3. Denver Broncos (6-2)

It wasnÕt so much that Denver lost; it was that it wasnÕt even close. The Broncos have lost their two toughest road games of the season. Home-field advantage in the playoffs is going to be awfully important for this squad. (Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images)

4. Philadelphia Eagles (6-2)

Nick FolesÕ broken collar bone is a crushing blow to a team with Super Bowl aspirations. The silver lining? It doesnÕt appear heÕll require surgery. (Photo by Bob Levey/Getty Images)

5. Detroit Lions (6-2)

The Lions enter the second half of the season in control of their own destiny. WhenÕs the last time we said that? (Photo by Jordan Mansfield/Getty Images)

6. Dallas Cowboys (6-3)

It took the offense almost 59 minutes to find the end zone against Arizona Ð and by that point, it was garbage time. It was wrong to bring Tony Romo back in against Washington, but it appears the Romo haters have a lot to think about. (Photo by Wesley Hitt/Getty Images)

7. Indianapolis Colts (6-3)

ThatÕs seven straight games with 300+ passing yards for Andrew Luck Ð the third-longest streak in NFL history. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)

11. Cincinnati Bengals (5-2-1)

The Bengals overcame a slow start against Jacksonville thanks in large part to Jeremy Hill, who had 24 carries for 154 yards and two touchdowns. Oh, and A.J. Green is back. That helped. (Photo by John Grieshop/Getty Images)

12. San Francisco 49ers (4-4)

The 49ers had almost as many sacks allowed (eight) as points scored (10) against St. Louis. WeÕre only halfway through the season, but this team is in grave danger of missing the playoffs. (Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images)

13. Buffalo Bills (5-3)

The Bills have a series of tough but winnable games upcoming. It all starts this Sunday at home against Kansas City. (Photo by Alex Goodlett/Getty Images)

19. San Diego Chargers (5-4)

Shut out for the first time since 1999? By 37 points? This game said more about San Diego than Miami. The Chargers have now lost three straight. (Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images)

20. Minnesota Vikings (4-5)

The Vikings Ð without Adrian Peterson and with a rookie quarterback Ð are flirting with .500. Amazing. (Photo by Hannah Foslien/Getty Images)

21. Houston Texans (4-5)

The Texans limp into the bye having lost five of seven. Even worse? They let Mark Sanchez beat them. (Photo by Bob Levey/Getty Images)

22. St. Louis Rams (3-5)

Give the Rams credit. They beat the 49ers in San Francisco despite gaining only 193 yards. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)

23. Carolina Panthers (3-5-1)

The Panthers have averaged just 12 points in their last three games Ð all losses. In fact, Carolina has just one win in its last seven games. (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)

24. Washington Redskins (3-6)

Not a horrible day for RG3, but thereÕs a big difference between 4-5 and 3-6. Season over. (Photo by Hannah Foslien/Getty Images)

25. New York Giants (3-5)

The bye week didnÕt do this team very good. ThatÕs three straight losses with Seattle, San Francisco and Dallas upcoming. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)

26. Chicago Bears (3-5)

27. Atlanta Falcons (2-6)

The Falcons have lost five straight, but theyÕll have had two weeks to rest and prepare for a game against Tampa Bay. No excuses this weekend. (Photo by Mike Hewitt/Getty Images)

The TitansÔ next three games are against three teams (Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia) that are a combined 17-9 (.654). (Photo by Wesley Hitt/Getty Images)

29. New York Jets (1-8)

Hey, we had a Percy Harvin sighting (11 catches for 129 yards). Nevertheless, eight straight losses. (Photo by Peter Aiken/Getty Images)

30. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-7)

Five of Tampa BayÕs seven losses are by six points or fewer. (Photo by Jason Miller/Getty Images)

31. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-8)

Well, they led after the first quarter. (Photo by John Grieshop/Getty Images)

32. Oakland Raiders (0-8)

Down 24-3 at Seattle, Oakland somehow made a game of it. For this franchise, there is such a thing as a moral victory. (Photo by Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images)
