PITTSBURGH -- That's it. We should all give up trying to figure out this year's NFL. Nothing about it makes sense. A Sunday that saw the Bills, Cowboys, Broncos, 49ers and Jaguars all pick up wins ended with a Sunday night upset by Tom Brady and the Patriots over the Steelers at Heinz Field. The same Patriots who got rolled last week by the Browns raced out to a 23-3 lead and held on to beat the Steelers, 39-26. That's right. They dropped 39 on the Steelers' defense. In Pittsburgh."Your last one is your best one," Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo said, and while his point was about his team and the way it bounced back from the Cleveland loss, he could have been summing up the weekly goal of every team in a league in which no one has stood out and these 7-2 Patriots might just be suited to be the last team standing.
By now you've heard that this is the first NFL season in 51 years in which each team lost at least two of its first eight games. But it gets nuttier than that. Right now, only six teams in the league have winning or losing streaks of longer than two games, and only one (the T.Ocho Show out there in Cincinnati at six straight losses) has a streak longer than three. There's no way to know who's any good, because each week everybody looks totally different. The Pollyannas call it parity. The realists call it mediocrity. But the facts are that someone is going to win this year's Super Bowl, there's no way right now to even imagine who it could possibly be, and the Patriots ... well, they have a lot going for them.
