Questions, takeaways off Sunday's NFL games: What now for Chiefs, Ravens, Commanders?
Our NFL Nation reporters react to all the action, answering the biggest questions coming out of each Sunday game. Here's what we learned from Week 8.
The NFL is heating up, and Week 8 delivered some major surprises and shake-ups across the league. For the Kansas City Chiefs, a loss raises questions about their ability to dominate the AFC West and make a deep playoff run. With their high-powered offense struggling to find rhythm, it's clear that adjustments need to be made - and fast. The Ravens, on the other hand, continue to prove themselves as a force to be reckoned with, but their own challenges lie ahead.
The Washington Commanders' performance also has fans wondering what's next for this team. Can they sustain their momentum and make a push for the playoffs, or was their recent success just a flash in the pan? As the season wears on, every game becomes more crucial, and teams need to start separating themselves from the pack. Sunday's games provided a clearer picture of which teams are truly contenders - and which ones have some work to do.
Looking ahead, all eyes will be on the Chiefs as they try to bounce back from their loss and reclaim their spot atop the AFC West. The Ravens, meanwhile, face a tough test against a rising opponent, and the Commanders will need to keep their winning streak going to stay in the hunt. As the NFL landscape continues to shift, one thing is certain: the next few weeks will be just as thrilling and unpredictable as the ones we've seen so far.
