The Jets blocked a punt with their defense on the field, which was pretty impressive. Unfortunately, they still had Joe Flacco playing quarterback.

Give Doug Marrone credit for trying a surprise on-side kick early against the Steelers. The Jaguars needed all the help they could get, but realistically, they never had a chance.

"},{"index":30,"title":"Cincinnati Bengals (LW: 26)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_cin.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

Joe Burrow was running for his life all season and finally suffered the blow Cincinnati was bracing for. His torn ACL is bummer for all football fans, but Burrow still has a bright future.

"},{"index":29,"title":"Philadelphia Eagles (LW: 25)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_phi.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

The Eagles are still technically in first place in the NFC East, yet feel like the team with the least amount of hope. Jalen Hurts needs to playing quarterback.

"},{"index":28,"title":"Washington Football Team (LW: 31)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_wsh.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

Washington was losing before Joe Burrow went down with a knee injury, but took advantage of the Bengals after that in a very unimpressive win. At least Antonio Gibson and Terry McLaurin are young pieces to be excited about.

"},{"index":27,"title":"Detroit Lions (LW: 21)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_det.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

Zero points against the Panthers. Zero. Remember, this is a Panthers defense with eight new starters this season. Carolina came into the week ranked 27th in defensive DVOA. Zero points.

"},{"index":26,"title":"Atlanta Falcons (LW: 18)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_atl.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

Matt Ryan was under constant pressure by the Saints and Julio Jones' hamstring injury didn't help. It was surprising the Falcons couldn't manage a single touchdown in New Orleans.

"},{"index":25,"title":"Los Angeles Chargers (LW: 29)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_lac.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

Every week, Justin Herbert does more and more to impress. He can beat you inside the pocket and outside with his legs. His deep ball looks effortless. With Burrow down, Herbert looks like the favorite to win Rookie of the Year.

"},{"index":24,"title":"Dallas Cowboys (LW: 28)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_dal_0_0.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

Andy Dalton did just enough to beat the Vikings with 203 passing yards, three touchdowns and interception. Maybe the Cowboys can muster just enough offense to win the NFC East.

"},{"index":23,"title":"New England Patriots (LW: 19)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_ne_0_0.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

Just when it looked like the Patriots might climb back into playoff contention, they delivered a clunker on the road in Houston. In the AFC, they don't have much of a chance anymore.

"},{"index":22,"title":"Houston Texans (LW: 27)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_hou.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

Deshaun Watson continues to be outstanding on a bad team. He threw for 344 yards and accounted for three touchdowns against the Patriots. Now the whole country will get to enjoy Watson on Thanksgiving as the Texans visit Detroit.

"},{"index":21,"title":"Denver Broncos (LW: 24)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_den.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

After confusing Tua Tagovailoa Sunday, it will be really interesting to see what Vic Fangio dials up against Taysom Hill and the Saints. Something tells me the Hill experiment won't look as promising this week.

"},{"index":20,"title":"Carolina Panthers (LW: 23)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_car.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

Matt Rhule coached P.J. Walker at Temple and it sure seemed like that chemistry carried over to the NFL Sunday as the Panthers thoroughly outplayed the Lions with Teddy Bridgewater.

"},{"index":19,"title":"Chicago Bears (LW: 22)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_chi.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

While not official, it sure seems like the Bears will turn to Mitch Trubisky in Green Bay Sunday night. Problem is, they might not have Akiem Hicks.

"},{"index":18,"title":"New York Giants (LW: 20)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_nyg.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

Could the Giants actually win the NFC East? They play the Bengals next week and close the season with a home game against the Cowboys. If they can steal one other win, they could win it at 6-10. For a team that seems to be improving, it's not that crazy.

"},{"index":17,"title":"Minnesota Vikings (LW: 15)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_min.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

Kris Boyd dropped an interception in the end zone and the Vikings blew a coverage to lose to the Cowboys at home. Dallas scored 31 points, but the Bears couldn't manage an offensive touchdown against the Vikings?

"},{"index":16,"title":"San Francisco 49ers (LW: 17)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_sf_0_0.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

The 49ers are reeling with three straight losses and it doesn't get any easier coming out of the bye week as the Rams and Bills are up next.

