25. San Diego Chargers (22)

With the Chargers essentially being out of playoff contention, they should probably take it easy with Melvin Gordon.  That may tick off some fantasy owners, but messing with a hip is probably not something they want to do.

26. Indianapolis Colts (24)

How this Colts team lost to the Texans at home is unknown.  However, it shouldn’t be too surprising as they haven’t been a good team this year, aside from the recent flashes and are now way behind the 8-ball.  Winning the division seemed more likely than not before, and now is probably not realistic.

27.  New York Jets (29)

Bryce Petty is now in the win column for his short career.  Beating the Niners is nothing to write home about, but hey, a win is a win.

Will John Fox survive this disaster of a season?  That is probably the biggest question going into the offseason.  That and who the quarterback will be in 2017.
