Dirty dozen
The top six and the bottom six heading into Week 14:
| Team | Comment |
| 1. Indianapolis (12-0) | Duh … |
| 2. Cincinnati (9-3) | Why not? |
| 3. Carolina (9-3) | No one’s paying them much attention – a good thing. |
| 4. Seattle (10-2) | Not as good as the record in a weak division. |
| 5. Chicago (9-3) | Awesome defense, but … |
| 6. Denver (9-3) | Still might be AFC’s second best. |
| 27. Detroit (4-8). | Chaos continues post-Mooch. |
| 28. Green Bay (2-10). | “Big” prime-time matchup with Lions on Sunday night. |
| 29. Baltimore (4-8) | Beating Houston by a point at home moves the Ravens down. |
| 30. New York Jets (2-10) | Have to lose out or trade up for a chance at Reggie. |
| 31. San Francisco (2-10) | Reggie? |
| 32. Houston (1-11) | Reggie, Reggie, Reggie. |
