The Patriots made a statement Sunday night taking down the previously unbeaten Chiefs. They dropped 43 points and got by them on a last-second field goal. With them being healthy and fully stocked, this Patriots team went from 1-2 and people questioning if they still had it...to 4-2 and right back in the conversation of being a Super Bowl contender. On the other side, the Bears had their chances to take down the Dolphins and some costly mistakes led to a 31-28 loss in overtime to Brock Osweiler. The Bears are now 3-2 with both losses being games they essentially handed to their opponent that they should have won.

Never. Count. The. Patriots. Out...especially after just a few weeks into the season. After their 1-2 start, the Pats went out and traded for Josh Gordon and got Julian Edelman back from suspension. Mix that with the fact that the dynamic duo of Sony Michel and James White has been sensational, and that equals a Patriots team that is right up there as the cream of the crop in the AFC with the team they just took down in Week 6, the Kansas City Chiefs. Michel is looking to go for a rushing TD in his 4th straight game this week. He's been sensational after a slow start to the season. Their defense has been nothing to write home about, but luckily their offense has carried them to three straight victories. It's tough to think that the Dolphins have any chance to win this division over the Patriots, despite both being 4-2.
The Bears could easily be 5-0 right now. Last week, they had a lead they blew in the final minutes. They also missed a field goal that would have won them the game. In Week 1, they blew a 20-0 lead to Aaron Rodgers. If they don't make the playoffs, those two games might haunt them for a while. Their defense had a couple slip-ups last week but has played well all season. Khalil Mack is dealing with an ankle injury, and is questionable. He will likely play, but won't be 100%, which is good news for Tom Brady and the Pats offense. Mitchell Trubisky has got to find a way to stop making rookie mistakes. He's got so much potential, but has been very inconsistent. The Bears really need him to step up and take that next step, because this team has a chance to be a playoff team.
