Rk | Teams | Chg | Rcrd | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  | They come out of their bye with a tough road game at Philadelphia against the Eagles. That will be special for Sam Bradford against the team that traded him to the Vikings. | -- | 5-8-0 |
| 2 |  | With Tom Brady back, they look to be Super good again. Now comes a tough road game at Pittsburgh. | -- | 11-2-0 |
| 3 |  | They rallied against the Falcons to show they are still one of the elite of the NFC. The defense showed some leakage, though. | 4 | 10-3-0 |
| 4 |  | Don't sleep on how well the defense is playing. The secondary has been really good. | 4 | 6-6-1 |
| 5 |  | They just don't seem to be right on offense. When does it start to work? Aaron Rodgers isn't the same passer right now. | 2 | 9-3-1 |
| 6 |  | That was a tough loss at Seattle, but they went 1-1 on the tough stretch out west. They still look like the class of the NFC South. | 2 | 4-9-0 |
| 7 |  | They need to get better play from the quarterback position than what they got the past two weeks. If not, they could waste a lot of good defense. | 2 | 11-2-0 |
| 8 |  | Ben Roethlisberger will miss this week's game with the Patriots. That's too bad. The Steelers can't beat the Pats without him. | 2 | 7-6-0 |
| 9 |  | They came off the bye in impressive fashion by beating the Raiders. The running game was impressive. | 3 | 6-7-0 |
| 10 |  | At 4-2, they've turned their season around. The running game really clicked against the Eagles. | 3 | 3-10-0 |
| 11 |  | They've ripped off four consecutive victories. But now the schedule gets really tough the next month, starting with a road game at Miami. | 3 | 9-4-0 |
| 12 |  | They've lost two consecutive games on the road, and the defense hasn't looked good. Getting back home to face the Vikings won't be easy. | 3 | 8-4-0 |
| 13 |  | They have major defensive issues and now face a long road trip to Jacksonville. They can't stop anybody. | 3 | 2-11-0 |
| 14 |  | That Brock Osweiler deal isn't looking so good. Now they face his former team in Denver this week. | 3 | 8-5-0 |
| 15 |  | They got Odell Beckham Jr. going against the Ravens, and that could get them going on offense. They have a long road trip to London to face the Rams. | 4 | 2-11-0 |
| 16 |  | They looked good beating the Jets, but now they face a big division battle with the rival Seahawks. Are they ready for that? | 1 | 3-10-0 |
| 17 |  | They looked good against the Broncos to get to 2-4. But they face a tough road trip to Atlanta this week. | 11 | 8-4-0 |
| 18 |  | They've won two consecutive games to get to 2-3. In their division, they still have a shot to win it. | 2 | 3-10-0 |
| 19 |  | With a home game this week against the Redskins, they have a chance to get over .500. Matthew Stafford is playing well. | 3 | 8-5-0 |
| 20 |  | At 3-3, they are in the thick of their division race with a big one this week with the Colts. The running game has been good. | 6 | 2-11-0 |
| 21 |  | Blowing that victory at Houston will come back to hurt this team in the long run. Now they face another division road game at Tennessee. | 2 | 8-5-0 |
| 22 |  | They have lost two straight to fall to 3-3 and put that fast start seemingly way in the past. Injuries have hurt. | 7 | 10-3-0 |
| 23 |  | Three consecutive losses have them at .500. They've had a ton of injuries. | 7 | 6-7-0 |
| 24 |  | They just don't look like a playoff team. At 2-4, they have major problems. | 6 | 4-9-0 |
| 25 |  | They come off the bye week with a long road trip to San Francisco. That's winnable for sure. | 4 | 7-6-0 |
| 26 |  | That victory at Chicago could be the thing to get this team going. The offense needs to open up. | 1 | 9-4-0 |
| 27 |  | They showed some life against the Steelers, and also a nice running game. Now comes a tough division game with Buffalo. | 3 | 6-7-0 |
| 28 |  | Is it time to sit Ryan Fitzpatrick down? It's getting to that point. | 4 | 3-10-0 |
| 29 |  | At 1-5, they are done. This season is a disaster. Even getting Cam Newton back couldn't provide a victory. | 2 | 7-6-0 |
| 30 |  | This is going to be a long season. For all the talk about Brian Hoyer, he scored 16 points. Oh, boy. | 1 | 9-4-0 |
| 31 |  | The change to Colin Kaepernick at quarterback didn't exactly pay off. But he sure wasn't worse than Blaine Gabbert. | -- | 9-4-0 |
| 32 |  | They are still fighting, which is a good sign. Cody Kessler did some good things against the Titans. | -- | 3-10-0 |
