Filed Under: Bucs, Sports

1. New England Patriots (8-2)LeGarrette Blount led the Patriots to another lopsided win over a division leader. As for Jonas Gray, come on, Bill. Get over yourself. (Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images)

2. Green Bay Packers (8-3)Wow, Green Bay didnÕt score 50 points. No matter. If the playoffs started today, the Packers would have a first-round bye. (Photo by Adam Bettcher/Getty Images)

3. Denver Broncos (8-3)Denver struggled mightily against Miami but found a way to win. That way was No. 18 Ð and a suddenly physical running game. (Photo by Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)

4. Dallas Cowboys (8-3)Another game-winning drive for Tony Romo, who finished with four touchdowns and without an interception. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)

5. Arizona Cardinals (9-2)Arizona has scored just three points in its last seven quarters. (Photo by Steve Dykes/Getty Images)

6. Philadelphia Eagles (8-3)This one was over at halftime. Three Titans turnovers didnÕt hurt, either. (Photo by Rich Schultz/Getty Images)

7. San Francisco 49ers (7-4)Another ugly win. The Niners have averaged just 17.4 points in their last five games Ð and the only game in which they scored more than 17 points went to overtime. (Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images)

8. Indianapolis Colts (7-4)The Colts struggled at home against Jacksonville Ð they led just 6-3 at halftime Ð before rolling in the second half. No worries. This team is a shoe-in for a division title. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)

9. Seattle Seahawks (7-4)Dominant win over Arizona. The Seahawks looked like the defending Super Bowl champions for the first time since Week 1. (Photo by Steve Dykes/Getty Images)

10. Cincinnati Bengals (7-3-1)Andy Dalton exorcised some Houston demons, but you never got the sense that the Bengals Ð despite controlling the ball for almost 40 minutes Ð were in total control of that game. (Photo by Bob Levey/Getty Images)

11. Pittsburgh Steelers (7-4)With two games remaining against Cincinnati, the Steelers still have a great opportunity to win the AFC North. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)

12. Baltimore Ravens (7-4)Justin Forsett is a beast. (Photo by Wesley Hitt/Getty Images)

13. Kansas City Chiefs (7-4)Short week or no short week, trap game or no trap game, itÕs the Raiders. Come on! (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)

14. Detroit Lions (7-4)The Lions havenÕt scored a touchdown in their last two games. (Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images)

15. San Diego Chargers (7-4)Another one-score win over a losing team. San Diego hasnÕt beaten a winning team since Week 3 at Buffalo. (Photo by Stephen Dunn/Getty Images)

16. Cleveland Browns (7-4)Billy Cundiff has had his ups and downs this year, but heÕs drilled two come-from-behind, game-winning field goals. ThatÕs clutch. So was Brian Hoyer (despite his three interceptions). Seven plays in 44 seconds? Nice (Photo by Scott Cunningham/Getty Images)

17. Miami Dolphins (6-5)The Dolphins led the Broncos in Denver by 11 points entering the fourth quarter. They also trailed by 11 with under four minutes to go. The lesson learned? Miami can play with elite teams but is still learning how to finish against elite teams. Given the youth on both sides of the ball, thatÕs okay. (Photo by Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)

18. Buffalo Bills (6-5)The playoffs might be a stretch, but the Bills have a chance to finish with their first winning record since 2004, when they went 9-7. (Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images)

19. Chicago Bears (5-6)It wasnÕt pretty, but that was a must-win game for the Bears. They couldnÕt let woeful Tampa Ð with Lovie Smith and Josh McCown Ð waltz into Soldier Field and win. CouldnÕt happen. (Photo by Brian Kersey/Getty Images)

20. Houston Texans (5-6)If the Texans had any chance of catching Indy in the AFC South, they needed to beat Cincinnati on Sunday. They did not. (Photo by Bob Levey/Getty Images)

21. St. Louis Rams (4-7)The Rams continue to hang tough against better teams despite being out of the playoff race. You got to respect that. (Photo by Donald Miralle/Getty Images)

22. Atlanta Falcons (4-7)With upcoming games against Arizona, Green Bay and Pittsburgh, thatÕs one the Falcons really, really needed. And they didnÕt get it. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)

23. New Orleans Saints (4-7)Three straight home losses? ItÕs unthinkable. Even more unthinkable? The Saints are still in first place. (Photo by Wesley Hitt/Getty Images)

24. Minnesota Vikings (4-7)Tough loss for the Vikings. In fact, theyÕre 2-3 in the their last five games, with all three losses coming by a touchdown or less. (Photo by Hannah Foslien/Getty Images)

25. Washington Redskins (3-8)Another rough performance from RG3. Washington may have some choices to make this offseason. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)

26. Carolina Panthers (3-7-1)The Panthers head to Minnesota this week looking for their first road win since Week 1 (Tampa Bay) and their first win period since Week 5 (Chicago). (Photo by Grant Halverson/Getty Images)

27. New York Giants (3-8)Odell Beckham Jr. is your Catch of the Year winner. No contest. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)

28. New York Jets (2-9)The 35-point loss to Buffalo was the most lopsided defeat in an utterly miserable season. Rex might not last all 16 games. (Photo by Leon Halip/Getty Images)

29. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-9)The Buccaneers put up a decent fight against the Bears Ð aside from the third quarter, when they were outscored 21-0. (Photo by Brian Kersey/Getty Images)

30. Tennessee Titans (2-9)The Titans trailed the Eagles by 17 after the first quarter and by 17 entering the fourth. ThatÕs not going to cut it. (Photo by Jeff Zelevansky/Getty Images)

31. Oakland Raiders (1-10)After 16 straight losses, a win. Raiders fans rejoice. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)

32. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-10)Gritty performance in the first half, but then the second half happened. Still a long way to go for this franchise. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)
