NFL: Dirty dozen

The top six and bottom six teams in the NFL based on current level of play.

1. New England (16-0): Unbeaten will be meaningless without a title.

2. Indianapolis (13-2): Content to be low-profile.

3. Dallas (13-2): If Owens isn’t healthy for the playoffs, there could be a problem.

4. Jacksonville (11-4). The team no one wants to play.

5. San Diego (10-5). Starting to play up to the talent.

6. Green Bay (12-3). Maybe it’s just the Bears …

27. New York Jets (3-12). Better, but still losing.

(tie) Oakland (4-11). JaMarcus Russell lost at least a half-season by holding out.

28. Baltimore (4-11). As bad as the record

29. Kansas City (4-11). Same.

30. St. Louis (3-12). Injuries hurt the offense. The defense is just bad.

31. Miami (1-14). “I’m not the coach,” Parcells said. Yes, but the coach will hear plenty from him.

32. Atlanta (3-12). Given the outstanding effort last week in Arizona, maybe Emmitt Thomas should coach full time.
