It's a tough time of year in the NFL, as coaching changes and quarterback issues are bubbling up all over the league. But it's also a feel-good time for some, if you look around. Times may be tough in places such as Dallas, Jacksonville, Las Vegas, New Orleans and, suddenly, Chicago. But the intrigue level remains high in a season that has taken some interesting twists and turns. There wasn't a ton of shakeup to the rankings this week, but there was notable movement in the NFC North and NFC West, perhaps two of the more fascinating divisions going right now.
