4-3. Previous: . Pittsburgh Steelers. 12. team. 55.

The Steelers brought a three-game winning streak into their Monday night clash with the Bears. The club has started to move the football on the ground with some consistency as a revamped offensive line is beginning to find itself.

Veteran Ben Roethlisberger has also rebounded from a sluggish start and has also been much more efficient as of late. And rookie running back Najee Harris and an improving defensive unit may be just getting warmed up.

Previous: . Kansas City Chiefs. 11. team. 124. . 5-4

Things still don’t seem quite right for a team that has been to the last two Super Bowls. Andy Reid’s team was limited to 237 total yards, 13 points and one touchdown. And Kansas City’s defense did give up 122 yards on the ground.

But what the Chiefs didn’t do was give away the football and that was good news for a club that led the NFL with 19 turnovers after eight weeks of play. And the reigning AFC West champions are back above .500.

Previous: . Cincinnati Bengals. 10. team. 56. . 5-4

One week after being stunned by the Jets and giving up 34 points in the process, the Bengals welcomed the reeling Browns as the teams renewed their rivalry. And Zac Taylor’s club was dominated in nearly every phases of the game.

Second-year quarterback Joe Burrow was sacked five times and one of his two interceptions was taken back 99 yards for a score. Cincinnati was barely outgained (361-348) but the defense gave up 153 yards on the ground.
