Tom Brady and the Patriots are finally dying -- for the 883rd time -- and there's no way they'll ever win the Super Bowl. The Texans also beat them in a football game, what's up with that?

When the Raiders can run the ball and protect Derek Carr, they're a fine offense. When they can't do either of those things, they're dead in the water.

We look at the 10 defenses that have improved the most from 2018 to 2019. What are they doing differently, and how can they keep it up for the remainder of the season?

And can Atlanta's cornerbacks maintain the improvement they have shown in recent weeks -- and does it matter if they do?

The keys to Atlanta's shocking win over New Orleans were a dominant rushing attack that came out of nowhere and a pass rush that nearly doubled its season sack total in one game. What does that say about the Falcons -- and why was this game not the disaster for New Orleans that it appeared to be?
