Cincinnati is struggling.  Losing A.J. Green for a few weeks, and Gio Bernard for the year will not help matters.  If there is one bright light, it is that the rest of their division is struggling.  However, given the way things have gone, it would be a stretch to think that they could make up the game and a half they are back in six weeks.

P-A-N-I-C.  After being told to relax relax relax, now would be the time to panic.  The Packers have lost four straight, and simply aren’t a good football team right now.  It is weird seeing the Packers 2 games below .500 this late in the year.  P-A-N-I-C.

27. Chicago Bears (27)

Jay Cutler may have very well thrown his last pass for the Bears after being ruled out for the rest of the season.  The question is:  Does this make Bears fans happy or sad?

28. New York Jets (29)

And the QB carousel continues as Ryan Fitzpatrick will again be the starter for the Jets.  This is reminiscent of the 2015 Texans QB situation, minus the division title of course.
