America's self-proclaimed team is America's mess right now. The Dallas Cowboys are playing some bad football, embarrassingly bad football. The Cowboys did the unthinkable Sunday when owner Jerry Jones' birthday celebration turned bad as somebody decided to throw the proverbial turd in the punch bowl.

Kirk Cousins led the Falcons to another 38 points and they are now 4-2 and atop the NFC South in a battle with Tampa Bay. Buffalo held off the Jets on Monday night. They made mistakes but also came up with a big interception.

One year after the AFC North made NFL history by having all four of its teams finish with winning records, the NFC North is trying to replicate the feat.
