Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez (The Associated Press)
THREE UP
1. Vikings: Teddy Bridgewater rallied for consecutive late wins. They come out of bye week facing a sinking ship that is the Chicago Bears.
2. Eagles: Mark Sanchez played well in first start in two years and second-round rookie receiver Jordan Matthews had a breakout game (nine catches, 138 yards, two TDs) on Monday against Carolina.
3. Lions: Won three in a row in cardiac fashion. Matthew Stafford has been clutch — and Calvin Johnson returned in style (seven catches, 113 yards, one TD) against Miami.
THREE UP
1. Cardinals: Have won five in a row, and they’re down? It’s all about the quarterback position — and without Carson Palmer, the Cardinals are on borrowed time.
2. Panthers: I’m officially off the Cam Newton bandwagon. Here’s why: 1-5-1 in the last seven games.
3. Giants: Tom Coughlin is 68 years old and in his 11th season as the Giants’ coach. I don’t think he should coach the Giants for a 12th season at age 69.
