This is the tightest division in the league this season so far, and even basement team, the Washington Redskins, are on 4-3-1 and are still in the race.

Earlier in Week 9 on Thursday Night Football, the Atlanta Falcons and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers met at the Raymond James Stadium in Florida as the Buccaneers looked to get back to an even record with a home win.
However, the high flying Falcons were too much for Tampa Bay and overwhelmed them throughout, claiming a comfortable 43-28 victory to move to 6-3.
That results also dropped the Buccaneers down to 3-5 and their hopes of competing for the postseason now look to be teetering on the edge.
The game saw a dominant Falcons offense that piled on 461 total yards, and quarterback Matt Ryan tortured the Buccaneers defense with 344 passing yards and four touchdowns. In addition, Devonta Freeman added to the pain for Tampa Bay with 77 yards on the ground.
Shockingly in the game, the Buccaneers failed to force even a solitary Falcons' punt, which indicates the overwhelming dominance that Atlanta enjoyed in the big game.
On the other side, the Buccaneers' quarterback Jameis Winston threw 261 yards for three touchdowns, but he did not have enough options going forwards as the Tampa Bay rush attack was blunted badly by an in-your-face Falcons' defense.
As for the Falcons, it looks like they are cruising their way towards the Playoffs.
