TeamComment
1. Indianapolis (3-0)No need to score 40 every week.
2. Philadelphia (3-0)McNabb and Akers demonstrate the meaning of playing hurt.
3. New England (2-1)Belichick’s teams always win hurt.
4. Pittsburgh (2-1)Ben can beat everyone but the Patriots.
5. Cincinnati (3-0)A legitimate contender – for the playoffs, at least.
6. Atlanta (2-1)Attribute the loss to a short-week, cross-country hangover.
27. Baltimore (0-2)Will probably start moving up this week.
28. Chicago (1-2)Will Bears ever have a long-term starting QB?
29. San Francisco (1-2)Good effort, not enough talent.
30. Green Bay (0-3)Moves up two spots by almost winning.
31. Houston (0-2)The expansion plan worked well for three years.
32. Arizona (0-3)Historically correct location for Bidwill’s lads.
