The NFL is sometimes about making a statement, sending a message to the rest of the league.
The New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens both did that last week with their last-second road wins at Foxboro and Pittsburgh, respectively.
Wins away from home over top competition can give teams worlds of confidence and fill the next week's opposition with fear and doubt.
Here are three road teams that will make statements with big W's in Week 10.
New Orleans Saints Over Atlanta Falcons
At 6-3, the Saints can take control of the NFC South with a road win over the surging Falcons. Drew Brees and New Orleans' offense bounced back nicely last week against the Buccaneers, winning easy at home.
Sunday afternoon's game will feature flawless conditions for the Saints' explosive, top-ranked passing attack to put up points in bunches on the Falcons' suspect secondary.
Houston Texans Over Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Texans have won three straight NFL games and now find themselves sitting pretty atop the AFC South at 6-3.
A road win out of the conference on Sunday in Florida would give Houston its seventh win of the year and put them in prime position to make the playoffs for the first time in franchise history.
Tampa has been trending down in recent weeks and seems worse than the youthful 10-6 team we saw a year ago.
Denver Broncos Over Kansas City Chiefs
Tim Tebow has made two major statements this season already, leading the Broncos to two improbable road wins, something Kyle Orton could not do.
Sunday's divisional matchup with the Chiefs will provide Tebow and the Broncos with the opportunity to prove their emerging dominance in the AFC West and as one of the better road teams in the league.
Tebow would have a winning record, 4-3 as an NFL starter with a win in Week 10, and that's a statement.
