2. New England Patriots (10-3)The Patriots survived their last tough test of the regular season and should have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Congrats to Tom Brady and Bill Belichick: thatÕs 12 straight 10-win seasons. (Photo by Todd Warshaw/Getty Images)

3. Denver Broncos (10-3)No touchdowns for Peyton Manning, but C.J. Anderson (three scores) has been quite the fantasy pickup. (Photo by Dustin Bradford/Getty Images)

4. Seattle Seahawks (9-4)Seattle has won six of seven and once again looks like a pesky playoff out. (Photo by Evan Habeeb/Getty Images)

5. Indianapolis Colts (9-4)Not a pretty win, but hey, the Colts were money when it mattered. (Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images)

6. Arizona Cardinals (10-3)Huge comeback win for the Cardinals, especially with Seattle beating the Eagles. (Photo by Jennifer Stewart/Getty Images)

7. Philadelphia Eagles (9-4)Just 139 total yards of offense? WhenÕs the last time that happened to Chip Kelly? Sunday nightÕs game against Dallas will likely decide the division. (Photo by Evan Habeeb/Getty Images)

8. Dallas Cowboys (9-4)Dallas atoned for its Thanksgiving Day massacre with an impressive 41-28 win in Chicago. Just how impressive? The Cowboys led 35-7 at halftime. (Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images)

9. Detroit Lions (9-4)Calvin Johnson is playing like a man possessed. In his last two games, he has 19 catches for 304 yards and three touchdowns. The Lions won both of those games, 34-17. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)

10. Pittsburgh Steelers (8-5)The Steelers are 11-2 in their last 13 visits to Paul Brown Stadium. LeÕVeon Bell (235 total yards, three touchdowns) was beastly yet again. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)

11. Baltimore Ravens (8-5)Another grind-it-out game for the Ravens, who overcame a 10-point deficit to best Miami, 28-13. With three winnable games upcoming (against Jacksonville, at Houston, against Cleveland), the playoffs are still within reach. (Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images)

12. Cincinnati Bengals (8-4-1)The Bengals led the Steelers, 21-17, entering the fourth quarter. Then they gave up 25 unanswered. Cincy has postseason pretender written all over it Ð if it even gets there. (Photo by John Grieshop/Getty Images)

13. San Diego Chargers (8-5)The offense produced just seven points at home on prime time against New England. ThatÕs not enough. (Photo by Todd Warshaw/Getty Images)

14. San Francisco 49ers (7-6)The Raiders?! Yeah, the Jim Harbaugh era is officially coming to a close. Make that six straight non-overtime games with 17 points or fewer. (Photo by Brian Bahr/Getty Images)

15. Houston Texans (7-6)With three wins in their last four games, the Texans are suddenly back in the playoff mix. In other news, J.J. Watt didnÕt score a touchdown Sunday. Sad times. (Photo by Rob Foldy/Getty Images)

16. Kansas City Chiefs (7-6)After five straight wins, three straight losses Ð two by a combined seven points. Ouch. (Photo by Jennifer Stewart/Getty Images)

17. Miami Dolphins (7-6)Miami has been unimpressive since falling short at Denver, barely beating the Jets and squandering a 10-point lead against the Ravens. This SundayÕs game in Foxboro will make or break the DolphinsÕ season. (Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images)

18. Buffalo Bills (7-6)The BillsÕ late surge in Denver was exactly that: late. (Photo by Justin Edmonds/Getty Images)

19. Cleveland Browns (7-6)Backbreaking loss for the Browns, who gave up an 11-play, 90-yard drive to Andrew Luck and the Colts in the final minutes. Six of ClevelandÕs 13 games have been decided by three points or fewer. (Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images)

20. St. Louis Rams (6-7)Oakland and Washington arenÕt good teams, but come on. This is the NFL Ð and back-to-back shutouts are impressive. As for the coin-toss stunt, well-played, Jeff Fisher. Well-played. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)

21. Minnesota Vikings (6-7)Teddy BridgewaterÕs game-winning 87-yard touchdown pass to Jarius Wright is the signature moment of what has been a fairly solid rookie season. (Photo by Hannah Foslien/Getty Images)

22. Atlanta Falcons (5-8)Still atop the division. Somehow. (Photo by Mike McGinnis/Getty Images)

23. Carolina Panthers (4-8-1)Jonathan Stewart rushed for 155 yards against the Saints. That was more than his previous three games combined (145). (Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images)

24. New Orleans Saints (5-8)SundayÕs 41-10 debacle against Carolina was the SaintsÕ most lopsided home loss under Sean Payton. Sadly, this team is still in playoff contention. (Photo by Sean Gardner/Getty Images)

25. New York Giants (4-9)ThereÕs nothing like a game against the Titans to end a seven-game skid. Odell Beckham Jr. (11 catches, 130 yards, one touchdown) is becoming quite the star. (Photo by Frederick Breedon/Getty Images)

26. Chicago Bears (5-8)The Bears are 3-7 in their last 10 games. Apologies for stating the obvious, but Jay Cutler is not an elite quarterback. (Photo by David Banks/Getty Images)

27. Washington Redskins (3-10)Colt McCoy wasnÕt as good this time around, and we got a Robert Griffin III sighting as a result. No matter. Washington got shut out at home for the first time since 2009. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)

28. New York Jets (2-11)Both Jets turnovers were returned for touchdowns. New York is 0-6 on the road this season. (Photo by Adam Bettcher/Getty Images)

29. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-11)With 10 receiving touchdowns, Mike Evans is the one bright spot in an otherwise miserable season. (Photo by Leon Halip/Getty Images)

30. Oakland Raiders (2-11)Derek Carr threw three touchdowns against San Francisco. Derek Carr had thrown three touchdowns in his previous four games combined. (Photo by Brian Bahr/Getty Images)

31. Tennessee Titans (2-11)ThatÕs seven straight losses. The last three were by a combined 72 points. (Photo by Frederick Breedon/Getty Images)

32. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-11)The Jaguars actually led Houston 13-10 at halftime but didnÕt score in the final two quarters. ItÕs been an awful season, sure, but these are growing pains young teams have to go through. (Photo by Sam Greenwood/Getty Images)
