Rnk | LW* | Team | Record | Comments |
1. | 1. | Green Bay Packers | 7-0 | Shula, Buoniconti, Griese, Anderson and company may not be able to uncork the champagne if they don't lose to the Lions on Thanksgiving. If the'72 Dolphins celebrating the last undefeated losing with champagne wasn't an urban legend. |
2. | 3. | San Francisco 49ers | 6-1 | Gore topped 125 yards rushing and scored a TD for the 4th straight week. My streaking fantasy team thanks him. |
3. | 5. | Baltimore Ravens | 5-2 | Comeback from 21 point deficit was the biggest in franchise history. |
4. | 6. | Pittsburgh Steelers | 6-2 | LeBeau finally adapted to Brady spreading the field by playing more press coverage and matching up Taylor against slot receiver Welker. |
5. | 2. | New England Patriots | 5-2 | Secondary is in shambles. |
6. | 7. | New York Giants | 5-2 | Jacobs isn't making much of a case on the field that he deserves additional carries despite his lobbying efforts through the media. |
7. | 8. | Buffalo Bills | 5-2 | Finally won in Toronto on their 4th try. |
8. | 10. | Detriot Lions | 6-2 | Ended their 2 game losing streak with a vengeance in Denver. |
9. | 9. | Atlanta Falcons | 4-3 | Better not take the Colts lightly like the Giants did the Dolphins or the Ravens did the Cardinals after their byes. |
10. | 4. | New Orleans Saints | 5-3 | Held scoreless in the 1st half for the 1st time since 2007. |
11. | 11. | New York Jets | 4-3 | A mercifully quiet week for Gang Green in Jersey except for the surprise Fall snow storm. |
12. | 13. | Cincinnati Bengals | 5-2 | Already won more games than all of last season as Lewis became the franchise leader in coaching wins. |
13. | 14. | Houston Texans | 5-3 | Foster already holds the franchise record for 100 yard rushing games with 12. |
14. | 19. | Philadelphia Eagles | 3-4 | Reid remained undefeated after the bye. |
15. | 15. | Chicago Bears | 4-3 | Forte leads all non-quarterbacks in yards from scrimmage. |
16. | 23. | Kansas City Chiefs | 4-3 | Tenacious Haley has instilled mental toughness, something Turner has never accomplished. |
17. | 17. | Oakland Raiders | 4-3 | The Palmer era begins in earnest. Jackson�s job depends on his success. |
18. | 18. | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 4-3 | Undefeated when rushing for over 100 yards, winless when not. |
19. | 12. | San Diego Chargers | 4-3 | What's wrong with Laserface? He has clearly taken a step backwards especially when compared to Super Bowl winning draft classmates Big Ben and Eli. |
20. | 20. | Tennessee Titans | 4-3 | Ringer nearly doubled Johnson's yardage total in the same number of carries. |
21. | 16. | Dallas Cowboys | 3-4 | The Ryan brothers need to shut up. |
22. | 27. | Minnesota Vikings | 2-6 | Season sack leader Allen has gotten to the QB in 10 straight games. |
23. | 21. | Carolina Panthers | 2-6 | Newton's 2393 passing yards trails only Breesus. |
24. | 22. | Cleveland Browns | 3-4 | Had no running game with Hillis inactive and Hardesty being forced to the sidelines in the 1st quarter after 2 carries. |
25. | 24. | Washington Redskins | 3-4 | Shanahan was shut out for the 1st time in his head coaching career. |
26. | 25. | Jacksonville Jaguars | 2-6 | Rank dead last in total offense and scoring. |
27. | 30. | St. Louis Rams | 1-6 | Jackson's 28th career 100 yard rushing game passed Faulk for 2nd in franchise history, 10 behind Dickerson. |
28. | 26. | Denver Broncos | 2-5 | Should Tebow be judged after a pair of starts? Probably not. Does he look like he has NFL QB skills? No, not at all. |
29. | 28. | Seattle Seahawks | 2-5 | Unlikely to get Luck(y). Barkley, Jones or Griffin would be a nice consolation prize. |
30. | 29. | Arizona Cardinals | 1-6 | Lost 4 of their 6 straight by 4 points or fewer. |
31. | 31. | Miami Dolphins | 0-7 | Still playing hard for Sparano, not that it matters. |
32. | 32. | Indianapolis Colts | 0-8 | Angerer's large league lead in tackles is based in part on the offenses failure to stay on the field. |
