There is no in-between when it comes to the New England Patriots. But whether you love or hate them, there is one thing that you must have for the Patriots: Respect.

Chiefs
Rk | Teams | Chg | Rcrd | |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 |
Patriots
| They clinched their eighth straight division title and the defense is getting better. | -- | 3-12-0 |
2 |
Cowboys
| Dak Prescott got back on track and that will quiet the Tony Romo talk for now. The defense is improving. | -- | 7-8-0 |
3 |
Raiders
| With the Chiefs losing and the Raiders winning, they are now atop the AFC West with two games to go. | 2 | 3-12-0 |
4 |
Seahawks
| They looked like the Seahawks we expect to see in beating up on the Rams. They are division champs. | 2 | 8-7-0 |
5 |
Falcons
| Matt Ryan continues to roll up big numbers as they push to a division title. He might be the MVP. | 2 | 8-7-0 |
6 |
Giants
| The play of their defense makes them a dangerous team come playoff time. They need to get the offense back on track. | 2 | 2-13-0 |
7 |
Steelers
| I think they are the team who could push the Patriots in the AFC. The defense is getting better. | 3 | 10-5-0 |
8 |
Chiefs
| In their past three home games, they've lost two. That's weird for the Chiefs with Denver coming to town. | 5 | 14-1-0 |
9 |
Lions
| They face a brutal road game this week at Dallas after losing on the road to the Giants. The schedule is so tough. | 5 | 13-2-0 |
10 |
Broncos
| Their offense, as it showed against the Patriots, has been too limited this season. The champs are about done. | 1 | 9-6-0 |
11 |
Ravens
| That two-point stop against the Eagles keeps them alive with a big division game against the Steelers this week. | 1 | 10-5-0 |
12 |
Dolphins
| If the playoffs started today, they would be in the party. That's impressive. | 1 | 7-8-0 |
13 |
Buccaneers
| They competed at Dallas against the best team in the conference. That's a good sign. They have to win their last two to have a playoff chance. | 2 | 8-7-0 |
14 |
Texans
| The move to Tom Savage was the right decision, as is the choice to stay with him. Brock Osweiler was taking this team nowhere. | 1 | 9-6-0 |
15 |
Titans
| If they win out, they will be in the playoffs. That's hard to believe. | 2 | 3-12-0 |
16 |
Packers
| If they win their last two, they win the division. It's that simple. They are the team nobody wants to play. | 2 | 10-4-0 |
17 |
Commanders
| That was a damning loss to the Panthers at home Monday night. They are in big trouble now. | 3 | 10-5-0 |
18 |
Colts
| That was an impressive victory at Minnesota to keep their playoff hopes alive. But they need help. | 2 | 7-8-0 |
19 |
Vikings
| This season has gone wrong in a lot of ways, but losing the way they did to the Colts was embarrassing. They are better than that. | 3 | 13-2-0 |
20 |
Bills
| At .500, they play a big game this week with Miami. It looks like Rex Ryan is in trouble -- no matter what. | 3 | 12-3-0 |
21 |
Saints
| All those who were ready to bury Drew Brees need to back off now. He carved up the Cardinals. | 3 | 5-9-0 |
22 |
Panthers
| They waited too long to get it going this season. But they've played well the past two weeks. | 3 | 4-11-0 |
23 |
Bengals
| Their first half against the Steelers is the team we expected to see this season. Of course, the second half was the team we saw a lot of this season. | 2 | 7-8-0 |
24 |
Chargers
| Is coach Mike McCoy the next to be fired? It could be coming after the season. | 2 | 9-6-0 |
25 |
Cardinals
| Special teams have killed the Cardinals all year. But what happened to the defense against the Saints? | -- | 7-8-0 |
26 |
Eagles
| They can ruin the Giants' playoff party this week if they can beat their rivals. You know they would love that. | -- | 12-3-0 |
27 |
Jets
| They had the look of a team that quit against the Dolphins. That is not a good look. | -- | 4-11-0 |
28 |
Rams
| So the firing of Jeff Fisher didn't change anything. This is still a bad team. What did you expect? | -- | 9-6-0 |
29 |
Bears
| They competed against Green Bay, which is a good sign with nothing on the line. Jordan Howard is a keeper. | -- | 4-11-0 |
30 |
Jaguars
| Gus Bradley got fired after Sunday's loss to the Texans, but does it matter this season? Not a bit. | -- | 3-12-0 |
31 |
49ers
| It's a shame that defense is as bad as it is right now. That used to be a team strong point. | -- | 6-9-0 |
32 |
Browns
| It seems to get worse by the week. They will not win a game. | -- | 3-12-0 |
