Here's what we know after Sunday: The Eagles remain the NFL's only undefeated team, but that cushion is just one game for the top seed in the NFC after the Vikings erased a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter against the Commanders to keep themselves rolling this season.

The Eagles did win the head-to-head matchup against the Vikings, giving them the tiebreaker. But for the moment, the NFC is a two-horse race.

Here's another thing we know: The NFC South is the worst division in football, and the only one devoid of a single winning team. Yikes.

Only three teams in NFL history have won a divisional title with a losing record. The NFC South looks likely to provide a fourth team to that ignominious list.

The AFC East got a whole lot more interesting Sunday, meanwhile, after the Jets upset the Bills and the Dolphins survived a historic performance from Bears quarterback Justin Fields. Just a half game separates those three teams, while the Patriots are also lurking at 5-4.

The AFC East is the only division in football with four winning teams. In fact, the only other division in the NFL with three winning teams is the NFC East, with both the Cowboys and Giants two games back of the aforementioned Eagles.

The AFC West, tapped by some to be a historically competitive division, has sputtered a bit and appears to be a two-team battle between the Chiefs and the Chargers. The former survived a competitive overtime clash against the Titans, and the latter survived a tough battle against the Falcons. Meanwhile, the Raiders continue to be one of the biggest disappointments in football after blowing a 17-point lead against the lowly Jaguars.

Perhaps only the Packers could make a stronger argument for being the season's biggest disappointment after an inept offensive performance Sunday against the Lions. Aaron Rodgers' decision to return this season looks worse and worse by the week.
