30. 29. Tennessee Titans 2-8 Could Mettenberger be the long term answer?
31. 30. Jacksonville Jaguars 1-9 Head to Indianapolis off the bye which is at least better than playing a home game in London where everybody is rooting for the Cowboys.
32. 32. Oakland Raiders 0-10 Remaining schedule makes a win seem incredibly unlikely.
