Rnk | LW* | Team | Record | Comments |
1. | 1. | Green Bay Packers | 9-0 | Current 11 game winning streak is the longest in the storied franchise's history. |
2. | 2. | San Francisco 49ers | 8-1 | Yet to allow a rushing TD this season. |
3. | 7. | New Orleans Saints | 7-3 | Breesus has completed at least 20 passes in 30 straight games. |
4. | 3. | Baltimore Ravens | 6-3 | The week after playing the Steelers is their kryptonite. |
5. | 5. | Pittsburgh Steelers | 7-3 | Won 13 of their last 14 games against rookie QBs. |
6. | 6. | New England Patriots | 6-3 | Belichick/Brady passed Shula/Marino to become the winningest coach/QB combination in history. |
7. | 4. | New York Giants | 6-3 | No real shame in Manning's patented comeback coming up short in San Francisco. |
8. | 12. | Houston Texans | 7-3 | Can potent running game help them overcome devastating Schaub injury? Probably in the regular season, not in the playoffs. |
9. | 14. | Chicago Bears | 6-3 | Should be forced to immediately forfeit whenever they put on the orange jerseys. |
10. | 9. | Atlanta Falcons | 5-4 | Failed on 4th and inches from their own 29 in OT. What was Smith thinking? |
11. | 8. | Detriot Lions | 6-3 | Wheels fell off in Chicago; 1-3 after undefeated start. |
12. | 11. | Cincinnati Bengals | 6-3 | Youngster Dalton taught a tough lesson by septuagenarian LeBeau. Loss of Hall for the season may be a tougher blow than loss to Steelers. |
13. | 15. | Dallas Cowboys | 5-4 | Scored TDs on their first 4 possessions while cruising to victory. Remaining schedule is soft, although they have a habit of playing down to the competition. |
14. | 18. | Oakland Raiders | 5-4 | Got back on track rushing for 191 yards without McFadden. |
15. | 10. | New York Jets | 5-4 | QBs of the draft class of 2009 including Sanchez, Stafford and Freeman all seem to be regressing. |
16. | 21. | Tennessee Titans | 5-4 | Johnson is alive! |
17. | 13. | Buffalo Bills | 5-4 | The balloon has burst. At least Nelson got to profess his love after getting into the end zone. |
18. | 24. | Denver Broncos | 4-5 | Tebow! Winning ugly completing no passes in the first half and 2 for the entire game. |
19. | 16. | Philadelphia Eagles | 3-6 | Blew a fourth quarter lead for the fifth time. Jackson was inactive for sulking and missing a meeting. Vick's status for next week is uncertain after breaking a pair of ribs. Hard to envision Reid surviving this debacle. |
20. | 19. | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 4-5 | Freeman threw 3 more interceptions. |
21. | 17. | Kansas City Chiefs | 4-5 | Haley back on the hot seat. |
22. | 20. | San Diego Chargers | 4-5 | Lost the season series to the Raiders for a second straight year giving up a whopping 442 rushing yards in the 2 matchups. |
23. | 26. | Jacksonville Jaguars | 3-6 | Jones-Drew joined Taylor as the only backs in franchise history with 6000 rushing yards. |
24. | 22. | Minnesota Vikings | 2-7 | Luckily for the viewing public Monday night was their last scheduled prime time game of the season. |
25. | 28. | Miami Dolphins | 2-7 | Got their first win at home in 364 days. That's 1 day short of a year, I checked. |
26. | 29. | Arizona Cardinals | 3-6 | Facing 4th and 2 with just over 2 minutes remaining, down 3 with Skelton looking beyond horrible having just thrown a pick to go down a field goal. Then he pulled a pair of completions out of his ass on incredible catches by Pitt grads Stephens-Howling and Fitzgerald. After Beanie was stuffed twice from the 1 losing 3 yards Skelton found Doucet for a TD. Skelton threw for 166 yards in the fourth quarter and has now won 2 straight. |
27. | 30. | Seattle Seahawks | 3-6 | Workhorse Lynch gained 109 yards on 32 carries, the best of which came on the final drive to ice the game when he froze Lewis and then faked him out of his jock strap. |
28. | 31. | St. Louis Rams | 2-7 | Ogbonnaya gained a career high 90 yards rushing in defeat and his 32 yard run was the team's longest of the season. |
29. | 23. | Carolina Panthers | 2-7 | Has Newton hit the rookie wall? |
30. | 25. | Washington Redskins | 3-6 | Return of the Sex Cannon was not the answer. Neither was Beck. Shanahan is in the midst of the first 5 game losing streak of his career for a reason. |
31. | 27. | Cleveland Browns | 3-6 | Dawson missed a chip shot game winner when his timing was thrown off because the snap hit the guard�s leg. |
32. | 32. | Indianapolis Colts | 0-10 | Luck is theirs if they want him. No way they win 2 games. |
