21. Houston Texans (26)

It is really remarkable that the Texans are over .500 this late in the season.  They have a minus 45 point differential, and just don’t pass the eye test.  Despite all that, they have done just enough to put themselves at the top of a poor division with a chance to make the playoffs.

22. New Orleans Saints (20)

Not sure what the problem is with the Saints.  In spite of a terrible defense, this team has been one of the best teams in the NFL on the offensive side of the ball.  That is until the past two weeks where they have failed to put up more than 13 points in either game.

23. Philadelphia Eagles (19)

Carson Wentz, the rookie, has finally arrived.  After spending the first half of the season looking like an elite quarterback, the back half has looked much how the first half was expected to look.  There’s still a bright future ahead for this kid, for now, he’s a rookie.

24. Buffalo Bills (21)

Rex Ryan at least gave thought of benching Tyrod Taylor when he was non-committal about a starter early in the week.  Could this mean that the young quarterbacks future with the team is up in the air?  We shall find out in the offseason.
