1. Kansas City (11-0): In a reverse Ric Flair, it's a whole lot harder to jump on than it is to jump off
2. Carolina (10-1): We're weeks away from it, but is a 2009 repeat in the cards?
3. Los Angeles (8-3): The Xtreme could finish 13-3 and out of the playoffs, yet Mark Helfrich could win COY just on approach (these are our playoff games) alone
4. San Francisco (8-3): The reality is with a magic number of two to clinch a spot in the Western Conference championship giving Sam Howell a lot of reps over the last five games probably isn't the worst idea
5. Chicago (7-4): Of course, the offense gets right (assist to D'Andre Swift) and it's the defense and special teams who aren't
6. Orlando (7-4): Yes the Rage move up despite losing, half from not having Damien Harris and half because the bigger loss came below
7. Washington (7-4): IRT last week, to quote the late Gorilla Monsoon, the answer is yes
8. San Antonio (5-6): How is going on the road without Miles Sanders and beating a division leader a bad win? When it shows, injuries regardless, how inconsistent a team this is
9. Dallas (5-6): In two weeks Bob Stoops goes from a shocking road upset to possibly his fourth straight year of QB-go-round
10. Tampa Bay (4-7): So trading Swift was the key to unleashing Drew Lock: franchise QB?
11. Seattle (5-6): The home team won every game the first half of the Reign's schedule, now the road team has won the last three (bad news for a team that has four of their last five at home)
12. San Diego (4-7): In seven losses the Mission have a point differential of -140 with only one by single-digits, so they'll either upset the Monarchs in the Eric Bieniemy housewarming game or this will get ugly
13. New York (2-9): Cole Kelley has seemingly bought himself another five-game audition to show Ron Rivera he doesn't need Will Levis or Hendon Hooker
14. St. Louis (2-9): Good news, Anthony Becht can tell his guys they're in fact not better than their record indicates after getting rolled for 514 yards by a team who just traded the guy in #10 (and #5)
15. Birmingham (2-9): It seemed the last time A.J. McCarron won a game he was playing a hour and half away in Tuscaloosa
16. Columbus (1-10): Is the bigger loss the Capitols' tenth of the year or the fact league rules prevent them from drafting C.J. Stroud?
