In a week full of close games, we are starting to see some identities unfold. The Dolphins went down to the improving Bengals, but lost their quarterback to a questionable concussion protocol. The team is now under heat for not only the decision to let Tua play, but how they will play without him. The Eagles now remain the only undefeated team after going 4-0 in a victory over their former coach Doug Pederson, who brought the Lombardi back to Philly. Which this wasn't the only team that won in the division, as the Cowboys and Giants also picked up wins to advance to 3-1. This leaves the NFC East as the best division record wise, but we have to question how long this will last as the season grows. The Titans seem to be growing as they picked up their second win in a row and hope to continue after a rough start. Rough is what the Raiders were described as before they finally picked up their first victory of the season over the Broncos. The Chiefs also in the division of those two teams, and seem to be the clear favorite after another dominant performance against the Bucs. Which leads me to believe we have a consensus top three teams in the league in some shape or form; the Bills, Eagles, and Chiefs. The Cowboys, Packers, and Vikings seem to be heading in the right direction as 3-1 teams in the NFC as well. Lastly, a team that's also in the NFC that finally got their feet on the ground, San Fransisco. The 49ers looked like the team many believed them to be at the start, with the defense dominating in a 24-9 victory over the Rams. After this week we can start to see some teams playing like they should, and some separating themselves from the pack.
