Indianapolis and Baltimore had their resolve tested on Sunday, and both teams came thru with last minute touchdowns to protect their undefeated records.
The Colts got a last minute touchdown run on a quarterback sneak by Peyton Manning to beat the Jets 31-28 in a see saw game at the Meadowlands.
Baltimore won after getting a late safety and a touchdown pass from Steve McNair to Todd Heap in a game that was dominated by defense, defeating previously unbeaten San Diego 16-13.
Chicago might have been the biggest surprise of the day as they face off with Seattle in a battle of undefeated teams. The Bears dominated the game and showed that they might be the best team in the NFC by hammering the Seahawks 37-6 in Chicago.
The other teams to lose for the first time this season included Cincinnati, who was looking to make a statement at home against the New England Patriots, apparently they sent the wrong message as the Patriots won 38-13.
New Orleans also lost for the first time this year after having a late lead against Carolina and losing 21-18.
