1. Denver Broncos
Dominant defensive performance, but an off-week for Peyton Manning and the offense, combined with a huge output from the Colts, have pushed the Broncos off from their 1st in O/1st in D pinnacle. Their overall ranking is still 3.14 standard deviations above league average, however. They aren't losing the #1 overall rank anytime soon. So anytime this season.
2. Seattle Seahawks
Still comfortable at #2, and the defense is starting to look better now that it's getting healthier. They could still win the conference.
3. Indianapolis Colts
They dominated a Redskins team that isn't actually so bad. They're no Broncos, they don't have the defense, but they could make a run.
A short run.
4. Green Bay Packers
Similar team to the Colts. Great offense, pretty bad defense. I don't think Aaron Rodgers gets enough credit for convincing the media they're a reasonable team on that side of the ball. My rankings have them at 25. That's worse than the Raiders and the Titans. But still 4th overall, thanks to a(n almost) complete lack of good teams this year.
5. Baltimore Ravens
It's Ngata good sign when you lose your best (?) player for the last 4 weeks of the season in the middle of a tight race for a wild card spot.
6. San Diego Chargers
They probably don't get enough rain in San Diego to Phillip Rivers. Ok, that was bad, but Weddle you do about it? I mean Watt will you do about it (Oh, you don't know Watt Watt I'm talking about. Obviously the Chargers' guard Chris Watt). Now the Rivers one doesn't seem so bad, does it?
7. New England Patriots
8. Detroit Lions
9. Cincinnati Bengals
10. Buffalo Bills
11. Philadelphia Cream Cheese
12. Houston Texans
JJ Watt had probably his third best game of the season. And possibly the third greatest game in NFL history.
13. Miami Dolphins
You just gave up 277 rushing yards to the Jets. THAT'S A PROBLEM.
14. Pittsburgh Steelers
You just lost to the fucking Saints. THAT'S A PROBLEM.
15. San Francisco 49ers
You can't play offense. THAT'S A PROBLEM.
16. Dallas Cowboys
You can't play defense. THAT'S A PROBLEM.
17. Cleveland Browns
You tried to solve your offensive woes by putting in a quarterback you drafted because of a homeless guy. THAT'S A PROBLEM.
18. New Orleans Saints
You're even worse at defense than the Cowboys. THAT'S A PROBLEM.
19. Tennessee Titans
You just allowed 6 TDs to Ryan Fitzpatrick. THAT'S A PROBLEM.
20. Kansas City Chiefs
You're in the same division as the Broncos. THAT'S A PROBLEM.
21. Arizona Cardinals
See, 9ers, San Francisco 4. THAT'S A PROBLEM.
22. Washington Redskins
See Cowboys, Dallas. I'm also running out of problems to mention. THAT'S A PROBLEM.
UH OH.
23. Chicago Bears
See Redskins, Washington. Except you don't have a good number like them. You have a
shitty number. But maybe your city won't mind.
24. St. Louis Rams
You just lost 52-0 to the Raiders. THAT'S A PROBLEM. Whoops, I got the game backwards. THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM. You're still
hopeless. THAT'S A PROBLEM.
25. New York Jets
You can't pass the ball. THAT'S A PROBLEM.
26-32. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons, Minnesota Vikings, Jacksonville Jaguars, Oakland Raiders, New York Giants
THAT'S A PROBLEM.
