Ditto for the Bengals.
This is not going to be a fun last half of the season.
1-7. Previous: . Atlanta Falcons. 29. team. 44.
Dan Quinn should have been fired a month ago.

The Jets were supposed to be playoff hopefuls, but they’re truly rancid.
team. 31. . 2-6. Previous: . New York Giants. 27
New York is somehow buying at the trade deadline. What?
45. . 2-6. Previous: . Denver Broncos. 26. team
When Joe Flacco is calling the offensive coordinator conservative… WOW.

The Cardinals played a real team on Sunday and got waxed.
Chicago Bears. 22. team. 57. . 3-4. Previous:
If the Mitch Trubisky experience doesn’t end after this season, everyone should be fired.

The Chargers lost in spirit against Chicago, but found a win against a total mess.
20. team. 55. . 2-4. Previous: . Pittsburgh Steelers

Previous: . Buffalo Bills. 14. team. 16. . 5-2
The Bills aren’t going anywhere until the offense steps up.
Philadelphia Eagles. 13. team. 54. . 4-4. Previous:
Philadelphia is about to get healthier, and that’s a problem for the Cowboys.
51. . 5-3. Previous: . Los Angeles Rams. 12. team
Beating the Falcons and Bengals doesn’t tell us much, but it’s a start.
11. team. 10. . 5-3. Previous: . Houston Texans

Baltimore Ravens. 10. team. 26. . 5-2. Previous:
Huge test on Sunday night with the Patriots coming to town.
Previous: . Dallas Cowboys. 9. team. 123. . 4-3
The Cowboys have to find consistently coming out of their bye week.
124. . 5-3. Previous: . Kansas City Chiefs. 8. team
The Chiefs basically played half their team and almost beat Green Bay. Oddly impressive in defeat.
Previous: . Indianapolis Colts. 7. team. 46. . 5-2
Can’t let Denver hang around like that. Still, the Colts made the plays and escaped.
team. 36. . 6-2. Previous: . Seattle Seahawks. 6
Seattle got right against the Falcons.
60. . 6-2. Previous: . Minnesota Vikings. 5. team
Minnesota has ridiculous playmakers. Kirk Cousins is also looking like he’s turned the corner.

The 49ers are for real. What a killing of Carolina.
. 7-1. Previous: . New Orleans Saints. 3. team. 15
Arguably the best team in football. So impressive all across the board.
team. 49. . 7-1. Previous: . Green Bay Packers. 2
The Packers found a way to beat Matt Moore. Not a huge endorsement. Then again, Aaron Rodgers. My God.
New England Patriots. 1. team. 47. . 8-0. Previous:
Undefeated, but playing absolutely nobody.
