21. Buffalo Bills (20)

In this league, no lead is safe. The Bills had a 24-9 lead, and then they blinked and they were down two touchdowns.  This could well be knockout blow for the Bills playoff chances.  Ouch.

22.  San Diego Chargers (21)

The Chargers season ended early when they squandered multiple opportunities.  It would take a monumental run and a lot of help to see this team make the postseason.  9-7 is likely not going to get it done and this happens to be the very best they can finish.

23. Cincinnati Bengals (26)

That looked a lot more like the team we thought the Bengals would be.  With the talent they have on their roster, it’s really incredible that it is December, and they just won their fourth game of the year.

24. Indianapolis Colts (25)

After the dismantling of the Jets, the Colts are now in a 3-way tie for the division at .500.  The way they have played in the past three games with Andrew Luck at the helm, the Colts have to be considered the favorites to win the AFC South.
