0-3. Previous: . Miami Dolphins. 32. team. 59.
This could be 0-16.
31. team. 30. . 0-3. Previous: . New York Jets
The Jets are a MASH unit, and they also have no chance against a decent team.
team. 56. . 0-3. Previous: . Cincinnati Bengals. 30
The defense is still terrible. The offense is lackluster. Tough combo.
Denver Broncos. 29. team. 45. . 0-3. Previous:
Joe Flacco is playing decent football, but he’s about the only one.
28. team. 32. . 0-2-1. Previous: . Arizona Cardinals
This should have been a win against a backup if the Cardinals were even remotely respectable.
Not pretty. The Redskins will be starting Dwayne Haskins soon.
48. . 1-2. Previous: . Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 26. team
You can’t lose that game. Impossibly bad defeat.
25. team. 55. . 0-3. Previous: . Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh got five turnovers and still lost. Going to be a long year.
24. team. 28. . 1-2. Previous: . Oakland Raiders
After looking great for five quarters, the Raiders are back in action.
. 1-2. Previous: . New York Giants. 23. team. 31
Daniel Jones? Daniel Jones!
87. . 1-2. Previous: . Carolina Panthers. 22. team
Kyle Allen played really well and kept Carolina’s season alive.
Previous: . Cleveland Browns. 21. team. 53. . 1-2
Freddie Kitchens’ playcalling is horrific. Throw the ball more than a yard downfield.
1-2. Previous: . Tennessee Titans. 20. team. 35.
The Titans should seriously consider benching Marcus Mariota for Ryan Tannehill.
19. team. 52. . 1-2. Previous: . Jacksonville Jaguars
Gardner Minshew is no joke. The Jaguars have a shot in the AFC South.
1-2. Previous: . Atlanta Falcons. 18. team. 44.
The defense isn’t good enough right now, and neither is the offensive line.
13. . 1-2. Previous: . Los Angeles Chargers. 17. team
No team finds more ways to lose than the Chargers. Woof.
50. . 2-0-1. Previous: . Detroit Lions. 16. team
The Lions are undefeated and yet have been outplayed consistently. Now, the Chiefs come to town.
Seattle Seahawks. 15. team. 36. . 2-1. Previous:
Can’t lose at home — and largely be blown out — to Teddy Bridgewater.
Previous: . New Orleans Saints. 14. team. 15. . 2-1
If the Saints beat the Cowboys in the Superdome, they’re going to survive the Drew Brees injury.
10. . 2-1. Previous: . Houston Texans. 13. team
Can’t block anybody, but the Texans are 2-1 thanks to Deshaun Watson’s greatness.
1-2. Previous: . Philadelphia Eagles. 12. team. 54.
Bad loss at home against Detroit. Carson Wentz needs to elevate the talent around him.
Previous: . Indianapolis Colts. 11. team. 46. . 2-1
The Colts were buried when Andrew Luck retired. Currently, they might be the AFC South’s best.
. 2-1. Previous: . Chicago Bears. 10. team. 57
Mitch Trubisky still played pedestrian football, but the Bears will take the win and move on.
2-1. Previous: . Baltimore Ravens. 9. team. 26.
No shame in losing to Kansas City. Lamar Jackson hung tough and made it a game.
42. . 3-0. Previous: . San Francisco 49ers. 8. team
The 49ers continue rolling and now welcome in the reeling Browns on Sunday.
7. team. 16. . 3-0. Previous: . Buffalo Bills
Buffalo has beaten the Jets, Giants and Bengals. Now, the Patriots come to town. Huge matchup.
Previous: . Minnesota Vikings. 6. team. 60. . 2-1
The Vikings need more from Kirk Cousins, but the rest of the team has been terrific.
. 3-0. Previous: . Green Bay Packers. 5. team. 49
The defense, not Aaron Rodgers, is leading the way up in Lambeau.
51. . 3-0. Previous: . Los Angeles Rams. 4. team
The offense isn’t doing much, but the Rams have a case as the NFC’s best.
123. . 3-0. Previous: . Dallas Cowboys. 3. team
The Cowboys have looked awesome. Now they face their first real test with the Saints.
team. 124. . 3-0. Previous: . Kansas City Chiefs. 2
Patrick Mahomes is on pace to eclipse 6,300 passing yards. How is he better?
Previous: . New England Patriots. 1. team. 47. . 3-0
The Patriots continue rolling. At this point, it’s New England, Kansas City and nobody else.
