Last year, the Eagles, Chiefs, Bills and Lions, formed a fearsome foursome. For most of the season, they were clearly the NFL’s elite.
This year, it’s hard to find an elite group like that — or to even determine how large that group might be. No team has really separated itself from the pack yet. And there’s a case to be made that any of the Top 10 teams could end up as the best in the league.

The offense has become unreliable, but the Packers did have a nice come-from-behind win over the Cardinals in the final minutes. Here’s a weird quirk: Green Bay has scored exactly 27 points in all four of its wins.
