9.  Baltimore Ravens (9)

Getting down big to the Browns was bad—but coming all the way back was really good.  Mike Wallace is becoming a Flacco favorite.  Now we need to see the Ravens beat someone who has actually won a game already this year.

10.  Seattle Seahawks (4)

What on Earth is going on with the Seattle Seahawks?  They are hanging on

to a top-10 spot purely on past success.  Let’s put it this way; the Seahawks has scored as many points this year as the Broncos DEFENSE scored in the fourth quarter on Sunday and lost to a team that has been outscored by two teams defenses for the year.  They are looking at a tumble out of the top-20 if they put up one more performance like they did Sunday—Good riddance.

11.  Houston Texans (14)

The fact that J.J. Watt is playing NFL football just two months removed from a herniated disc is a minor miracle in itself.  The fact that he’s still wrecking people is even more amazing.  The Texans finally got the best of the Chiefs in front of their home crowd.  Osweiler has had ups, and had downs, but is 2-0.  A win against the Patriots will help vault this team into the top-10 for the first time this year.

12.  New York Jets (16)

The J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets spit hot fire all over the Bills on Thursday Night Football.  Brandon Marshall survived his knee scare, and Ryan Fitzpatrick showed why it was so important that come back.  The biggest concern that the Jets should have at this point is the fact that Darrelle Revis appears to have lost a step.  Aside from that, this team looks for real.
