Halfway Point

Because the NFL is 17 weeks long, the question I've always wondered, what is the halfway point of the NFL? Because of byes, several teams' halfway point is at different points. I usually consider this past week the halfway point. So here we are at the halfway point. Hard to believe that we are hitting November and several teams are surprising and some are playing to their expectations. With all that being said, here is what happened during Week 8.
