The Giants climb all the way back to number one in DVOA, leading a pack of four NFC teams atop our ratings in a week that sees a lot of upheaval.

Eagles Fire Juan Castillo
Holy scapegoat, Batman. This would have been a really smart-looking move, say, one year ago. But over the second half of last season and the first half of this season, the Eagles defense has dramatically improved while their offense has declined. In the new DVOA ratings, they are ninth in defense and 26th on offense. Was Castillo really the problem? I wonder if there's more to this than just frustration over a 3-3 record. Secondary coach Todd Bowles will take over.

Ravens Defense Loses Lewis, Webb; Suggs to Return?
Multiple stories here, so we'll just link to a page that's up to date on all of them. Ravens cornerback Lardarius Webb tore his ACL and is done for the year. Ray Lewis apparently avoided a full tear of his right triceps, but he's still out for the next few weeks at least, probably the rest of the year. On the bright side, Terrell Suggs may resume "light practice" this week and is targeting a Week 9 return. Still, it's hard to imagine that he'll return at full Defensive Player of the Year level. The Ravens defense is in serious trouble. Next man up, I guess.

ESPN Upset Watch: Packers over Texans
Frankly, not a very good week for Upset Watch, with most lines at three points or less. No game really sticks out as a possible upset, but Green Bay-Houston comes closest because Green Bay really isn't playing like a 2-3 team. (Houston, however, is playing like a 5-0 team, which is why this wasn't the easiest week to pick an Upset Watch.) Cover Watch is Tennessee-Pittsburgh.

Cedric Benson Has a Lisfranc Injury
It didn't look too bad when he hurt it, but apparently Cedric Benson has a Lisfranc injury and is out for at least eight weeks, possibly the rest of the year. Honestly, this doesn't really hurt the Packers at all -- Benson just isn't very good -- but it sure does have fantasy football impact... especially for the Football Outsiders team in the crazy 32-team expert league, where I drafted James Starks two days before the Packers signed Benson.
