Other than last week in Houston too where they got bailed out? Or how about week one in Carolina where they nearly lost to a 1-3 Panthers who have only beat the 0-5 Giants.

Their only Super Bowl performance has been against the Niners. I don't think 1 dominant game calls for any type of handing over of the Superbowl trophy.

Denver is still the SB favorite.

I believe Andrew Luck and the Colts might have something to say, they've beating the 49ers and Seahawks who were pre- season favorites to win the SB.

Their offense is good--not Denver good. And their defense is good, but not great.

Bottom line, they win when they have too.

Romo goes for 500 and 5 TD's and the loss will be blamed on him... sad

Romo: the Antonym of Clutch

That game was entertaining, but the real payoff was the look on Jerry Jones' face when Romo threw that INT.

Side note 3rd out of 5 weeks NFC east fails to win a game outside of division.

How in the world did Cincy hold the Pats to 6?

Because New England isn't that great and Cincys front 4 is the best in the league. They constantly get pressure on the QB with 4. Oh and the best pass rusher on the bengals and their best CB (Michael Johnson and Leon Hall).

4-1 isn't that great? I hate Brady and darth hoodie but be careful with that. Cincy at home is a tough opponent. They didnt exactly blow the pats away. If the pats play Cincy in January it'll be a different outcome.

If you look at their games

Bills- losing record team this year and last year; beat them on a last second field goal 23-20.

Jets- beat them 13-10. Geno smith threw 4 picks, two of which forced the final outcome of the game. Brady's young wideouts had I don't know how many drops.

Tampa Bay- 23-3. Beat them pretty handedly. Although this was also Josh Freeman's last game as a starter.

Atlanta- 30-23 good win for New England. Atlanta was without their best defensive player, starting RB, and multidimensional defensive player. New England did lose wilfork early which will hurt them more later on.
