6. Minnesota Vikings (5-1)

While the Vikings yet lost, they enactment up a bully combat against 1 of the league’s champion teams. They showed a ton of grit aft entering the 4th fourth against the Lions down by double-digits.

A walk-off tract extremity was needed for the Packers to instrumentality down the Texans, handing them their 2nd nonaccomplishment of the season. The AFC South, though, is inactive successful the Texans’ hands aft they went into a pugnacious Lambeau Field environment, without 1 of their cardinal violative weapons successful Nico Collins, and fought until the end. It is worthy noting that C.J. Stroud was held nether 100 yards passing contempt putting up 22 points.

9. Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2)

Mike Tomlin’s determination to seat Justin Fields aft a 4-2 commencement and commencement Russell Wilson was wide criticized. Wilson proved his manager right, starring the Steelers to triumph implicit the Jets. Wilson added a antithetic constituent to the discourtesy that Fields hadn’t brought, and the discourtesy clicked, scoring 31 unanswered points to adjacent retired the game. Beanie Bishop Jr. intercepted Aaron Rodgers twice, and the Steelers' defence held beardown against the Jets.

10. Philadelphia Eagles (4-2)

The defence is playing lights retired but is overshadowed by moving backmost Saquon Barkley entering the MVP race.

12. Chicago Bears (4-2)

The Bears had their bye week up of a large showdown against Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders. But if Daniels can’t play owed his injury, it opens the doorway for Chicago, which has benefited from its docket already. We mightiness not cognize what this squad is made of until it plays the 3 different NFC North teams successful consecutive weeks adjacent month.

13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-3)

Early on, things looked promising for the Buccaneers during their Monday nighttime crippled against the Baltimore Ravens. But the crippled rapidly took a melodramatic turn. Star wide receiver Mike Evans dropped a would-be touchdown walk earlier exiting the crippled with a hamstring injury.

Baker Mayfield seemed to beryllium unsettled the remainder of the nighttime without his apical receiver. Meanwhile, Derek Henry sprinted 81 yards to acceptable up a Ravens score, and Baltimore did not look back. Tampa Bay besides mislaid Chris Godwin with little than a infinitesimal remaining successful the game. The Buccaneers volition person to regroup connected a abbreviated week. The victor of Sunday’s Buccaneers-Falcons crippled volition instrumentality power of the NFC South division.

14. Seattle Seahawks (4-3)

This was a much-needed rebound by Seattle, which had mislaid 3 straight. Atlanta had been connected the rise, and the Seahawks were the overmuch amended squad from commencement to finish. They'll person different morganatic trial erstwhile the Bills sojourn this weekend.

After winning 3 consecutive games, Falcons manager Raheem Morris said the squad "came retired level … for immoderate reason" successful its crippled against the Seahawks.

17. Cincinnati Bengals (3-4)

Don’t fto the Bengals get hot. They won 2 successful a enactment to get to 3-4 aft a dismal 1-4 start. Joe Burrow is starting to click with Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and the discourtesy is starting to get going again. The Bengals' defence held the Browns successful check, allowing conscionable 14 points successful the win. The Bengals tin get backmost to .500 with a triumph implicit the Eagles adjacent week.

18. Denver Broncos (4-3)

Denver is starting to look similar a franchise taking sizable steps retired of the basement of the league nether Sean Payton. It wasn't going to travel each astatine once, but wins similar the 1 they notched against New Orleans, anchored by a beardown defense, are indicative of a squad that could beryllium superior again soon.

19. Indianapolis Colts (4-3)

The Colts were capable to grip the lowly Dolphins, though the instrumentality of Anthony Richardson astatine backmost didn’t nutrient the violative output Joe Flacco has been providing since taking implicit for the injured second-year signal-caller. Richardson did pb the Colts successful rushing, portion Tyler Goodson scored the lone touchdown connected discourtesy for Indy with 51 yards connected 14 carries. But Richardson’s struggles successful the walk crippled (10-for-24, 129 yards) stay an contented for caput manager Shane Steichen, who needs to spot much improvement considering the Colts are successful the playoff hunt.

20. Arizona Cardinals (3-4)

This is inactive a beauteous inconsistent team, but we won't punish it for taking attraction of business. It was a scrappy two-point triumph successful a low-scoring game, but the docket got a spot tougher aft their adjacent opponent, the Dolphins, announced Tua Tagovailoa is apt to play Sunday.

21. Los Angeles Chargers (3-3)

The Chargers can't shingle the choker label, not adjacent with Jim Harbaugh. Their latest late-game catastrophe against the Cardinals went a agelong mode successful bolstering that reputation.

23. New Orleans Saints (2-5)

Running backmost Alvin Kamara admitted fans were "fed up" aft galore booed earlier leaving the Superdome good earlier the blowout nonaccomplishment to the Denver Broncos came to an end. Veteran backmost Derek Carr could instrumentality to the starting lineup arsenic aboriginal arsenic this Sunday for a crippled against the Los Angeles Chargers. Whenever Carr is afloat recovered from his oblique injury, helium should springiness New Orleans a boost. But the Saints inactive person a big of different issues to close if this squad wants to crook its play around.

24. New York Jets (2-5)

Aaron Rodgers is getting a batch of blasted for New York’s atrocious start, but coaching, receiver play and a defence not being arsenic beardown arsenic it should person contributed.

25. Miami Dolphins (2-4)

Tua Tagovailoa is returning, but it feels similar the play is already a mislaid 1 successful Miami. The yo-yo of Tua’s availability cannot beryllium a semipermanent strategy of occurrence for the Dolphins.

26. New York Giants (2-5)

The 2 decisions that defined the offseason — not replacing QB Daniel Jones and letting RB Saquon Barkley spell — are looking unsmooth close now.

27. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-5)

They dominated a struggling Patriots squad, particularly connected the ground, wherever Tank Bigsby rushed for implicit 100 yards with 2 touchdowns successful his commencement for the injured Travis Etienne Jr. Trevor Lawrence besides looked much efficient, going 15-for-20 done the aerial for 193 yards with a touchdown to trusted rookie Brian Thomas Jr.

28. Las Vegas Raiders (2-5)

Rudolph threw 40 times due to the fact that of the deficit, completing 25 of them for 215 yards with a touchdown and an interception. But this squad can’t look to find momentum arsenic it moved to 1-5, digging itself successful the AFC playoff picture.

30. Cleveland Browns (1-6)

It’s stone bottommost successful Cleveland close now. The Yankees eliminated the Guardians successful the ALCS, Deshaun Watson ruptured his Achilles and it feels similar the occurrence merchantability has begun for the Browns aft they traded Amari Cooper. Expect much players to get traded retired of Cleveland implicit the adjacent fewer weeks arsenic they look toward the future.

31. New England Patriots (1-6)

It seems similar a contention betwixt Jerod Mayo and Jacksonville’s Doug Pederson for the adjacent manager to beryllium fired, and Mayo mightiness triumph (lose?) that.

32. Carolina Panthers (1-5)

When the Panthers made the power from Bryce Young to Andy Dalton, the squad appeared to beryllium betting connected the seasoned quarterback’s acquisition and hoped helium could assistance them astatine slightest beryllium competitory for astir games. But Carolina’s latest nonaccomplishment proved to beryllium thing but competitive. At 1 constituent during the blowout nonaccomplishment to the Washington Commanders, the Panthers were down 37-0. 

Surprisingly, the coaches did not propulsion Dalton astatine that point. The determination suggested the unit is not funny successful going backmost to Young this season. Young did yet spot immoderate action, albeit limited. He finished the crippled with 2 walk attempts for -4 yards.
