The Bengals have trailed just once all season Ð and for less than a minute Ð and have yet to allow a sack. IÕm still waiting for them to prove it in the postseason, but so far theyÕve been the NFLÕs best. (Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images)
2. Seattle Seahawks (2-1)
They may still be the best team in the league, but right now, today, theyÕre a little more vulnerable than they were last year. (Photo by Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images)
3. Philadelphia Eagles (3-0)
DeSean Jackson had his moments, but Philly had the last laugh. Now about LeSean McCoyÕs head injury... (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)
4. Arizona Cardinals (3-0)
Aggressive offense, hard-nosed defense. This team looks for real. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)
5. Denver Broncos (2-1)
The offense was far from flawless, but the defense has to at least give Peyton Manning a shot in overtime. (Photo by Steve Dykes/Getty Images)
6. Chicago Bears (2-1)
The Bears have won back-to-back games on the road, and Jay Cutler (six touchdowns, zero interceptions) is a big reason why. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)
7. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-1)
The Steelers didnÕt just beat the Panthers on Sunday night; they dominated them. LeÕVeon Bell and LeGarrette Blount are quickly becoming the best 1-2 rushing duo in the NFL. (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)
8. Carolina Panthers (2-1)
WhenÕs the last time you saw CarolinaÕs front seven (264 rushing yards allowed) dominated like that? (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)
9. New England Patriots (2-1)
ThereÕs no excuse for the Patriots to only be up 10-9 against the Raiders in the fourth quarter at home. Sorry. There just isnÕt. (Photo by Darren McCollester/Getty Images)
10. San Diego Chargers (2-1)
The Chargers have responded about as well as possible to that season-opening meltdown in Arizona. Check out the schedule. San Diego could very easily be 6-1 heading into Denver on Oct. 23. (Photo by Tom Szczerbowski/Getty Images)
11. Baltimore Ravens (2-1)
The Ravens opened with three games against division rivals in the span of 14 days and won two of them. TheyÕll take it. (Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images)
13. San Francisco 49ers (1-2)
The 49ers have scored three second-half points all season. Think about that. (Photo by Norm Hall/Getty Images)
14. Green Bay Packers (1-2)
Eddie Lacy has broken 40 rushing yards just once through three games Ð and weÕre still waiting on 50. At some point, someoneÕs got to generate offense between the tackles. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)
15. Buffalo Bills (2-1)
The offense looked out of sync against San Diego, and it showed on the scoreboard. Ten points at home is a bit of a head-scratcher. (Photo by Tom Szczerbowski/Getty Images)
16. Atlanta Falcons (2-1)
Congratulations to Devin Hester, who now owns one of the most impressive records in league history. (Photo by Scott Cunningham/Getty Images)
17. New Orleans Saints (1-2)
The Saints are finally in the win column, but they led the Peterson-less Vikings just 13-9 in the fourth quarter. Hmm... (Photo by Sean Gardner/Getty Images)
18. Dallas Cowboys (2-1)
The Cowboys matched their biggest comeback win in team history on Sunday. Even more impressive? They did it on the road in St. Louis. Call me crazy, but Romo/Bryant/Murray resembles a poor manÕs version of Aikman/Irvin/Smith. Who knows? Maybe thatÕs good enough for 9-7. (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images)
19. Indianapolis Colts (1-2)
In a must-win game, the Colts led 30-0 at halftime. Andrew Luck has thrown for 370 yards in back-to-back weeks. (Photo by Rob Foldy/Getty Images)
20. Houston Texans (2-1)
If Houston plays with a lead, it can win. If Houston plays from behind, Ryan Fitzpatrick (three interceptions) is going to get exposed. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)
21. New York Jets (1-2)
When you throw a pick-six in the first minute of the game and have to settle for field goals on four of your five scoring drives, itÕs usually not a good night. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)
22. Washington Redskins (1-2)
Kirk Cousins (427 yards, three touchdowns) did all he could against the Eagles. The defense has to be better. (Photo by Rich Schultz /Getty Images)
23. Cleveland Browns (1-2)
Three games, all decided by field goals in the final seconds. No, Johnny Manziel will not be starting after the bye. (Photo by Jason Miller/Getty Images)
24. Kansas City Chiefs (1-2)
Nothing like a road win to stop the bleeding. Knile Davis (32 carries, 132 yards, one touchdown) and Joe McKnight (six catches, 64 yards, two touchdowns) didnÕt look too shabby. (Photo by Joel Auerbach/Getty Images)
25. Miami Dolphins (1-2)
Ryan Tannehill has been sacked eight times in the last two games. What is this, 2013? (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)
26. New York Giants (1-2)
Rashad Jennings (34 carries, 176 yards, one touchdown) was a beast on Sunday, especially when you consider the opponent (Houston). (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)
27. Minnesota Vikings (1-2)
Let the Bridgewater era begin. (Photo by Wesley Hitt/Getty Images)
28. Tennessee Titans (1-2)
The Titans havenÕt scored in the first half of either of their last two games. Combined halftime deficit: 35-0. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)
29. St. Louis Rams (1-2)
When youÕre up 21 points at home, thatÕs a game you have to win. Period. (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images)
30. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-3)
Let the Bortles era begin. (Photo by Rob Foldy/Getty Images)
31. Oakland Raiders (0-3)
Oakland has kept it close in two of its three games. Given the state of the franchise, IÕm not sure you can ask for much more. (Photo by Darren McCollester/Getty Images)
32. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-3)
That was just embarrassing. Lovie Smith may already on the hot seat. (Photo by Cliff McBride/Getty Images)
