The Giants seem downright dominating, and they’re improving week to week. (Clayton) |
|
|

This is a stunner: Getting to the QB is becoming a problem for the Jets’ defense. (Clayton) |
|
|
6 (1) |
Patriots |
6-2 |
It’s hard to believe a Bill Belichick team is ranked 32nd in third-down defense. (Clayton) |
|
|

The defense has allowed only seven points in the past two games. (Walker) |
|

|
|
10 (5) |
Colts |
5-3 |
The limited Bengals are just the right sort of team to pop up on the Colts’ schedule now. (Kuharsky) |

11 (9) |
Titans |
5-3 |
Randy Moss has arrived, and the circus begins. (Kuharsky) |
|
|
12 (16) |
Raiders |

Only three AFC teams have more wins and only one other (the Jets) is 3-0 in its division. (Kuharsky) |
|
|
13 (14) |
Buccaneers |
5-3 |
The best-team-in-the-NFC mantra can wait for now, but the Bucs definitely have made progress. (Sando) |
|
|
14 (11) |
Chiefs |
5-3 |
The Chiefs’ next four games appear favorable: at Denver, Arizona, at Seattle, Denver. (Kuharsky) |
|
|
15 (13) |
Texans |
4-4 |
Stuck with no-name receivers? No matter if you’re playing the Texans, who give yards to all. (Kuharsky) |
|
|
16 (22) |
Chargers |
4-5 |
Are the Chargers transitioning from typically poor early season to typically strong late season? (Kuharsky) |
|
|
17 (15) |
Dolphins |
4-4 |
LB Cameron Wake is having a Pro Bowl season, but the running game needs a wake-up call. (Clayton) |
|
|
18 (18) |
Redskins |
4-4 |
Did Donovan McNabb need all of this Mike Shanahan controversy before a game against the Eagles? (Clayton) |
|
|
19 (17) |
Bears |
5-3 |
With the way the Bears played in Week 9, they were lucky they were facing the winless Bills. (Walker) |
|
|
20 (19) |
Jaguars |
4-4 |
Look at Week 10 this way: David Garrard’s been better than Matt Schaub of late, and the Jags swept the Texans in 2009. (Kuharsky) |
|
|
21 (21) |
Rams |
4-4 |
Beating the 49ers in Week 10 would give the Rams their first road victory and a winning record. (Sando) |
|
|
22 (23) |
Vikings |
3-5 |
It’s clear QB Brett Favre and coach Brad Childress won’t spend the holidays together. (Walker) |
|
|
23 (26) |
Browns |
3-5 |
Rookie QB Colt McCoy owns wins over Drew Brees and Tom Brady. (Walker) |
|
|
24 (20) |
Seahawks |
4-4 |
Getting Russell Okung back will help the offensive line, but the defensive front is in shambles.(Sando) |
|
|
25 (24) |
Cardinals |
3-5 |
The Cardinals’ eight return touchdowns are helping to mask their offensive futility. (Sando) |
|
|
26 (25) |
Bengals |
2-6 |
It’s going to be a long second half of the season for the Bengals. (Walker) |
|
|
27 (27) |
Lions |
2-6 |
The Lions are like Ndamukong Suh’s kicking: great style points but poor results. (Walker) |
|
|
28 (30) |
49ers |
2-6 |
Troy Smith gives the 49ers’ offense a different look in a year when continuity was a top priority. (Sando) |

29 (28) |
Broncos |
2-6 |
Losers of four in a row before the bye, the Broncos now play host to the division-leading Chiefs. (Kuharsky) |
|
|
30 (29) |
Cowboys |
1-7 |
This wasn’t the way Jason Garrett envisioned becoming a head coach, taking over an underachieving team at midseason. (Clayton) |
|
|
31 (31) |
Panthers |
1-7 |
Perhaps coach John Fox can sell his next employer on the Panthers’ No. 11 defensive ranking. (Sando) |
|
|
32 (32) |
Bills |
0-8 |
The Bills are throwing the ball so much they might as well start calling the offense “Air Gailey.” (Clayton) |
