| Rnk | LW* | Team | Record | Comments |
| 1. | 2. | Denver Broncos | 4-0 | Lynch gave them a glimpse of the future when Siemian was forced out with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder. |
| 2. | 3. | Minnesota Vikings | 4-0 | Have a league best +10 turnover differential. |
| 3. | 1. | New England Patriots | 3-1 | Suffered their first home shutout loss since '93. |
| 4. | 4. | Green Bay Packers | 2-1 | Come off the bye with 3 straight home games at Lambeau Field. |
| 5. | 5. | Seattle Seahawks | 3-1 | Return of Graham seemed to elevate Wilson. |
| 6. | 6. | Philadelphia Eagles | 3-0 | Only defense this season allowing fewer than 10 points per game. |
| 7. | 7. | Pittsburgh Steelers | 3-1 | What a difference a week makes. Dominated the Chiefs on both sides of the ball from beginning-to-end a week after being dominated by the Eagles in the same manner. |
| 8. | 11. | Dallas Cowboys | 3-1 | Dak just keeps getting better. What do they do when Romo is ready to return? |
| 9. | 13. | Cincinnati Bengals | 2-2 | Only scored 4 TDs in 13 red zone opportunities so far this season. Eifert's return will obviously help. |
| 10. | 16. | Atlanta Falcons | 3-1 | Explosive offense faces major test this week in Mile High City. |
| 11. | 17. | Oakland Raiders | 3-1 | All wins so far on the road, the last 2 in the Eastern time zone. |
| 12. | 15. | Houston Texans | 3-1 | Rookie Fuller first player in franchise history with a receiving and return TD in the same game. Already have a 2 game lead in pathetic AFC South. |
| 13. | 8. | Baltimore Ravens | 3-1 | All their games this season have been decided by less than a TD. |
| 14. | 9. | Kansas City Chiefs | 2-2 | Bye gives them a week to regroup from last Sunday night's debacle at Heinz Field. |
| 15. | 21. | Los Angeles Rams | 3-1 | Keenum has been surprisingly serviceable. |
| 16. | 14. | New York Giants | 2-2 | Beckham frustrated, shut down with a career low 23 receiving yards by Rhodes. |
| 17. | 23. | Buffalo Bills | 2-2 | Looked dead and buried losing their first two games with the Cards and Pats next up on the schedule. Somehow Rex and Rob have turned things around. |
| 18. | 20. | Washington Redskins | 2-2 | Jones and the improving running game helping to take pressure off Cousins. |
| 19. | 10. | Carolina Panthers | 1-3 | Letting Norman go not looking like a very smart move. |
| 20. | 12. | Arizona Cardinals | 1-3 | Bad time for a road trip on a short work week with Palmer in the concussion protocol. |
| 21. | 28. | Jacksonville Jaguars | 1-3 | Get a bye after pleasant trip to jolly old London. |
| 22. | 18. | Indianapolis Colts | 1-3 | Luck has been sacked 15 times in 4 games. |
| 23. | 19. | New York Jets | 1-3 | Fitzpatrick has thrown 9 interceptions in the last 2 games. |

| 25. | 29. | New Orleans Saints | 1-3 | Shippensburg alum Kuhn vultured 3 TDs in San Diego to lead them to their first win. |
| 26. | 31. | Chicago Bears | 1-3 | Fox noncommital about whether Cutler when healthy will be given starting job over Hoyer. Doesn't really matter honestly. |
| 27. | 24. | San Diego Chargers | 1-3 | Blew a 13 point lead in the final 5 minutes. Their 3 losses are by a combined 11 points, held a fourth quarter lead in each games. |
| 28. | 25. | Miami Dolphins | 1-3 | Offense last in the league in third down conversions. |
| 29. | 26. | Tennessee Titans | 1-3 | Not sure whether Mullarkey's conservative offense is the cause of Marriota's poor play or vice-a-versa. |
| 30. | 27. | Detriot Lions | 1-3 | No longer treading water under Caldwell, now sinking like a stone. |
| 31. | 30. | San Francisco 49ers | 1-3 | Return of Lynch from suspension doesn't overcome loss of Bowman for the season to a torn Achilies' and Buckner for what could be an extended period to a foot injury. |
| 32. | 32. | Cleveland Browns | 0-4 | The last remaining winless team. Not only traded the pick used to take Wentz, but also passed on Carr to take Manziel. |
