Dallas Cowboys
It's hard to make sense of the inconsistencies we've seen from the Dallas Cowboys on both sides of the football this season.

Jacksonville Jaguars
The talent is there for the Jacksonville Jaguars to have success, they just haven't. There's been little to no pushback from this group, and head coach Doug Pederson essentially said there's a culture issue post game. That's never a good sign. Is Pederson coaching for his coach next week?

Seattle Seahawks
It wasn't a disastrous showing from the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football, but it certainly wasn't a good performance in the first half. After starting the year 3-0, the Seahawks have now lost three straight games.
