• There was one especially bad beat in Week 10. Tied 17-17 with 20 seconds remaining, Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters stripped Carolina receiver Kelvin Benjamin in Panthers territory and recovered his NFL-high third fumble. Cairo Santos kicked the game-winning 37-yard field goal as time expired.

• The Panthers last-second defeat had an impact on a couple of different futures. At 3-6, Carolina is no longer expected to win the NFC South or even make the playoffs. They are currently +1000 to win the NFC South and were previously +250 to playoffs. These are drastic shifts after the Panthers had the shortest odds to win their division (-275) and make the playoffs (-500), which reveals just how much the team has underperformed this season.
• Despite their home loss to Seattle, New England remains the favorite (+140) to win the Super Bowl. In addition, the top-five most likely Super Bowl matchups all involve the Patriots.
• Both the AFC West and the NFC North division races got even tighter after Week 10. (Odds via Bovada)
  • AFC West: Kansas City Chiefs +160, Oakland Raiders +160, Denver Broncos +225
  • NFC North: Green Bay Packers +170, Detroit Lions +170, Minnesota Vikings +200
