25. Buffalo Bills (via KC)
The Kansas City Chiefs are on thin ice and need to get back on track. This past week was suppose to be a cupcake game coming out of their bye and facing the New York Giants. Instead, Kansas City looked lost on offense and generated more questions.
26. Jacksonville Jaguars
Jacksonville’s defense continues to get the job done. Their dominance has allowed Doug Marrone and his coaching staff to develop a safe offensive attack. However, at some point they are going to need Blake Bortles to win a game which might come in the postseason.
27. Los Angeles Rams
The loss to the Minnesota Vikings could be just a hiccup in what has been a great year for the Rams. However, the Vikings have an elite defense and could be a unit the Rams face again come playoff time.

28. New Orleans Saints
New Orleans kept their winning streak alive thanks to some luck and poise. Winning these types of games is what championship caliber teams do. One concern is the health of Marshon Lattimore who is an important part of their defensive success.
29. Minnesota Vikings
Case Keenum continues to play winning football which has helped the Vikings create a cushion in the NFC North. However, it’s the play of the defense that has this team thinking Super Bowl.
30. Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh’s offense had a breakout game this past week and will be looking to continue the momentum. This offensive breakout is a big deal as the defense has played at an elite level all season. It makes the Steelers a legitimate Super Bowl contender.
31. New England Patriots
The struggles from earlier in the year are obviously behind the New England Patriots. They have been able to overcome some injury problems to yet again become the favorite in the AFC. It looks like the AFC playoffs will yet again be going through Foxboro.
32. Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia is playing the best football out of any team in the league. They showed that this past week against the Dallas Cowboys. Their ability to rebound from a poor 1st half showed that this team is primed to make noise in the playoffs.
