1. | 1. | Green Bay Packers | 7-0 | Rodgers already topped his career high for 300 yard games in a season with 6. Crosby also got in the act kicking a career best 58 yarder for his 20th straight made field goal. |
2. | 3. | New England Patriots | 5-1 | Won 7 of their last 9 against the Steelers, 7 of the last 8 with Brady at the helm. |
3. | 4. | San Fransisco 49ers | 5-1 | Rest of their division has 3 wins combined. |
4. | 5. | New Orleans Saints | 5-2 | Scored the most points in franchise history leading to a 55 point win which was the 8th largest margin in NFL history. |
5. | 2. | Baltimore Ravens | 4-2 | Road games against mediocre (at best) AFC South opponents that used to be their rivals in the old AFC Central are apparently their kryptonite. Flacco has regressed. |
6. | 8. | Pittsburgh Steelers | 5-2 | Big Ben to 60 minutes for 95 yards set a franchise record for longest receiving TD. |
7. | 11. | New York Giants | 4-2 | Come off the bye against the Dolphins at home. Which is the tougher matchup? |
8. | 12. | Buffalo Bills | 4-2 | At least them going to Toronto for a home game is less of an inconvenience than the Bucs having to go to London. |
9. | 15. | Atlanta Falcons | 4-3 | Gonzalez passed Carter and Harrison to move into 2nd place all time in receptions behind only Rice. |
10. | 7. | Detriot Lions | 5-2 | Dodged a bullet with MRI's coming back clean on Stafford's knee and ankle. Now need to stop the 2 game slide. |
11. | 17. | New York Jets | 4-3 | Start 4-0 at home for only the 4th time in franchise history. Finally got the ball to Burress in the red zone. |
12. | 6. | San Diego Chargers | 4-2 | Blew an 11 point halftime lead by giving up 17 unanswered 2nd half points. Rivers looked uncomfortable all afternoon in the pocket and his decisions in the two minute offense down 6 were mind boggling. Is he hiding an injury? |
13. | 13. | Cincinnati Bengals | 4-2 | Brown had to be laughing his ass off watching Palmer's extreme lack of mobility and noodle arm when he was forced to replace Boller. |
14. | 18. | Houston Texans | 4-3 | Foster took control topping the century mark in both rushing and receiving. The AFC South is in their grasp despite injuries to Johnson and Williams. |
15. | 16. | Chicago Bears | 4-3 | Angelo needs to pay Forte. |
16. | 21. | Dallas Cowboys | 3-3 | Felix who? Murray set the single game franchise rushing record, the 9th highest total in league history since the merger. |
17. | 9. | Oakland Raiders | 4-3 | Murphy's law was in full effect on Sunday. Lost McFadden after 2 carries. Boller threw 3 picks in the 1st half. Palmer was clearly not ready and threw 3 more interceptions plus a pick 6. Will Palmer ever be ready? |
18. | 10. | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 4-3 | Freeman threw 4 interceptions in London to raise his season total to 10. He threw 6 all of last season. |
19. | 19. | Philadelphia Eagles | 2-4 | The Lions could have really used Brown, but Harrison was lucky that a post trade physical detected a brain tumor. |
20. | 14. | Tennessee Titans | 3-3 | Turning into a lost season for Johnson. |
21. | 23. | Carolina Panthers | 2-5 | Newton already tied VY's rookie record for QB rushing TDs with his 7th. |
22. | 22. | Cleveland Browns | 3-3 | Jauron has always been a solid defensive coordinator despite his failures as a head coach. |
23. | 25. | Kansas City Chiefs | 3-3 | Can move into a tie for 1st if they can beat the Chargers this week in Arrowhead. Hard to believe after their start. |
24. | 20. | Washington Redskins | 3-3 | Beck proved adequate in defeat which is a step up from the Sex Cannon. Loss of Hightower for the season and Moss for 5 to 7 weeks doesn't help. |
25. | 27. | Jacksonville Jaguars | 2-5 | Scobee remained perfect on the season scoring all their points on 4 field goals, 3 from over 50 yards. It was enough to break their 5 game losing streak. |
26. | 28. | Denver Broncos | 2-4 | Tebow led the first comeback from a 15 or more point deficit with less than 3 minutes remaining since the merger after performing awfully for 55 minutes. |
27. | 26. | Minnesota Vikings | 1-6 | Why was McNabb ever starting over Ponder? |
28. | 24. | Seattle Seahawks | 2-4 | Whitehurst managed only 97 yards passing subbing for the injured Jackson. |
29. | 29. | Arizona Cardinals | 1-5 | Whisenhunt is off to his worst start as head coach. Can he survive? |
30. | 30. | St. Louis Rams | 0-6 | Could be forced to start Feeley again with Bradford nursing a high ankle sprain. |
31. | 31. | Miami Dolphins | 0-6 | Continued to suck for Luck in spectacular fashion by blowing a 15 point lead in the final 3 minutes. Would Cowher come back to coach Luck? |
32. | 32. | Indianapolis Colts | 0-7 | Ineptitude knows no bounds. Set a franchise record for points allowed that had stood since '56. Painter's 38.1 quarterback rating was the franchise's worst since Harbaugh in '97. |
