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.

Detroit Lions. 32. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 50. 0-8. LW: 32. player

The Lions didn’t lose this week!

Pick Analysis. 31. player. 10. Scouting Report. 1-8. LW: 31. Houston Texans

The Texans, however, did lose this week.

Pick Analysis. LW: 30. Jacksonville Jaguars. 30. player. Scouting Report. 2-6. 52

The Jaguars played the Bills, didn’t score a touchdown and won. Wild times.

Scouting Report. LW: 29. 59. player. Pick Analysis. 2-7. Miami Dolphins. 29

Miami is hilariously atrocious, but somehow found an opponent more hilariously atrocious.

Scouting Report. LW: 27. 28. 58. Pick Analysis. 2-6. Washington Football Team. player

The bye week is a wonderful thing for pitiful teams.

2-6. LW: 26. 30. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. New York Jets. 27. player

Mike White got hurt, the defense didn’t show up, and the Jets are 2-6.

Pick Analysis. 3-6. LW: 25. Chicago Bears. 26. 57. Scouting Report. player

Chicago should put out an all-points bulletin for its offense.

3-6. LW: 28. 25. player. 31. Scouting Report. New York Giants. Pick Analysis

The Giants needed a ton of turnovers and fortune, but they beat the Raiders. Nice win.

player. 54. Pick Analysis. 3-6. LW: 22. Philadelphia Eagles. 24. Scouting Report

Jalen Hurts was good and the run game was excellent, but the Eagles can’t force an incompletion.

LW: 23. Seattle Seahawks. 23. player. Scouting Report. 3-5. Pick Analysis. 36

Russell Wilson coming back? The Seahawks could be primed for a run.

Scouting Report. 4-4. LW: 24. 44. Pick Analysis. Atlanta Falcons. 22. player

That was the most Falcons game ever, except they actually won.

Pick Analysis. 21. player. 60. LW: 20. Minnesota Vikings. Scouting Report. 3-5

Mike Zimmer should be fired yesterday for allowing the offense to be coached like it’s 1972.

Scouting Report. 20. player. 87. Pick Analysis. 4-5. LW: 19. Carolina Panthers

Sam Darnold is hideous. We owe apologies to Adam Gase.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 3-5. LW: 17. San Francisco 49ers. 19. player. 42

Is Kyle Shanahan truly a good coach? Yikes.

Scouting Report. 5-4. LW: 21. Denver Broncos. player. Pick Analysis. 18. 45

Shocking win for Denver, and kudos for doing it after trading Von Miller. The Broncos came up big.

46. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 4-5. Indianapolis Colts. player. LW: 18. 17

Indy is the AFC answer to Minnesota. You have no idea what’s happening every week.

Scouting Report. 5-4. Pick Analysis. LW: 13. Cincinnati Bengals. 16. player. 56

Two weeks ago, the Bengals were the AFC’s top seed. Now they’re 10th.

15. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 5-4. Cleveland Browns. LW: 16. player. 53

Huge win for the Browns, who reestablished as a playoff threat. Now to New England.

5-3. 55. Scouting Report. LW: 15. Pittsburgh Steelers. 14. player. Pick Analysis

With Detroit next, the Steelers likely get to 6-3. But can the offense do enough to reach the postseason?

5-4. LW: 14. 13. player. 47. Pick Analysis. Scouting Report. New England Patriots

New England is hanging around behind an excellent defense, and is a half-game back in the AFC East.

Pick Analysis. 5-3. New Orleans Saints. 12. Scouting Report. LW: 10. player. 15

The Saints mounted a furious comeback against Atlanta, but fell just short.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 5-3. LW: 9. Las Vegas Raiders. 11. player. 28

If you lose to the Giants, your fall a few spots. Massive game against Kansas City next.

LW: 12. 10. player. Pick Analysis. 5-4. Kansas City Chiefs. 124. Scouting Report

The Chiefs have been so bad offensively, but suddenly quite good defensively. Like we all thought.

9. player. 13. LW: 11. Los Angeles Chargers. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 5-3

The Chargers have to fix their defense and special teams, but Justin Herbert is great.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 5-3. player. 16. LW: 7. Buffalo Bills. 8

Brutal, brutal loss for the Bills. The offensive line is a mess.

LW: 8. Baltimore Ravens. 7. 26. 6-2. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

The Ravens play every game to the wire. They’re good, but that’s eventually going to bite them.

Pick Analysis. 6. Scouting Report. LW: 3. Dallas Cowboys. player. 123. 6-2

What the hell was that?

Scouting Report. LW: 5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 5. Pick Analysis. 6-2. player. 48

The Bucs had a bye week and saw a litany of top NFC contenders lose.

LW: 2. 49. 7-2. Green Bay Packers. 4. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

Green Bay’s defense showed up, but Jordan Love looked rough in his first start.

Scouting Report. LW: 1. player. 3. 51. Pick Analysis. 7-2. Los Angeles Rams

Bizarre game, but the Rams essentially beat themselves with turnovers. Won’t happen often.

LW: 6. 7-2. Tennessee Titans. 2. player. 35. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

The Titans have knocked off Matthew Stafford, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen and Russell Wilson.

Pick Analysis. LW: 4. 1. player. 32. Scouting Report. 8-1. Arizona Cardinals

A blowout win on the road without Kyler Murray or DeAndre Hopkins? Arizona is the league’s best.
