1. 49ers - Firing on all cylinders aside from week 3
2. Texans - Cushing injury enough to drop them to 2
3. Patriots - Hernandez back should help them out a lot
4. Falcons - A little bit shaky the past couple weeks, but getting the job done
5. Ravens - Consistent, with a more dynamic passing attack this year
6. Giants - Didn't miss a beat without Nicks; should only help getting him back
7. Bears - Unbelievable defense, but Cutler is still a question mark
8. Packers - Reputation ranking; they're just due to play better
9. Steelers - Finally getting healthier
10. Vikings - Mostly easy schedule, but they're still delivering
11. Broncos - Extremely difficult schedule so far
12. Seahawks - Incredible defense and Lynch is one of the more consistent RBs
13. Eagles - Talented, but terrible execution; can only get better though
14. Chargers - Rivers is hit and miss, but they've played well so far
15. Cowboys - Looking fairly solid so far
16. Cardinals - Telling performance; they've been playing above their heads

18. Bengals - Faced an easy schedule, about to get tougher after this week
19. Rams - Another surprise, defense is looking solid
20. Redskins - Take a hit with RG3's uncertain status; still dangerous
21. Buccaneers - Hit and miss with certain players, overall solid though
22. Lions - Looking like a mess, but still very talented
23. Colts - Not buying it; can't rely on dramatic finishes for every win
24. Saints - Despite gaping holes, they're dangerous, if nothing else
25. Jets - Plagued by inconsistency and injuries
26. Panthers - Another team with some promise that looks like a mess
27. Bills - That defense is a nightmare
28. Raiders - Ugly, but they've shown a little bit more than the other bottom-feeders
29. Browns - I think they've shown at least a little promise, despite being 0-5
30. Chiefs - Everything came to an ugly head this week
31. Jaguars - Simply put, they are an untalented team
32. Titans - Everything about this team is terrible; completely hopeless situation
