Does it really feel like we're already halfway through the NFL season ? In a year where there are no undefeated teams and not even a single one-loss team as we hit Week 9 , actually landing on the teams that are going to stand out from the pack by the end of the season can be a murky, dangerous proposition. There are nine two-loss teams right now. This is not normal.

I'm a little more confident in evaluating what I've seen out of individual players and coaches, which helps as I put together my midseason awards ballot. Thinking about teams in terms of what we've seen over nine games is difficult, especially when so many games have come down to one possession late in the fourth quarter. It's easier to evaluate individuals, seeing their performance over hundreds of snaps.
