Something tells me that 41 years ago when the owners of 24 professional football teams - 15 in the NFL, nine in the AFL - sat down to discuss a playoff game between their respective champions, total harmony did not exist. Chances are pretty good the majority of those owners couldn't agree what day it was.

With the NFL season at the midway point, the debates have begun about the races for the major awards -- most valuable player, coach of the year and rookie of the year.

Maybe it's Baltimore's struggles in Cleveland last week. More probably it's San Diego's two rocking-chair wins (combined score 67-7) over two of the NFL's worst, the Raiders and Titans.

It's hard to imagine: A 12-2 team has reached a crossroads with two regular-season games left. But today's AFC East showdown against the New York Jets can be used as a barometer to measure whether the Patriots continue to be vulnerable.
