| Record | Best | Worst | Comment | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ind | 9-0 | 1 | 3 | Indy's still undefeated and still on top. Are squeakers promising or concerning, though? |
| 2 | Mia | 3-6 | 2 | 32 | Zach Thomas is 3rd in the league in tackles ... and the Dolphins have 3 wins. |
| 3 | Chi | 8-1 | 2 | 32 | Bears pull off a stunning rise after a shocking fall, but Rex Grossman is still a concern, as he's tied for third in the league with 11 INT's. |
| 4 | Bal | 7-2 | 4 | 20 | Despite the lead in the AFC North, Ravens won't fly high for long with Jamal Lewis averaging 3.4 ypc. His highest per carry average for a game is 4.6. Don't let the big names (or occasional big score) fool you ... this is a team built on D. |
| 5 | NYJ | 5-4 | 5 | 29 | If the Jets hadn't been robbed of a game earlier this year they'd be tied with the Pats ... who had that one pre-season? Pennington for CPY? |
| 6 | SF | 4-5 | 4 | 27 | SF stole Detroit's spot and Frank Gore is 5th in the league in rushing ... tons of surprises. |
| 7 | Det | 2-7 | 6 | 29 | Detroit falls one spot because of a loss to 49ers. Roy Williams is talking the talk and walking the walk with 800 yards receiving (3rd in the league) so far. |
| 8 | Hou | 3-6 | 8 | 32 | Which is the bigger surprise, the Texans beating the Jags again or DeMeco Ryans being 5th in the league in tackles? |
| 9 | KC | 5-4 | 9 | 22 | Huard is efficient (5th in the league in passer rating) and LJ is a workhorse and it definitely isn't broken (so don't go trying to fix it). |
| 10 | Den | 7-2 | 4 | 22 | Champ Bailey has 5 INT's? Who are the idiots throwing his way when the receiver isn't open? Bailey actually catches the ball, which most defenders struggle with. |
| 11 | SD | 7-2 | 9 | 19 | Tied with Denver for the AFC West lead. The Chargers are also the highest scoring team in the league ... anyone questioning letting Brees go (no offense to Brees, who has played well in NO)? |
| 12 | Pit | 3-6 | 1 | 27 | Move up looks nice, but they're still tied for last in the AFC North (4 back of Baltimore) and their QB leads the league in picks even though he missed some time. |
| 13 | Car | 5-4 | 6 | 20 | Peppers leads the league in sacks and Smith is, according to many, the best receiver in the league. Watch out in the second half. |
| 14 | Cin | 4-5 | 5 | 20 | Cincy is 9th in the AFC, but only 1 game back of a tie for 6th. Too bad they got the shaft against the Bucs. But, they've also allowed more points than every team in the AFC except the Titans. |
| 15 | Phi | 5-4 | 4 | 25 | Another so-so game for McNabb. But, they top the NFC East teams in the rankings. Go Eagles! |
| 16 | Jax | 5-4 | 1 | 25 | Will two losses to Houston come back to haunt the Jags? What does it do to the Garrard-Leftwich situation? Either way, Sunday was not a banner day for the franchise! |
| 17 | Cle | 3-6 | 11 | 31 | Winslow may not be a soldier, but he does have the second most receiving yards of any TE in the league. |
| 18 | Ten | 2-7 | 8 | 30 | Not only have the Titans allowed the most points in the league, they also have the largest negative difference between points scored and points allowed. They don't have the fewest wins in the league, at least. |
| 19 | Atl | 5-4 | 6 | 21 | Vick is 14th in the league in rushing, that's crazy! There are 32 teams in the league and a QB is 14th! |
| 20 | TB | 2-7 | 10 | 20 | Ronde Barber may be thinking of petitioning the league to get more games against the Eagles and McNabb. |
| 21 | Sea | 6-3 | 2 | 28 | Two games clear despite missing two key cogs for a big chunk. So much for a Super Bowl hangover for Holmgren's crew. |
| 22 | GB | 4-5 | 22 | 29 | Favre's a solid QB again. But, please, stop with the retirement talk. Let him retire if he wants but don't speculate and help him draw it on ... and on ... and on. |
| 23 | StL | 4-5 | 4 | 27 | The Rams may regret letting Seattle take a two game lead. Oh well. It's the Rams, they weren't going anywhere anyway. |
| 24 | Buf | 3-6 | 11 | 29 | Sabres have played 17 games and have 31 points. Is that more or less impressive than their 10-0-0 record in road games? |
| 25 | Was | 3-6 | 3 | 30 | Finally, Jason Campbell is getting on the field. Unfortunately, Clinton Portis won't be carrying the rock for a while. |
| 26 | NE | 6-3 | 5 | 26 | Vinny T.? Maybe the Jets have a chance at the division crown after all. |
| 27 | NO | 6-3 | 4 | 31 | Reggie Bush has just over 250 yards rushing and is averaging 2.8 per carry. He hasn't averaged 5+ per carry in any single game this year. Deuce is doing it, why can't 25? |
| 28 | Oak | 2-7 | 21 | 31 | Tampa Bay (112 points) and Oakland (105 points) are the only teams in the league with less than 140. At least Gruden can take solace in his dominance of the Raiders! |
| 29 | Min | 4-5 | 7 | 29 | Chester Taylor's been strong, but the Vikings are revealing their true colors with 3 losses in a row. They're a mediocre team in a bad division that is dominated by the Bears. |
| 30 | Dal | 5-4 | 15 | 30 | Romo to Owens helped the Cowboys get over .500. It didn't help them in the rankings because they beat ... |
| 31 | Ari | 1-8 | 23 | 31 | Dennis Green and Co. should have more than one win, but they don't. They have the worst record in the NFL and that should mean something to someone. |
| 32 | NYG | 6-3 | 3 | 32 | Tiki leads the league in rushing. The Giants lead the NFC East at 6-3. Yet, they're last in the rankings, partly due to the injuries. However, it has more to do with Miami's stunning beatdown of Chicago in the Windy City the previous week. |
Week 9
