32

Cleveland Browns

0-13

Last week: L, 23-10, vs. CINLast rank: 32nd

This season has to end for Cleveland. It’s borderline torture at this point.31

San Francisco 49ers

1-12

Last week: L, 23-17 (OT),vs. NYJLast rank: 31st

If you can’t beat the Jets at home with an 11-point, fourth-quarter lead, it’s all over.30

Jacksonville Jaguars

2-11

Last week: L, 25-16, vs. MINLast rank: 30th

The Jaguars are a terrible team. After this campaign, the front office and coaching staff will be gutted.29

Los Angeles Rams

4-9

Last week: L, 42-14, vs. ATLLast rank: 29th

Los Angeles finally fired Jeff Fisher. Nothing else matters. Rejoice!28

Chicago Bears

3-10

Last week: L, 20-17, at DETLast rank: 28th

Matt Barkley hasn’t been terrible, but the Bears will struggle to win another game. It’s rough times for John Fox.27

New York Jets

4-9

Last week: W, 23-17 (OT), at SFLast rank: 27th

New York has to blow this thing up. The team is old and expensive, and there is not quarterback in sight.26

New Orleans Saints

5-8

Last week: L, 16-11, at TBLast rank: 25th

At some point, the team has to figure out whether it wants to move forward with Sean Payton or simply go elsewhere.25

Philadelphia Eagles

5-8

Last week: L, 27-22, vs. WSHLast rank: 24th

The Eagles started the season 3-0. Since then, they are 2-8. That’s not good.24

Carolina Panthers

5-8

Last week: W, 28-16, vs. SDLast rank: 26th

The Panthers finally decided to show up and win a game. Now, can they continue to salvage the season?23

Arizona Cardinals

After losing to the Dolphins, the competitive phase of the season is over in Arizona.22

Cincinnati Bengals

5-7-1

Last week: W, 23-10, at CLELast rank: 23rd

The Bengals are expecting to get A.J. Green back this week for their showdown with Pittsburgh. Other than that, it’s a quiet end to the season.21

San Diego Chargers

5-8

Last week: L, 28-13, at CARLast rank: 17th

We are likely watching the end of the Mike McCoy era. It’s been a middling one, at best.20

Indianapolis Colts

6-7

Last week: L, 22-17, vs. HOULast rank: 18th

After losing to Brock Osweiler and the Texans at home, Chuck Pagano should be canned and Andrew Luck questioned.19

Buffalo Bills

6-7

Last week: L, 27-20, at PITLast rank: 16th

In a game they had to win, the Bills looked lifeless and non-competitive. Time to fire Rex Ryan.18

Minnesota Vikings

7-6

Last week: W, 25-16, at JAXLast rank: 22nd

Minnesota has to be better if it wants to make the postseason. Beating the Jaguars in a tight game is not impressive.17

Houston Texans

7-6

Last week: W, 22-17, at INDLast rank: 21st

Houston got a huge win on Sunday, and now has to back that up against a hideous Jacksonville team at home.16

Tennessee Titans

7-6

Last week: W, 13-10, vs. DENLast rank: 19th

Give the young Titans credit. They toppled the defending champs and now have a real shot at winning the AFC South.15

Baltimore Ravens

7-5

Last week: L, XX-XX, at NELast rank: 9th

14

Denver Broncos

8-5

Last week: L, 13-10, at TENLast rank: 8th

The Broncos are in real trouble. Their final three games come against the Patriots, Chiefs and Raiders. Win two or face missing the playoffs.13

Washington Redskins

7-5-1

Last week: W, 27-22, at PHILast rank: 14th

Washington got a huge win over the Eagles. Now the Redskins have to take care of the Panthers on Monday night.12

Miami Dolphins

8-5

Last week: W, 26-23, vs. AZLast rank: 13th

The Dolphins have to keep winning with Matt Moore under center. It won’t be easy, but it is possible.11

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

8-5

Last week: W, 16-11, at NOLast rank: 12th

Tampa Bay is absolutely rolling. The Buccaneers have a chance to showcase their skills in primetime againsnt the Cowboys this week.10

Atlanta Falcons

8-5

Last week: W, 42-14, at LALast rank: 11th

Atlanta crushed the Rams and now comes home to throttle the 49ers. This should be 9-5 for the Falcons.9

Green Bay Packers

7-6

Last week: W, 38-10, vs. SEALast rank: 15th

Green Bay is becoming an extremely dangerous team. Aaron Rodgers is excellent and the defense is playing much better.8

Seattle Seahawks

8-4-1

Last week: L, 38-10, at GBLast rank: 5th

Seattle was hammered in Lambeau, but the Seahawks should bounce back againt the Rams, Cardinals and 49ers the rest of the way.7

New York Giants

9-4

Last week: W, 10-7, vs. DALLast rank: 10th

The Giants are playing great defense and now have a pair of wins over Dallas. New York is a contender.6

Detroit Lions

9-4

Last week: W, 20-17, vs. CHILast rank: 6th

If Matthew Stafford struggles with his injury, things could get really ugly. The schedule moving forward is insanely tough.5

Pittsburgh Steelers

8-5

Last week: W, 27-20, at BUFLast rank: 7th

The Steelers are coming on, big time. Ben Roethlisberger and Le’Veon Bell is the scariest combination in any backfield.4

Oakland Raiders

Last week: W, 21-13, at KCLast rank: 3rd

After losing to the Chiefs, the Raiders now need to win out and get help to win the West.3

Last week: W, 10-7, at NYGLast rank: 1st

The Cpwboys looked mortal on Sunday, falling again to the Giants. Can they bounce back against the Buccaneers at home?1
