All the talk about Aaron Rodgers and the Packers' issues on offense is deserved, but the defense is falling apart by the week. The Packers have little presence and bite without Clay Matthews and they had no answers for the Titans on the ground or through the air. None.

Tennessee had 21 points and 230 yards ... in the first quarter. This keeps up and something is going to give. There will be some probing questions asked of the recent drafts of GM Ted Thompson and, as much as this franchise prizes continuity, a shake-up is hardly out of consideration.

More notes from around the NFL in Week 10:

Houston Texans

Kudos to the Texans for being 6-3 and all, but they aren't winning a playoff game, or holding on to the division lead, with Brock Osweiler under center. If anything the offense constricts and regresses by the week, and his slow starts are chronic.

Osweiler repeatedly wasted pristine field position (including a late hit late in the first half that put them near field goal range) and there is no way that team can feel remotely confident about its ability to move the ball as we head to the stretch run. When the Texans play real teams, they get exposed, badly. If I am De'Andre Hopkins, I am asking for a grievance from the NFLPA to make this year's stats irrelevant in all contract negotiations. It ain't his fault.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Said it before and will say it again, Blake Bortles needs to sit. Even a marginal quarterback, in that weak division, and they are still in it. He threw another early pick-six on Sunday and didn't look the part until his team was down hopelessly late in the game. That's got to be getting old for everyone down there. The next regime there would be foolish to pick up that fifth-year option. I wouldn't.

New York Jets

Todd Bowles wouldn't commit to it after the game, but given the feelings about Ryan Fitzpatrick in that organization, and given that Bryce Petty was hardly overwhelmed in his first NFL start, I can't imagine a scenario where Fitzpatrick remains the starter coming out of the bye.

Petty showed enough to merit an extended look, and with pressure mounting from fans and ownership after a 3-7 start, Bowles has to know that. There is no reason not to get a look at a potential quarterback of the future, and if he looks the part it could help settle nerves and tempers in those parts.

Tennessee Titans

Marcus Mariota's last six games: 17 TDs, 2 INTs. Not too shabby. Wrote three weeks ago about how some scouts and evaluators I trust pegged the Titans as the team to break from the pack in the AFC South. I believe they will be right.
