-
6. Green Bay Packers (3-2)
Green Bay led Minnesota 42-0 through three quarters last Thursday. This SundayÕs game in Miami should be a little tougher. Maybe not a lot tougher, but tougher nonetheless. (Photo by John Konstantaras/Getty Images)

7. San Francisco 49ers (3-2)
A home win over a Chiefs team riding high. San Fran needed that. (Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images)
-
8. Arizona Cardinals (3-1)
The Cardinals hung tough in Denver for three quarters with Drew Stanton and Logan Thomas. This is still a good team Ð despite the 41-20 final. (Photo by Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)
-
9. Indianapolis Colts (3-2)
It appears the Colts have put that 0-2 start behind them. ThursdayÕs showdown in Houston is a big one. (Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images)

10. New England Patriots (3-2)
Well, the Patriots arenÕt dead just yet, are they? (Photo by Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)
-
11. Cincinnati Bengals (3-1)
This team simply does not play well against good competition on prime time. Well, thatÕs pretty much the name of the game in the playoffs. (Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images)
-
12. Baltimore Ravens (3-2)
Both losses have come by seven points to teams that finished 11-5 last year. Not sure what that means Ð aside from the fact that the Ravens are good but not elite. (Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images)
-
13. Detroit Lions (3-2)
Detroit was held scoreless for the final 43+ minutes of regulation against Buffalo. Calvin wasnÕt 100 percent, but come on. (Photo by Joe Sargent/Getty Images)
-
14. Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2)
Not a pretty win over Jacksonville, but after the meltdown against Tampa Bay, the Steelers will take it. (Photo by Rob Foldy/Getty Images)
-
15. Carolina Panthers (3-2)
Credit Carolina for keeping Chicago out of the end zone in the second half. After two embarrassing losses, this was just what the doctor ordered, especially in front of the home faithful. (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)
-
16. New York Giants (3-2)
The offense, with an average of 35 points over the last three games, is humming. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)
-
17. Houston Texans (3-2)
Tough loss for the Texans, but that defense should keep them relevant all season. (Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty Images)
-
18. Buffalo Bills (3-2)
Much respect for Dan Carpenter, who drilled a 58-yarder to beat the Lions in Detroit. And who said kickers donÕt matter? (Photo by Joe Sargent/Getty Images)
-
19. Cleveland Browns (2-2)
The BrownsÕ 25-point comeback against Tennessee was the third-largest comeback in regular-season history. Not bad, Brian Hoyer. Not bad. (Photo by Frederick Breedon/Getty Images)
-
20. Chicago Bears (2-3)
The Bears committed four turnovers against Carolina and allowed the Panthers to return a punt for a touchdown. ItÕs hard to win on the road when you do that. (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)
-
21. Kansas City Chiefs (2-3)
Alex Smith had a chance to beat his former teammates on their turf. Instead, he threw an interception. Yup. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)
-
22. New Orleans Saints (2-3)
An overtime win over Tampa Bay in the Dome? It appears nothing is going to be easy for New Orleans this season. (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images)
-
23. Miami Dolphins (2-2)
Miami had a statement win over New England in the season-opener. A win over Green Bay this Sunday would be another. (Photo by Richard Heathcote/Getty Images)
-
24. Atlanta Falcons (2-3)
The Falcons have dropped three of four and have given up 71 points in the last two weeks. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)
-
25. Minnesota Vikings (2-2)
Not to kick a guy when heÕs down, but why is Christian Ponder still in the NFL? Seriously. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
-
26. New York Jets (1-4)
I wonder if Rex Ryan wishes he still had Tim Tebow. I would. (Photo by Stephen Dunn/Getty Images)
-
27. Washington Redskins (1-4)
Down 17-0, Washington easily could have folded. Instead, it dug in and made a game of it. You canÕt fault the effort. Washington just didnÕt have the horses. (Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images)
-
28. Tennessee Titans (1-4)
Four straight losses, none worse than this last one. (Photo by Frederick Breedon/Getty Images)
-
29. St. Louis Rams (1-3)
Three turnovers, 10 penalties, four sacks allowed Ð and one fourth-quarter rally that came up just short. (Photo by Rich Schultz/Getty Images)
-
30. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-4)
The Buccaneers did everything but win. This is one hole theyÕre probably not climbing out of. (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images)
-
31. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-5)
Blake Bortles has just three touchdowns Ð and four interceptions Ð through three games. Even worse, the Jags have gone from 17 points to 14 to nine. (Photo by Sam Greenwood/Getty Images)
-
32. Oakland Raiders (0-4)
Good luck, Tony Sparano. Good luck. (Photo by Jeff Zelevansky/Getty Images)
