2. Seattle Seahawks (2-1)When next Monday rolls around, Seattle will have had 15 days to rest and prepare for Washington. Jay Gruden might want to call this one at halftime. (Photo by Jeff Gross/Getty Images)

3. Arizona Cardinals (3-0)WeÕre going to find out a whole lot about the Cardinals this Sunday in Denver. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)

4. Denver Broncos (2-1)The Broncos havenÕt lost two straight games since Weeks 2-3 of PeytonÕs first year in Denver. Since then, the Broncos are 29-7. (Photo by Jeff Gross/Getty Images)

5. San Diego Chargers (3-1)In his last three games, all wins, Philip Rivers has thrown for 917 yards, eight touchdowns and zero interceptions. (Photo by Donald Miralle/Getty Images)

6. Baltimore Ravens (3-1)ThatÕs three straight wins for the Ravens, who have the second-best scoring defense (15.0 points per game) in the league. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)

7. Detroit Lions (3-1)Detroit is seventh in total defense and fourth in scoring defense. Anybody see that coming? (Photo by Jeff Zelevansky/Getty Images)

8. Philadelphia Eagles (3-1)The Eagles scored 21 points on Sunday, and the offense scored none of them. ItÕs hard to believe, but Chip Kelly got shut out. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)

9. Dallas Cowboys (3-1)Forget 8-8. This team looks like the NFC East favorite Ð as long as it keeps giving DeMarco Murray the rock. (Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty Images)Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray. (Tom Pennington/Getty Images)

10. Green Bay Packers (2-2)Congratulations to Aaron Rodgers. No one has reached 25,000 passing yards on fewer attempts. You know heÕs going to Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb, and you still canÕt stop it. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)

11. San Francisco 49ers (2-2)The defense played lights-out, and the offense scored in the second half. Feels just like old times. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)

12. Houston Texans (3-1)J.J. WattÕs 80-yard pick-six was the difference against Buffalo. ThatÕs why he makes the big bucks. (Photo by Scott Halleran/Getty Images)

13. Chicago Bears (2-2)The Bears had a great opportunity to put Green Bay in a 1-3 bind. Instead, they didnÕt score after halftime and lost by three touchdowns. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)

14. Indianapolis Colts (2-2)Andrew Luck has thrown for 370+ yards in three of four games this year, and the Colts are finally playing like the AFC South favorites. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)

15. Kansas City Chiefs (2-2)The Chiefs have won two straight after a seven-point loss in Denver. This team is definitely trending upward. (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images)

16. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2)No bigger egg was laid in Week 4. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)

17. Carolina Panthers (2-2)The Panthers have been embarrassed by the AFC North (Pittsburgh and Baltimore) each of the last two weeks, losing by a combined 75-29. Needless to say, the defense isnÕt packing as much punch as it was a season ago. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)

18. New England Patriots (2-2)The Patriots trailed 27-0 before finally getting on the board on MNF. That was arguably the most embarrassing loss of the Belichick era. (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images)

19. Buffalo Bills (2-2)Two straight losses, but Buffalo is allowing just 18.8 points per game Ð eighth-best in the NFL. The Bills will be in a lot of games this year. (Photo by Scott Halleran/Getty Images)

20. Atlanta Falcons (2-2)The Falcons have averaged 46.5 points in their two wins and 19 points in their two losses. The consistency needs to catch up with the talent. (Photo by Adam Bettcher/Getty Images)

21. New York Giants (2-2)Larry Donnell looks like this yearÕs version of Julius Thomas. More importantly, Eli Manning (seven touchdowns, one interception in his last two games) looks as good as heÕs looked in a long, long time. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)

22. Cleveland Browns (1-2)As competitive as the Browns have been, they could reel off four or five straight wins, especially with that schedule (Tennessee, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville, Oakland and Tampa Bay). (Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images)

23. Miami Dolphins (2-2)Bounce-back game for Ryan Tannehill and the Dolphins. Note to Bill Lazor: Keep feeding LaMar Miller. (Photo by Richard Heathcote/Getty Images)

24. New Orleans Saints (1-3)The Saints are 0-3 on the road and have allowed an average of 33.7 points in those three losses. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)

25. Minnesota Vikings (2-2)Matt Asiata and Jerrick McKinnon ran all over Atlanta, and Teddy Bridgewater Ð even with a sprained ankle Ð should give Minnesota plenty of hope going forward. (Photo by Adam Bettcher/Getty Images)

26. New York Jets (1-3)The Jets can play defense about as well as anyone, but if you canÕt score 20 points a game, itÕs not going to matter. Geno Smith simply isnÕt getting it done consistently enough through the air. (Photo by Ron Antonelli/Getty Images)

27. Washington Redskins (1-3)Washington has allowed 82 points in its last two games, both losses to NFC East rivals. Up next? Seattle on Monday Night Football. Oh boy. (Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images)

28. Tennessee Titans (1-3)The Titans played Charlie Whitehurst and Zach Mettenberger on Sunday. ThatÕs pretty much all you need to know.(Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images)

29. St. Louis Rams (1-2)HereÕs hoping the Rams made good use of that bye week. TheyÕre about to face the cream of the NFC crop (Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seattle). (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images)

30. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-3)Big props to Mike Glennon for leading the comeback in Pittsburgh. ThereÕs the signature win Lovie Smith was looking for. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)

31. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-4)Not a great debut for Blake Bortles, but not awful either. Hey, Rome wasnÕt built in a day. (Photo by Donald Miralle/Getty Images)

32. Oakland Raiders (0-4)The Raiders scored the first touchdown and the last touchdown against Miami on Sunday. Unfortunately, they allowed 38 points in between. (Photo by Ben Hoskins/Getty Images)
