23. Cincinnati Bengals (4-7) (Previous rank: 27): Chad Johnson scoring touchdowns and then hamming it up for the camera…those are the Bengals we know. Their offense performed as they usually do: well. Their defense was also pretty good…a fact completely foreign to Cincinnati fans.

24. Kansas City Chiefs (4-7) (Previous rank: 22): Despite the great play of rookie Kolby Smith, the Chiefs were upset at home. Remember when opponents never won at Arrowhead in November? Yeah, neither do we.

25. Carolina Panthers (4-7) (Previous rank: 23): This team is bad. Their record is probably better than it should be. Their defense and their offense have both unraveled. They’ll be watching the playoffs from home.

26. Baltimore Ravens (4-7) (Previous rank: 25): Their season is over. Without a defense, the Ravens aren’t going to win any games. Kyle Boller isn’t doing horribly, but when other teams are scoring 30 points, he’s not going to catch up.

27. Oakland Raiders (3-8) (Previous rank: 30): The Raiders aren’t going to make the playoffs, but they might have just knocked the Chiefs out too. Justin Fargas ran well and their defense made plays when they needed to the most.

28. Atlanta Falcons (3-8) (Previous rank: 26): Watching the Falcons play the Colts was like watching JV play varsity. The Falcons just couldn’t get in the end zone on offense and couldn’t keep the Colts out of the end zone on defense.

29. San Francisco (3-8) (Previous rank: 31): Their offense got it together for the first time in eight games and Frank Gore made his fantasy owners proud. It’s probably too little, too late for the 49ers, but they can somewhat salvage their season.

30. New York Jets (2-9) (Previous rank: 28): After getting a big win over the Steelers, the Jets couldn’t take off against the Cowboys. Their offense was awful, scoring only three points. Their defense didn’t have a chance to contain the Cowboys to the Jets level of scoring.

31. St Louis Rams (2-9) (Previous rank: 29): This game was in the bag, but the Rams let it out. There is no way they should have let Seattle come back. Not that it matters, St. Louis saw their season end weeks ago.

32. Miami Dolphins (0-11) (Previous rank: 32): With Mother Nature on Miami’s side in Monday night’s game, the Dolphins just couldn’t deliver. All it took was one touchdown for victory or one field goal for overtime. Miami can’t wait till this season’s over.
