Dirty dozen
The top six and the bottom six heading into Week 4:
Team | Comment |
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. |
