Don't look now, but the Seattle Seahawks are coming. Their 43-16 drubbing of the San Francisco 49ers was their third in a row and fifth in their last seven games.
The Dallas Cowboys are trending up, too, with four straight victories in the bag. Maybe you weren't impressed by single-score triumphs over the Philadelphia Eagles or Atlanta Falcons, but everyone took notice when the Cowboys clipped the New Orleans Saints' wings on Thursday night.
Not everyone is living a charmed life, of course. The Green Bay Packers dropped their third contest in a row Sunday, a stretch that cost former coach Mike McCarthy his job.
