“Bills at Chiefs Sean McDermott’s bold move to start Peterman backfired spectacularly after the rookie’s horrific debut, and now the Bills, still very much in contention, must circle the wagons back around Tyrod Taylor? Speaking of circling the wagons, the Chiefs’ 5-0 start has devolved into 6-4, and that big-strike offense early in the year repeatedly struck out in a road loss to the Giants with Andy Reid outsmarting himself with too many gimmicks on offense. Kareem Hunt should get at least 25 touches vs. a Bills disintegrating defense. Dolphins at Patriots Miami has gone from 10-6 postseason surprise a year ago to an undisciplined 4-6 mess. Matt Moore likely will start after Jay Cutler tossed three picks prior to getting knocked out of the ‘Phins’ 30-20 home defeat to the Bucs. New England, meanwhile, continued asserting its dominance by routing the Raiders in Mexico City for a sixth consecutive victory. Five of the Patriots’ final six games are within the division, a Week 15 AFC title game rematch in Pittsburgh notwithstanding. Panthers at Jets Cam Newton and Co. emerge from the bye with a one-game division deficit. They’ll have a chance to make up in New Orleans in Week 13, and it appears this week they’ll have a healthy Greg Olsen reinserted into their ascending offense that played easily its best game before the break. The Jets also exit their bye, albeit without the same level of confidence after losing four of their past five games but by a combined 20 points. Seahawks at 49ers Seattle entered a brave new world without Richard Sherman and Kam Chancellor on Monday night vs. Atlanta. But it watched the Rams come down to earth and into an NFC West tie with their loss Sunday in Minnesota, giving Pete Carroll’s club the upper hand. The start of the Jimmy Garoppolo era will have to wait at least one more week. Despite the newly acquired quarterback spending the bye week with Kyle Shanahan and having just six games to compel Niners brass to forego the franchise tag and offer him a multi-year deal, San Francisco will roll with C.J. Beathard, who had his best NFL game before the bye.”
