Chargers 8-2-0 When you have the NFL's best player (LaDainian Tomlinson) and one of the top five QBs (Philip Rivers), you're going to put up some points. If the defense can get back to the level it was at in the beginning of the year, the Chargers will be scary good.

Colts 9-1-0 The good thing about Indy losing is we don't have to worry about hearing from the grumpy, old '72 Dolphins anymore. The only grumpy old men worth listening to were Walter Matthau and Jack Lemon.

Bears 9-1-0 Second City? Not any more. Chicago dominates New York on back-to-back weekends.

Ravens 8-2-0 Jamal Lewis won't get 2,066 yards this season, but he's running as hard as he did back in 2003. ''It kind of felt like old times,'' he said Sunday after scoring three TDs in a game for the first time since Week 14 of 2003.

Patriots 7-3-0 You never want to say it about a game as violent and demanding as football, but the Patriots made Sunday's win over the Packers look pretty easy.

Cowboys 6-4-0 Rumors say Tony Romo is dating Jessica Simpson. Wow, 3-1 as a starter, the NFL's second-highest rated QB and now he's dating Jessica Simpson. Let's just say Romo is having a pretty good month.

Broncos 7-3-0 We've been saying all year that it would be hard for Mike Shanahan to make a QB switch with the team in the playoff hunt. But at some point, he might just say enough is enough and give the job to Jay Cutler.

Panthers 6-4-0 DeAngelo Williams' emergence gives the Panthers so many weapons that the United Nations is thinking of asking for sanctions against Carolina.
9 (16)
Jaguars 6-4-0 David Garrard, 7-2 in his last nine starts, is looking more and more comfortable as the leader of the Jags. And the Jaguars' confidence in him grows with every game as well.
10 (13)
Chiefs 6-4-0 Even with Larry Johnson on top of his game, the Chiefs are going to need more than 102 yards passing from Trent Green against most teams.
11 (7)
Seahawks 6-4-0 With the defense still up-and-down, the Seahawks need their offense to get in gear. Matt Hasselbeck's return should certainly help.
12 (17)
Bengals 5-5-0 Well, it sure seems like Chad Johnson and Carson Palmer have found their timing. The two have hooked up for 450 yards and five TDs in the past two weeks.
13 (9)
Saints 6-4-0 The Saints' defense (118 points allowed in last four games) is starting to play the way everyone expected at the beginning of the season. That's not a good thing.
14 (8)
Giants 6-4-0 For someone who's supposed to be one of the better QBs in the NFL, Eli Manning can look truly terrible at times.
15 (19)
Steelers 4-6-0 Ben Roethlisberger did what great QBs need to do every now and again -- he simply took over and won the game for the Steelers.
16 (15)
Falcons 5-5-0 Jim Mora Sr. goes on the radio and said Michael Vick is a 'coach killer.' Atlanta coach Jim Mora Jr. says he doesn't listen to what his dad says. Should be a fun Thanksgiving dinner table.
17 (14)
Jets 5-5-0 Who knows if the outcome would have been any different, but the onside kick call by the Jets obviously didn't work out. A team like the Jets needs to take some risks, but at 0-0, we're not sure that was the right time.
18 (22)
49ers 5-5-0 If you have a solid QB and RB (and right now the 49ers' RB is a lot better than solid) in the NFL, you're going to be in contention.
19 (21)
Dolphins 4-6-0 When you rush for the fewest yards in a game in franchise history (minus-3), you're not supposed to win. That might be true, but the Dolphins aren't going to give the W back.
20 (11)
Eagles 5-5-0 With their schedule the rest of the way, the Eagles are cooked without Donovan McNabb.
21 (18)
Rams 4-6-0 This obviously isn't the same attack the Rams used to have, but still, 111 yards of total offense is pretty shocking.
22 (20)
Packers 4-6-0 If Brett Favre isn't healthy enough to make consecutive start No. 252 that leaves just Ingle Martin, who's never taken a snap in the regular season. Miller stock just went up.
23 (27)
Bills 4-6-0 Now that was the connection every Bills fan has been waiting for between J.P. Losman and Lee Evans. But was it just a one-week fluke or a sign of better things to come?
24 (23)
Vikings 4-6-0 Vikings' run defense is too good. By shutting teams down, it forces them to pass against a secondary that's so bad it managed to make Joey Harrington look good.
25 (29)
Titans 3-7-0 Vince Young missed the team flight to Philly on Saturday night and had to pay for his own flight. He said he got stuck in traffic behind a funeral procession. No truth to the rumor that it was Kerry Collins' career in the hearse.
26 (26)
Texans 3-7-0 So, CB Dunta Robinson, tell us how you really feel after giving up 340 yards passing in a losing effort to Buffalo's J.P. Losman: 'Giving up yards like that to J.P. Losman is embarrassing.'
27 (28)
Buccaneers 3-7-0 So much for the story that said Jon Gruden is thinking about leaving: 'Some [expletive] idiot wrote that article, OK?' Gruden told the Orlando Sentinel. 'I'm committed to being with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.'
28 (25)
Commanders 3-7-0 Not the result Jason Campbell would have hoped for in his debut, but overall a pretty good first start.
29 (24)
Browns 3-7-0 Maybe Kellen Winslow and Braylon Edwards should win a game before popping off and mimicking Joey Porter's celebratory leg kick. The Browns have lost six straight and are 1-7 at home against the Steelers since returning to the league in 1999.
30 (32)
Cardinals 2-8-0 For a guy who won so many games in college, the wait for his first NFL victory had to be excruciating for Matt Leinart.
31 (30)
Lions 2-8-0 Detroit is in an uproar now after losing to Arizona, but that will be nothing compared to the reaction if Joey Harrington returns to Ford Field on Thanksgiving and walks out with a win.
32 (31)
Raiders 2-8-0 Randy Moss had zero catches against the Chiefs. That just shouldn't happen, ever.
