The balance of power has shifted in the NFC West, with the Los Angeles Rams moving ahead of the Seattle Seahawks following a wild Week 9.

32

Cleveland Browns 0-8

Last week: BYE
Last rank: 32nd

It’s shocking the Browns didn’t lose to their bye week.
31

San Francisco 49ers 0-9

Last week: L, 20-10 vs. AZ
Last rank: 31st

If the 49ers don’t beat the Giants, they may not win a game this season.
30

New York Giants 1-7

Last week: L, 51-17 vs. LAR
Last rank: 29th

If the Giants don’t beat the 49ers, they may not win another game this season.
29

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2-6

Last week: L, 30-10 at NO
Last rank: 27th

How a team with this much talent stinks this bad is beyond me. Not a great look for Dirk Koetter.
28

Indianapolis Colts 3-6

Last week: W, 20-14 at HOU
Last rank: 30th

Any time you can play Tom Savage, you have to feel good.
27

Cincinnati Bengals 3-5

Last week: L, 23-7 at JAX
Last rank: 22nd

The Bengals need to clean house, like yesterday.
26

Chicago Bears 3-5

Last week: BYE
Last rank: 26th

The last eight games of the Bears’ season is about Mitchell Trubisky.
25

New York Jets 4-5

Last week: W, 34-21 vs. BUF
Last rank: 28th

The Jets continue to show up every week, perhaps earning Todd Bowles a contract extension.
24

Green Bay Packers 4-4

Last week: L, 30-17 vs. DET
Last rank: 23rd

Without Aaron Rodgers, the Packers are clearly one of the worst teams in the league.
23

Denver Broncos 3-5

Last week: L, 51-23 at PHI
Last rank: 20th

The Broncos appeared to quit on Sunday, which means a long second half of the season is in store.
22

Miami Dolphins 4-4

Last week: L, 27-24 vs. OAK
Last rank: 21st

The Dolphins are average defensively, but the offense is a horror show.
21

Houston Texans 3-4

Last week: L, 20-14 vs. IND
Last rank: 13th

The Texans have no shot without Deshaun Watson. Such a shame.
20

Baltimore Ravens 4-5

Last week: L, 23-20 at TEN
Last rank: 18th

Can anybody find the offense? Pathetic effort in Nashville.
19

Arizona Cardinals 4-4

Last week: W, 20-10 at SF
Last rank: 25th

The Cardinals are somehow a win on Thursday night from second place in the NFC West.
18

Oakland Raiders 4-5

Last week: W, 27-24 at MIA
Last rank: 24th

The Raiders are hanging around in the AFC wild card race.
17

Los Angeles Chargers 3-5

Last week: BYE
Last rank: 19th

The Chargers still have playoff hopes in the AFC, but the run must start now.
16

Buffalo Bills 5-3

Last week: L, 34-21 at NYJ
Last rank: 12th

Just when you start to believe in Buffalo, that happens.
15

Detroit Lions 4-4

Last week: W, 30-17 at GB
Last rank: 17th

With Cleveland coming to town, the Lions have a chance to get fat.
14

Tennessee Titans 5-3

Last week: W, 23-20 at BAL
Last rank: 15th

The Titans aren’t impressive, but they continue to win ugly.
13

Washington Redskins 4-4

Last week: W, 17-14 at SEA
Last rank: 16th

Washington saved its season with a gutsy win in Seattle. Now, the Vikings.
12

Jacksonville Jaguars 4-3

Last week: W, 23-7 vs. CIN
Last rank: 14th

Jacksonville crushed the Bengals. Maybe this is a dangerous team come January.
11

Atlanta Falcons 4-4

Last week: L, 20-17 at CAR
Last rank: 9th

Atlanta can’t figure anything out offensively. With Dallas coming to town, it’s now or never.
10

Carolina Panthers 6-3

Last week: W, 20-17 vs. ATL
Last rank: 11th

Carolina isn’t fun to watch, but 6-3 is 6-3. Looks like the postseason is coming to Charlotte.
9

Seattle Seahawks 5-3

Last week: L, 17-14 vs. WSH
Last rank: 5th

Seattle has some real issues to address. The offense and defense take turns looking terrible.
8

Dallas Cowboys 5-3

Last week: W, 28-17 vs. KC
Last rank: 10th

Dallas is starting to get very hot. This was an impressive win in all phases.
7

New Orleans Saints 6-2

Last week: W, 30-10 vs. TB
Last rank: 8th

The Saints are for real. A win in Buffalo on Sunday would only further that notion.
6

Minnesota Vikings 6-2

Last week: BYE
Last rank: 7th

If Teddy Bridgewater comes back, the Vikings are legit Super Bowl contenders.
5

Kansas City Chiefs 6-3

Last week: L, 28-17 at DAL
Last rank: 4th

The Chiefs are getting their bye at the right time. Now they go from the hardest schedule in football to the easiest.
4

Los Angeles Rams 6-2

Last week: W, 51-17 at NYG
Last rank: 6th

The Rams are not going away. Jared Goff and Sean McVay are the power couple of 2017.
3

Pittsburgh Steelers 6-2

Last week: BYE
Last rank: 3rd

Pittsburgh has a very easy schedule the rest of the way. Now, it’s about the top seed.
2

New England Patriots 6-2

Last week: BYE
Last rank: 2nd

With the Bills losing, the Patriots can start printing the AFC East banner.
1

Philadelphia Eagles 8-1

Last week: W, 51-23 vs. DEN
Last rank: 1st

The Eagles are the best team in football. Scoring 51 points on Denver is insane.
