| 1 |  | Patriots | Drake May might be the NFL MVP by season’s end, and Mike Vrabel seems like a lock for Coach of the Year. |
| 2 |  | Eagles | The defending Super Bowl champs’ offense seems lost, but the defense remains stout. |
| 3 |  | Rams | The Rams just keep winning big games and marching toward the playoffs looking like a super dangerous team. |
| 4 |  | Broncos | Very similar to the Eagles’ problems: the Broncos’ defense is stout, but Bo Nix and the offense have struggled. Quite possibly the greatest fourth quarter team ever. |
| 5 |  | Colts | A much-needed bye week before they head to Arrowhead to face a Kansas City Chiefs team with its back against the wall, unable to afford another loss. |
| 6 |  | Bills | A huge bounce-back week for the Bills as Josh Allen once again showed he’s the best player in the league. A big double-digit win for Buffalo. |
| 7 |  | Seahawks | It’s been a brutal stretch for Sam Darnold these last few games, but Seattle’s defense has kept the Seahawks afloat. |
| 8 |  | Bears | It’s been a while, but the Bears are once again a really good football team. |
| 9 |  | Packers | The Packers got the win on Sunday against the Giants, but it didn’t come without casualties. It felt like every drive someone was heading to the sideline injured for the Cheeseheads. |
| 10 |  | Buccaneers | Even though the Bucs lost, they seem like a team that will bounce back. Baker Mayfield played amazing against the Bills before a fourth quarter fumble sealed Tampa’s fate. |
| 11 |  | Lions | The Lions’ offense was completely shut down Sunday night against the Eagles. |
| 12 |  | 49ers | – Brock Purdy came back and the 49ers looked completely rejuvenated, absolutely blowing out the Arizona Cardinals. |
| 13 |  | Jaguars | Something was awakened in Jacksonville after blowing a big lead to Houston last week. The Jags came out firing on all cylinders, completely gashing the Chargers’ defense and shutting down Justin Herbert, Trey Lance, and the rest of the offense. |
| 14 |  | Steelers | Aaron Rodgers suffered an injury scare on Sunday but looks to be fine. His status for Sunday is still TBD. |
| 15 |  | Chiefs | This team is desperate. The Chiefs’ playoff hopes are looking dim as they head home to face the Colts with their season pretty much on the line. |
| 16 |  | Panthers | It’s been a funky year for the Panthers. They’ve been up and down, but despite everything, they’re currently only one game out of first place in the NFC South. |
| 17 |  | Ravens | The Ravens keep winning, but this past week wasn’t pretty. It felt like the Browns were going to beat Baltimore until Dillon Gabriel went down with a possible concussion. Their soft midseason schedule continues with a matchup against the Jets. |
| 18 |  | Chargers | If you want to talk about stinking up the joint, look no further than the Chargers. A pitiful performance on offense and defense from a team that not long ago looked like an AFC contender. |
| 19 |  | Cowboys | The Cowboys’ defense looks completely revamped. They shut down Ashton Jenty, one of the best running backs in the league. Expected them to beat the Raiders, but didn’t expect the defense to be the driving force. The addition of Quinnen Williams has changed everything. |
| 20 |  | Texans | Houston is getting hot at the right time. Davis Mills seems to be fitting in extremely well. Big game against Buffalo on Thursday night. |
| 21 |  | Vikings | A tough loss on Sunday: they scored a late touchdown only to lose on a last-second field goal. |
| 22 |  | Dolphins | With the season essentially over, these wins feel meaningless. It seems inevitable that Mike McDaniel is coaching on borrowed time as he likely won’t be the Dolphins’ head coach next season. |
| 23 |  | Falcons | With zero identity, the Falcons need to figure out a lot before next season. Hopefully Kirk Cousins gives the offense a much-needed spark late in the year. |
| 24 |  | Bengals | As Joe Burrow’s return looms, the Bengals’ season feels dead. The offense has had bright moments, and Joe Flacco has looked decent, but the defense has been such a mess that nothing else matters. |
| 25 |  | Commanders | A complete flip-flop from last season. Washington has spiraled. |
| 26 |  | Saints | The Saints were on a bye. It’s Tyler Shough’s team now as the rookie takes over behind center. They have a winnable game against the Falcons on Sunday. |
| 27 |  | Giants | It was very Jameis Winston–like to throw a game-losing interception. |
| 28 |  | Jets | The Jets were on a bye week. Unfortunately for them, they now head to Baltimore to face the Ravens. |
| 29 |  | Browns | The Browns felt like they had it figured out against the Ravens until they didn’t. Myles Garrett continues to wreak havoc and is clearly on his way to a Defensive Player of the Year award. |
| 30 |  | Cardinals | Brock Purdy and the 49ers completely embarrassed the Cardinals on their home field. Arizona has been hit hard by injuries all season. QB will likely be a major priority moving forward. |
| 31 |  | Raiders | This is a really bad football team. Hard to find anything positive from Monday night. The run game was terrible, Geno Smith has been a dud all season, and the defense was shredded. This team simply stinks. |
| 32 |  | Titans | For Tennessee, it’s all about the future. Cam Ward looks like he has the tools to become a very good quarterback—they just need to build around him. While the season is over, the future looks brig |
