1\. Rams (last week No. 1; 7-2): After beating the 49ers at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday, the Rams may be playing another game in Santa Clara this season.
2\. Colts (No. 3; 8-2): Jonathan Taylor is this year’s Saquon Barkley — and he didn’t even have to change teams.
2\. Broncos (No. 3; 8-2): They won’t get far in the playoffs if their offense doesn’t improve.
4\. Lions (No. 4; 6-3): Dan Campbell morphed from MC/DC into MC/OC/DC.
5\. Eagles (No. 5; 7-2): A.J. Brown may wish the trade deadline hadn’t come and gone.
6\. Seahawks (No. 8; 7-2): A gigantic showdown with the Rams is up next.
7\. Patriots (No. 9; 8-2): Could they be on the front end of a new dynasty?
8\. Chargers (No. 12; 7-3): They’re weathering the injuries pretty well.
9\. Buccaneers (No. 7; 6-3): They’ll win the division, but can they win in the postseason?
10\. Bears (No. 16; 6-3): They could make things interesting in January.
11\. Packers (No. 6; 5-3-1): They left their offense in Pittsburgh.
12\. Bills (No. 10; 6-3): An ugly loss to a 2-7 team is not the stuff of a Super Bowl contender.
13\. Chiefs (No. 14; 5-4): They’ve got the car, if they can only find the gas pedal.
14\. Ravens (No. 19; 4-5): Bring back the ping-pong table!
15\. Steelers (No. 11; 5-4): The Aaron Rodgers experiment is not working.

21\. Falcons (No. 21; 3-6): The window is closing.
22\. Cardinals (No. 22; 3-6): The window is closed.
23\. Cowboys (No. 23; 3-5-1): Will the trades make a difference?
24\. Bengals (No. 24; 3-6): Can Joe Burrow make a difference?
25\. Dolphins (No. 28; 3-7): They acted like they won the Super Bowl, which could be the closest they ever come to that outcome.
26\. Jets (No. 29; 2-7): Relax, guy. It was only the Browns.
27\. Giants (No. 25; 2-8): Dysfunctional teams, dysfunctional things.
28\. Browns (No. 26; 2-7): Colorado Rockies, Paul DiPodesta is your problem now.
29\. Commanders (No. 27; 3-7): They should have traded anyone they could have traded.
30\. Saints (No. 31; 2-8): Having the role of spoiler is better than having no role at all.
31\. Raiders (No. 30; 2-7): Maybe Tom Brady paid too much for his well-below-market piece of the team.
32\. Titans (No. 32; 1-8): They’re so irrelevant that it was their bye week and nobody noticed.
