Battle of the Unbeaten

One game can't determine if Tom Brady or Peyton Manning is the better quarterback. It will decide which of their teams is the best in the NFL.

One of the most highly anticipated non-playoff games in recent memory takes place on Sunday when the New England Patriots visit the Indianapolis Colts in the league's first matchup of teams who are unbeaten this far into a season.

Tough Battle in Cleveland

It's not at all surprising that the Seattle Seahawks sit atop the mediocre NFC West. That the Cleveland Browns have the same record and are in contention in the powerful AFC North is a more shocking development.

The teams meet in Cleveland on Sunday as both look to finish the first half of the season with a winning record.

Winning Ways

Quarterback Philip Rivers is not getting to throw the ball as much, and the San Diego Chargers are winning a lot more.

Now more conservative in the passing game, Rivers and the Chargers go for their fourth straight victory when they visit the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

Are the Bills for Real?

Injuries, an unsettled quarterback situation and a slow start appeared to make this a lost season for the Bills. Although some of those problems remain, Buffalo has played itself back into contention.

J.P. Losman will be back as the Bills' starting quarterback Sunday as they try to continue their dominance over the visiting Cincinnati Bengals.

Lions Out to Shock Again

The Detroit Lions have spent this decade being one of the worst teams in the NFL. This season, they will enter the halfway point as playoff contenders.

The Lions will be trying to build on their latest surprise win on Sunday when they host the Denver Broncos.
