Pro Football: AFC Update

There are some surprises at the top of the standings in all but one of the four AFC divisions.

In what seems like a weak AFC East there are three teams, the disappointing (so far), New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills tied with (2-2) records. The slow pace leaves the (1-3) New York Jets still in the race.

In the North, the slight pre season favorite, the Cincinnati Bengals lead with a (3-0) record with the Baltimore Ravens next with a (3-1) mark.

In the AFC South, the Houston Texans, scheduled for two national telecasts which is so unusual for a team that went (2-14) last season, lead with a (3-1) mark. The TV executives/NFL schedule maker was way ahead of the curve in assessing the Houston Texans’ progress.

In the AFC West, the San Diego Chargers lead with a (3-1) record with the defending AFC champion, Denver Broncos next at (2-1).
