NFL Outlook:

The NFL season is heating up with surprises like the Denver Broncos who made an about face to the reigning AFC West winning champions like the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have ruled the division by winning the division for 9 consecutive years but this year will be unless the Broncos collapse. The Broncos showed that they are for real winning at home by score of 22-19. Quarterback Bo Nix of Denver Broncos came through in the 4th quarter with clutch throws down the stretch to set up the game winning field goal by Kicker Wil Lutz from 35 yards.

Now the Denver Broncos are 9-2 currently on a 8-game winning streak. The Chiefs are now 5-5 and in jeopardy of missing the playoffs. The AFC West may have a new sheriff in town and it is the Denver Broncos. Moving forward to this week's slate of games keep eyes on Texans/Bills/ Eagles/Cowboys/Chiefs/Colts/

Bears/Steelers/Rams/Buccaneers 

Panthers/49ers.

NBA Outlook:

The NBA landscape is intriguing because the Oklahoma City Thunder have rolling thunder on the competition because they are 15-1 so far this season including a 7-game winning streak but out in the Eastern Conference how about the Detroit Pistons who has a 11-game winning streak which has a record of 13-2.

In the NFL world, it lost a great player in Pro Football Hall of Fame, safety Kenny Easley who passed away at 66 who played for the Seattle Seahawks from 1981 to 1987 when the Seahawks were in the AFC. He was one of the best player at his position for example in 1984 he won Defensive Player of The Year Award. Easley was a 4-time All-Pro First Team. He was one on the All-Decade Team for the 1980s.

He had 32 interceptions and 8 sacks and had the moniker as The Enforcer and was the last of a dying breed of hard hitting Safeties like himself and Ronnie Lott. If these 2 gentleman played today then they would be flagged an abundance of penalties.
