Last rank: 32nd
The Texans are all kinds of finished. Time to look into mock drafts for the next six months.

What a brutal, brutal, brutal loss. Josh McDaniels is on the hot seat.
30
Denver Broncos 3-6
Last rank: 26th
Denver has to be the most disappointing team in the league. Just a horrific campaign.
29

The losses keep piling up for the Bears, but Justin Fields is looking like a star in the making.
28
Carolina Panthers 3-7

P.J. Walker is fun, the defense is decent and Steve Wilks is making a good case to be the head coach in 2023.

It’s time for general manager Mickey Loomis to accept reality and blow this thing sky-high in the offseason.

Pittsburgh is in the unfamiliar role of playing spoiler, while trying to find out what to make of Kenny Pickett.
24
Jacksonville Jaguars 3-7
Last rank: 23rd
The Jaguars were +3 in the turnover margin against the Chiefs and still got blown out. Not ideal.

When the defense gives up 39 points, Jacoby Brissett and the offense have no chance with their run-first approach.
22

Jeff Saturday gets to laugh at everybody for a week. Gets the win in his debut.
21

Last rank: 17th
Losing to the Panthers might be the signal Atlanta is about to fall off the proverbial cliff.
19

Tennessee Titans 6-3
Last rank: 13th
That was one ugly game, but the Titans found a way to win.

Last rank: 11th
Cincinnati has one of the toughest remaining slates, but first a rematch with the Steelers. Sounds weird, but a must-win for the Bengals.

Rough loss. The Cowboys were sloppy for much of the evening at Lambeau, and it cost them dearly.
8
San Francisco 49ers 5-4
Last rank: 9th
Gutsy win by the 49ers, who judging from their schedule, could get white-hot for the next two months.

At some point, the team has to be more than Josh Allen doing everything.
4

3
Minnesota Vikings 8-1

Minnesota may win nothing but close games, but it’s really good at doing so. The Vikings are in the hunt for home-field advantage.
