17. Kansas City Chiefs (20)

When last we saw the Chiefs, they were getting smacked around by the Steelers like we haven’t seen since Andy Reid arrived.  Hopefully they’ve thought long and hard about that pathetic performance and used the bye week to make some attitude adjustments.  Or it is possible that they stewed in this filth for two weeks, and the worst is yet to come.  Stay tuned for what the post-bye Chiefs have to offer.

18. Indianapolis Colts (23)

The Colts certainly don’t like to make things easy on themselves.  However, in a one-score game in the fourth quarter, you almost know that a long bomb from Andrew Luck to T.Y. Hilton is coming.  These two have a knack for making that huge play when it matters the most.  Now it is time to see if the Colts can string a couple wins together and make a play for the AFC South.

19. Houston Texans (12)

The Texans were supposed to take the next step when they signed Brock Osweiler away from the Broncos at a premium.  What they didn’t suspect was that Brian Hoyer would be playing significantly better than Osweiler as a backup on a very bad team.  The team can get out of Osweiler’s contract after two years, but do they really want to watch Osweiler lead this team for two whole years.

20. Jacksonville Jaguars (22)

The Jags had a week to revel in their first victory and readjust to the East Coast time zone.  Now it’s time to get to work.  At 1-3, they are right there in the South.  That’s probably more of a knock on the poor division then it is a compliment of the Jaguars, but it’s the truth nonetheless.
