You know it’s a topsy-turvy NFL season when ...
... the highest-scoring team in the league is the Chicago Bears, with Kyle Orton at quarterback.
... The Atlanta Falcons, a little more than a year after being written off for next-to-ever because of Michael Vick, have the same record as the New England Patriots and are better than the San Diego Chargers and Indianapolis Colts.
... Peyton Manning is 21st in the league in passer rating -- 13 spots behind Chad Pennington.
... LaDainian Tomlinson has run for 446 yards and four touchdowns in 123 carries and his longtime understudy with the Chargers, Michael Turner, now with the Falcons, has five more carries -- for 151 more yards and two more touchdowns.
... The Chargers’ Philip Rivers is the leader in a Sports Illustrated poll of most overrated quarterbacks -- at the same time he is the league leader in passer rating.
