Biggest question left to answer: Can this team keep winning with Raheem Morris as the head coach? Morris took over and led Atlanta to a 3-1 record in his first four games as the interim head coach after the team started 0-5. With the exception of frustrated outside linebacker Takk McKinley, who was released, the players seem to have taken to Morris and the temporary staff. If Atlanta continues to show signs of promise over the remaining games, team owner Arthur Blank might be inclined to give Morris his second shot at being a head coach.

Which is the toughest game left? The Bucs' toughest game remaining is facing the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs (8-1) at home in Week 12. But it might not be their most important one. Their Monday Night Football game against the 5-3 Rams in Week 11 might be, because if they can't win the NFC South (they could still theoretically win the division despite being swept by the Saints, and it has happened on nine occasions since 2006), they need to fight for playoff seeding.Final record prediction: 11-5. The Bucs' final seven opponents are a combined 28-26 (they play the Falcons twice, so we are counting them twice), with only two of those teams -- the Rams and Chiefs -- posting winning records. -- Jenna Laine


First half in two words: Injury ravaged. Yes, plenty of teams have been hit hard by injury, but none to the devastating extent of the 49ers. Nine games into their season, the Niners have $80.8 million worth of cap space on injured reserve, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. NFL teams are loathe to use injuries as an excuse for performance, but what's happened with San Francisco has been so overwhelming that there's just no other way to define its season so far.


Kansas City Chiefs: They're making a strong bid to pull off the first successful Super Bowl title defense in 16 years. QB Patrick Mahomes (25 TDs, 1 INT) may now be in prime position to notch league MVP honors for the second time in three years. And good luck finding a better-designed or more explosive offensive attack – one that's more than compensated for a recently sputtering ground game. K.C. does remain susceptible, especially defensively, to balanced


New York Giants: First-time coach Joe Judge didn't inherit a very impressive roster, then lost his best player (RB Saquon Barkley) in Week 2. Despite those circumstances and the erratic play of second-year QB Daniel Jones, this team is almost unfailingly competitive – and even at 2-7, it remains a viable contender to prevail in the lowly NFC East.Denver Broncos: Losing Pro Bowlers like OLB Von Miller and WR Courtland Sutton to injuries so quickly – not to mention second-year QB Drew Lock's early season shoulder issues – quickly halted any momentum this club had built at the conclusion of 2019. Even without Sutton, a young receiving corps has made nice strides. Otherwise, this may be shaping up as a lost year in the Mile High City.


There's evidence to suggest which kind of COVID-19 approaches in professional sports do work -- the NBA and NHL's bubbles, for example, pretty much went off as perfectly as one could have expected -- and which ones don't (see: MLB). The NFL is trying the latter, without bubbles, and has been paying the price for it with frantic schedule changes due to positive tests and star players not being allowed to play. " 다파벳 of it is definitely for the optics of it. Some of it is probably based on science... but it's definitely changed the season for sure," he said.You can watch the entire clip down below.
