Trying to keep a level head after the Bengals huge win last night as I rank all the NFL teams for you. I could toss the Bengals in the top 5, but really, do they belong there? As for the rest of the teams, I kind of stop caring after the first 12 or so. The playoff teams are near the top (except for the NFC South) and a bunch of bad teams at the bottom. Here are your rankings of all 32 teams. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
| NFL Team | Wins | Losses | Ties | Rank | Previous Rank | |
| New England Patriots | 12 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 1 | Even with the slim win over the Jets, the Patriots still look like the best all around team right now. |
| Seattle Seahawks | 11 | 4 | 0 | 2 | 3 | The Seahawks are playing now like they were when they ended the season last year. That is not good news for anyone in the NFC. |
| Green Bay Packers | 11 | 4 | 0 | 3 | 2 | The Packers need to beat the Lions to take the division. They may be the only team that can hang with the 'Hawks. |
| Dallas Cowboys | 11 | 4 | 0 | 4 | 5 | Tony Romo is leading Dallas and can overcome the perception that he falters when it counts. |
| Detroit Lions | 11 | 4 | 0 | 5 | 8 | The Lions have found ways to win this season even if many of them were ugly. |
| Cincinnati Bengals | 10 | 4 | 1 | 6 | 10 | The Bengals slayed some demons, beating a good team in prime time. |
| Denver Broncos | 11 | 4 | 0 | 7 | 4 | Peyton Manning is struggling right now and the Broncos are not a good enough team to overcome that. |
| Arizona Cardinals | 11 | 4 | 0 | 8 | 6 | Too many injuries at the QB position. |
| Pittsburgh Steelers | 10 | 5 | 0 | 9 | 11 | Got the win against KC and look toward the AFC North showdown this weekend. |
| San Diego Chargers | 9 | 6 | 0 | 10 | 15 | Philip Rivers led the charge to dig out of the hole he put the team in. This team knows how to play in the stretch. |
| Indianapolis Colts | 10 | 5 | 0 | 11 | 7 | Dallas hammered the Colts and this is another team struggling at the wrong time. |
| Philadelphia Eagles | 9 | 6 | 0 | 12 | 9 | Losing to Washington hurt the Eagles, they just have too many turnovers. |
| Houston Texans | 8 | 7 | 0 | 13 | 17 | A fourth string QB beat the Ravens. Remember when everyone said they had the easiest road to the division title? |
| Baltimore Ravens | 9 | 6 | 0 | 14 | 12 | 3 interceptions for the "Elite" Joe Flacco. |
| Kansas City Chiefs | 8 | 7 | 0 | 15 | 14 | The Chiefs have to find ways to get their receivers the ball. All Charles and tight end show in KC. |
| Miami Dolphins | 8 | 7 | 0 | 16 | 19 | Exciting way to end the game, blocked punt for a safety. |
| Buffalo Bills | 8 | 7 | 0 | 17 | 13 | Let down game you think? |
| San Francisco 49ers | 7 | 8 | 0 | 18 | 16 | Harbaugh's time comes to a close in San Fran. |
| New York Giants | 6 | 9 | 0 | 19 | 25 | The Giants have one of the best wide outs in the league developing for them it seems. |
| Minnesota Vikings | 6 | 9 | 0 | 20 | 21 | Mike Zimmers defense got gashed and the Vikings couldn't recover. |
| Atlanta Falcons | 6 | 9 | 0 | 21 | 24 | Who wins this terrible division? It comes down to Falcons Vs. Panthers. |
| Carolina Panthers | 6 | 8 | 1 | 22 | 22 | Can the Panthers win the division after their six game losing streak earlier this season? |
| St. Louis Rams | 6 | 9 | 0 | 23 | 18 | The Giants figured out the Rams defense I guess. |
| Cleveland Browns | 7 | 8 | 0 | 24 | 20 | Tough loss with Manziel being hurt. Wait, no it wasn't. |
| New Orleans Saints | 6 | 9 | 0 | 25 | 23 | This is a season the Saints just want to be over. |
| Washington Redskins | 4 | 11 | 0 | 26 | 28 | Desean Jackson had fun at his former teams expense. |
| Chicago Bears | 5 | 10 | 0 | 27 | 26 | Jay Culter's last game as a Bear? |
| New York Jets | 3 | 12 | 0 | 28 | 29 | I rarely root for the Jets, I did on Sunday. They still stink. |
| Oakland Raiders | 3 | 12 | 0 | 29 | 31 | Shocked another team but the Raiders need to do some serious work in the offseason. |
| Jacksonville Jaguars | 3 | 12 | 0 | 30 | 30 | Did anyone watch their game on Thursday night? |
| Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 2 | 13 | 0 | 31 | 27 | Tampa could snag a QB in the draft and have a lot of weapons around him early. |
| Tennessee Titans | 2 | 13 | 0 | 32 | 32 | The Titans don't have much hope for the future with their current cast. |
