The Dallas Cowboys got a bye week after their crucial victory in London. Romo will hopefully be healthy after having some time off, but you never know with back injuries.

J.J. Watt seems like a lock for Defensive Player of the Year after hauling in another TD on a fade route this weekend. Is there anything he can't do?

Drew Stanton had a pretty good week. After all of the haters proclaimed the Arizona Cardinals to be out of championship contention, Stanton lifted his team over the Detroit Lions on Sunday. He could be in for a Brady-like ride from bench-warmer to superstar.

Sticking with the Bears for a moment, Jared Allen was able to record a sack against his former team, and he was a crucial factor in the run defense as well.

The Steelers got lucky against the Tennessee Titans, and Ben Roethlisberger may have played his way out of the MVP conversation. Pittsburgh did get a crucial win in a tight division race though.

The New England Patriots are clearly hotter than any other team in the NFL, and Bill Belichick is the perfect coach for both Brady and Darrelle Revis.
