On Sunday, the Tennessee Titans staked their claim as the AFC’s best, while the Cincinnati Bengals continued their tumble down the NFL power rankings.
32
Detroit Lions
0-8 LW: 32
The Lions didn’t lose this week!
31
Houston Texans
1-8 LW: 31
The Texans, however, did lose this week.
30
Jacksonville Jaguars
2-6 LW: 30
The Jaguars played the Bills, didn’t score a touchdown and won. Wild times.
29
Miami Dolphins
2-7 LW: 29
Miami is hilariously atrocious, but somehow found an opponent more hilariously atrocious.
28
Washington Football Team
2-6 LW: 27
The bye week is a wonderful thing for pitiful teams.
27
New York Jets
2-6 LW: 26
Mike White got hurt, the defense didn’t show up, and the Jets are 2-6.
26
Chicago Bears
3-6 LW: 25
Chicago should put out an all-points bulletin for its offense.
25
New York Giants
3-6 LW: 28
The Giants needed a ton of turnovers and fortune, but they beat the Raiders. Nice win.
24
Philadelphia Eagles
3-6 LW: 22
Jalen Hurts was good and the run game was excellent, but the Eagles can’t force an incompletion.
23
Seattle Seahawks
3-5 LW: 23
Russell Wilson coming back? The Seahawks could be primed for a run.
22
Atlanta Falcons
4-4 LW: 24
That was the most Falcons game ever, except they actually won.
21
Minnesota Vikings
3-5 LW: 20
Mike Zimmer should be fired yesterday for allowing the offense to be coached like it’s 1972.
20
Carolina Panthers
4-5 LW: 19
Sam Darnold is hideous. We owe apologies to Adam Gase.
19
San Francisco 49ers
3-5 LW: 17
Is Kyle Shanahan truly a good coach? Yikes.
18
Denver Broncos
5-4 LW: 21
Shocking win for Denver, and kudos for doing it after trading Von Miller. The Broncos came up big.
17
Indianapolis Colts
4-5 LW: 18
Indy is the AFC answer to Minnesota. You have no idea what’s happening every week.
16
Cincinnati Bengals
5-4 LW: 13
Two weeks ago, the Bengals were the AFC’s top seed. Now they’re 10th.
15
Cleveland Browns
5-4 LW: 16
Huge win for the Browns, who reestablished as a playoff threat. Now to New England.
14
Pittsburgh Steelers
5-3 LW: 15
With Detroit next, the Steelers likely get to 6-3. But can the offense do enough to reach the postseason?
13
New England Patriots
5-4 LW: 14
New England is hanging around behind an excellent defense, and is a half-game back in the AFC East.
12
New Orleans Saints
5-3 LW: 10
The Saints mounted a furious comeback against Atlanta, but fell just short.
11
Las Vegas Raiders
5-3 LW: 9
If you lose to the Giants, your fall a few spots. Massive game against Kansas City next.
10
Kansas City Chiefs
5-4 LW: 12
The Chiefs have been so bad offensively, but suddenly quite good defensively. Like we all thought.
9
Los Angeles Chargers
5-3 LW: 11
The Chargers have to fix their defense and special teams, but Justin Herbert is great.
8
Buffalo Bills
5-3 LW: 7
Brutal, brutal loss for the Bills. The offensive line is a mess.
7
Baltimore Ravens
6-2 LW: 8
The Ravens play every game to the wire. They’re good, but that’s eventually going to bite them.
6
Dallas Cowboys
6-2 LW: 3
What the hell was that?
5
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
6-2 LW: 5
The Bucs had a bye week and saw a litany of top NFC contenders lose.
4
Green Bay Packers
7-2 LW: 2
Green Bay’s defense showed up, but Jordan Love looked rough in his first start.
3
Los Angeles Rams
7-2 LW: 1
Bizarre game, but the Rams essentially beat themselves with turnovers. Won’t happen often.
2
Tennessee Titans
7-2 LW: 6
The Titans have knocked off Matthew Stafford, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen and Russell Wilson.
1
Arizona Cardinals
8-1 LW: 4
A blowout win on the road without Kyler Murray or DeAndre Hopkins? Arizona is the league’s best.
