I am baffled by how bad the Bengals played. We knew New England would come out much more focused than last week, but I didn't expect the Bengals to fall apart like that.
On the flip side to that, the other team from Ohio looked like a completely different team. And just like that, they are 2-2.
As to the Jets, hard to think all this after the team "saved" Rex at the end of last season.
Bruce Arinas is saying the Broncos played dirty. But the Cardinals let the game get away from them once Stanton was done, and the Broncos offense made them pay.
Alex Smith had a real chance to beat his former team, and instead finally made a terrible throw that cost KC the game. But this game still told me that the Chiefs are better than people said, and the 49ers not as good.
That Buffalo win was something to see too. For the Bills defense to carry Jim Schwartz off the field, in Detroit none the less, wow. If that doesn't light a fire underneath the Lions this coming week, nothing will.
Alex Henry was indeed cut by Detroit. I can see missing 1, maybe even 2 long field goals. But all three? Lions kickers are 1 of 9 overall this season. Wow.
The Saints just do not look very good, and their supposedly improved defense continues to struggle. Meanwhile, I can't help but think Mike Glennon is the QB for the Bucs, it's like a completely different team with him under center.
Speaking of Glennon, and his "arm", I never recalled him having a particularly strong or weak arm, other than Foxxy criticizing him. I don't know the raw numbers, but found this full scouting report on him.
They compared him to Joe Flacco, one of the strongest arms in the NFL.

Arm strength is certainly sufficient to distribute the ball all over the field, and he can place it between defenders over the middle when his target sits down in zones.
Tends to retreat instead of stepping up...though his arm gives him a chance to get the ball out of bounds or find an open target while still backpedalling. And while he has the arm and tight spiral to threaten defenses with the deep ball, his inconsistent accuracy and reading of coverages keep him from being efficient in the vertical game.
The lean, strong-armed passer performed fairly well in a difficult situation (3,054 yards, 31 touchdowns) when asked to take over for Wolfpack legend Russell Wilson.
