A look at an unexpectedly close "Monday Night Football" game: What it means: This game was the Kansas City Chiefs' season in a nutshell. They played the Pittsburgh Steelers close but made way too many mistakes in the end.
PITTSBURGH -- My thoughts on the Pittsburgh Steelers' 16-13 overtime win over the Kansas City Chiefs: What it means: Whether they were looking ahead to Sunday's game against the Ravens or simply unfocused, the Steelers (6-3) barely beat one of the NFL's worst teams on a rainy night at Heinz Field.

Thoughts on the Carolina Panthers' 36-14 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium: What it means: Did you really expect it to go any other way? Carolina’s dismal season just continued to get worse as former coach John Fox, armed with Peyton Manning, came to town and provided another painful reminder of how far the Panthers have fallen since their glory days under Fox.
Thoughts on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 34-24 victory against the San Diego Chargers on Sunday at Raymond James Stadium: What it means: The Bucs are 5-4. For a young team with a rookie NFL head coach in Greg Schiano, it is hugely significant to be over .
A look at another impressive outing by the Denver Broncos: What it means: Denver is rolling. It is now 6-3 and has won four straight games. Denver has a two-game lead in the AFC West over the San Diego Chargers who have a 4-5 record.
