The first tidal wave of upsets swelled up and came crashing down with thunderous authority in Week 4. The repercussions of such a jolt in Week 4 typically doesn't spell doom for a team on the rise since the season is early, but it can serve as an awakening agent for a struggling team and redirect them going the other way.
Teams that showed they could be coming out of their cocoon are Kansas City, Arizona, and Cleveland. Those that shouldn't be fazed with their loss are Pittsburgh, Houston, and probably Denver.
Cincinnati, San Diego, Chicago, St. Louis, and Atlanta are in serious jeopardy.
Other observations from Week 4:
- Do you think the San Diego Chargers are regretting letting Wade Phillips go to Dallas?
- The QB of the future for Chicago is currently not on the team.
- One of the raps on Brett Favre last season was his riskiness which led to 18 INT's for the season. This year he has two and has maintained his high level of competitiveness.
- Daunte Culpepper rushed for 3 TD's last week and threw for 2 more. The jury is still out on whether his career can be revived to a level higher than he's experienced, but expect many teams to come calling for his services in the off-season.
- The season-ending injuries to RB Cadillac Williams and LT Luke Petitgout could turn out to be the tentacle that grabs Jon Gruden and the Bucs around the leg and pulls them back under water.
- I found a flaw in New England's machine. They are ranked 32nd in punting net yards.
- It's like peanut butter without jelly, a McDonald's minus the Big Mac, and Roger Ebert with no thumbs as Peyton Manning is very likely to be without Marvin Harrison this Sunday after his knee injury.
