9. Denver Broncos (9)

This was a bad loss for the Broncos. They are now two games back in the AFC West and only 1-3 in the division. The hardest part of their schedule is still to come.

If there is some positive from this terrible loss—Trevor Siemian and the offense played GREAT in the second half. The Broncos outgained the Chiefs nearly 2-1, but still managed to lose the game. Now the Broncos don’t seem to be a sure thing to make the playoffs.

10. Pittsburgh Steelers (11)

The Steelers Thanksgiving Night win was probably a little bit closer than they would have hoped against the Scott Tolzien-led Colts. However, a win is a win and they remain tied with the Ravens for the division lead.

The Steelers are still the favorites to win the AFC North, provided they can remain healthy.

11. Washington Redskins (8)

Dallas just proved to be too tough for the Redskins, as they have with most teams this season. Fear not though Redskins fans—Washington is still in a prime position to make the playoffs via the wildcard slot, and they have a very good quarterback. If they get hot at the right time, who knows.

12. Detroit Lions (15)

The Lions just keep on winning, and if we are being honest, they should be 8-3 or even 9-2. They have to be considered the favorites to win the NFC North.

Still hard to think the Packers won’t give them a late push, but with 2 wins in hand against the Vikings, they essentially have a two-game lead on both the Vikings and the Packers.
