The first eight weeks of the NFL season flew by, and we are now entering the second half of the regular season.
With each passing week, the overall picture becomes a little clearer. There are some clear contenders when healthy: the Patriots, 49ers, Packers, Saints, and Chiefs. A few other teams are close, but still have a little bit to prove: the Colts, Seahawks, Rams, Cowboys, and Ravens.
