7 AFC teams in the top 10. Of course, 5 in the bottom 10 too.
Just a little more offensive production, and the Packers would be 6-0. Of course, with just a little less, they would be 2-4. The closeness of their losses are holding them up, for now. But with only one win against a team over 0.500, that may be short-lived unless they start actually winning again.
A couple big losses are a big reason for long drops by the Buccaneers and Browns. The Browns also had every team they played before this week lose (except for the Bengals, who were on their bye).
Which leaves the Chiefs as the lone member of the "Cinderella trifecta" still clinging to life in the rankings. They actually have a pretty soft schedule the rest of the way, and (if they can stop giving up 21 points in the fourth quarter, could make it to 9 or 10 wins.
The 49ers finally get a win. But a good team, even a mediocre team would've won that game by 3 or 4 scores, given the awful performance of the Raiders. I think it's going to be a stretch for them to get more than 4 wins this year.
Big movers: Buccaneers (↓17), Dolphins (↑12), Browns, Bengals (↓10), Saints, Seahawks (↑9).