"},{"index":15,"title":"Miami Dolphins (LW: 11)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_mia.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

Tua Tagovailoa was rudely introduced to Vic Fangio's defense and it did not go well as the rookie was benched with just 83 passing yards. The good news? Tua will keep his job as the Jets await.

"},{"index":14,"title":"Baltimore Ravens (LW: 9)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_bal_0_0.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

John Harbaugh didn't like that the Titans gathered on the Ravens' crest at midfield before the game, but his team didn't do a good enough job defending their turf. Baltimore is now in danger of missng the playoffs.

"},{"index":13,"title":"Arizona Cardinals (LW: 10)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_arz_0_0.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

At 6-4, the Cardinals have made major strides this season and they still have a manageable schedule the rest of the way. But this week's game at New England feels like a must-win for Kliff Kingsbury's team.

"},{"index":12,"title":"Cleveland Browns (LW: 16)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_cle_0_0.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

The weather in Cleveland is awful every week and the Browns don't do anything pretty, but they still find a way to win enough games. Baker Mayfield still needs to be better if this team is going to seriously contend in the playoffs.

"},{"index":11,"title":"Las Vegas Raiders (LW: 12)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_oak.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

The Raiders have played the Chiefs tougher than anyone this season and if they can get into the playoffs, it's possible Jon Gruden gets a third crack at Kansas City in the first round.

"},{"index":10,"title":"Tennessee Titans (LW: 14)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_ten_0_0.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

Trailing against the Ravens Sunday, it looked like the Titans' season was slipping away. Enter Derrick Henry and A.J. Brown, who refused to go down and carried Tennessee to a huge victory on the road.

"},{"index":9,"title":"Seattle Seahawks (LW: 13)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_sea_0_0.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

The Seahawks' defense showed major signs of improvement against the Cardinals and Russell Wilson got back on track. If the defense plays like that, the Seahawks are capable of winning the NFC.

"},{"index":8,"title":"Buffalo Bills (LW: 7)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_buf_0_0.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

The Bills had a bye week to get over the brutal Hail Murray loss to the Cardinals and they must regroup because there aren't any gimmies the rest of the way.

"},{"index":7,"title":"Tampa Bay Buccaneers (LW: 5)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_tb_0_0.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

Practicing at night didn't help the Buccaneers overcome their prime time problems. The Rams had answers for Tom Brady and shutdown the Bucs running game. You can never count out Brady in the playoffs, but something seems to be missing in Tampa.

"},{"index":6,"title":"Green Bay Packers (LW: 4)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_gb_0_0.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

Despite the loss in Indianapolis, the Packers remain a very good team. That said, they've struggled to score in three of four halves against the Bucs and Colts, the two best defenses they've faced. Sunday night's game against the Bears' defense will provide another tough test.

"},{"index":5,"title":"Indianapolis Colts (LW: 6)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_ind.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

After struggling in the first half, Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus made key in-game adjustments and shut Aaron Rodgers down in the second half. The quarterback play remains suspect, but the Colts have enough to be dangerous in the playoffs.

"},{"index":4,"title":"Los Angeles Rams (LW: 8)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_lar_0_0.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

The Rams have been hard to figure out this year, but that was a heck of win in Tampa Monday night. With Sean McVay and Brandon Staley, the Rams have good coaches on both sides of the ball.

"},{"index":3,"title":"New Orleans Saints (LW: 3)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_no_0_0.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

With all the attention on Taysom Hill, the biggest story with the Saints in recent weeks is how much better their defense is playing. If they keep that up, New Orleans is definitely a Super Bowl contender when Drew Brees comes back.

"},{"index":2,"title":"Pittsburgh Steelers (LW: 2)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_pit.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

The Steelers are now 10-0 after an easy three-week stretch that included a blowout against the Jaguars Sunday. Thursday night they'll be tested against a desperate Ravens team at home.

"},{"index":1,"title":"Kansas City Chiefs (LW: 1)","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/slide/image/GALLERY_TEAM_SLIDE_NFL_kc_0_0.png","credit":"","published":1606140000,"caption":"

Seven plays and 75 yards in just 1:15. Easy touchdown to Travis Kelce to win the game. Patrick Mahomes continues to be special and right now, he's the MVP in my mind.
