Takeaways from Week Nine in the NFL season

We're past the halfway point of the season, which means the playoff picture is emerging. What happened in Week Nine of the NFL season?

• The Saints Still Run the NFC South: New Orleans handily defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 38-3. Trey Hendrickson had two sacks in the game, with the rest of the defensive line pressuring Tom Brady into throwing three interceptions. The Saints defense held Tampa Bay to only 194 total yards and only eight rushing yards. With the win, the Saints proved they still run the NFC South while the Bucs still have some issues to work out before taking control of the NFC.
  
• Will the Jets Go 0-16? The New York Jets blew a 20-10 lead, losing on a last-second field goal to the New England Patriots, 30-27. Joe Flacco looked competent, going 18-for-25 with 262 yards, three touchdowns, an interception, and a QBR of 97. It was just this Jets team is extremely awful. There is a strong possibility the Jets will become the third team in NFL history to go 0-16.
