With his top two weapons out, Tom Brady turned to Antonio Brown to pick up the slack and he responded. They are playing for seeding now.

​

Schedule: @NYJ, @CAR

They made it interesting against the Browns, but they remain in the top spot. The defense hasn't been as good lately, which has to be a concern.

​

Schedule: MIN, @DET

They are all the way back. Even without Travis Kelce on Sunday, they carved up the Steelers. They are back to being dominant.

​

Schedule: @CIN, @DEN

Even without Matthew Stafford playing well, they were able to beat the Vikings on the road. That's the sign of a good team.

​

Schedule: @BAL, SF

They got the offense cranked up against Washington, which is a good sign. Dak Prescott needed a big day. The pass-rushers will make them a dangerous playoff team.

​

Schedule: ARI, @PHI

Winning at New England the way they did sends a message to the NFL that they are back. Josh Allen was outstanding.

​

Schedule: ATL, NYJ

They are in the playoffs, but they haven't looked like a playoff team the past three weeks. They have to get it going against Dallas this week.

​

Schedule: @DAL, SEA

They have gone from the top seed to a wild card team in two weeks. There has to be concern about their passing game.

​

Schedule: JAX, @MIA

Winning at Arizona with their offensive line decimated shows how well they are coached. Frank Reich has done an amazing job with this team.

​

Schedule: LV, @JAX

Losing on the road to a good team on a short week isn't awful, but it had to sting since they controlled the game against the Titans for most if.

​

Schedule: HOU, @LAR

COVID and injuries have crippled this team as they fall out of the playoffs as of now. They face a tough game this week against the Rams to try and survive.

​

Schedule: LAR, PIT

Getting A.J. Brown back really showed how different they can be with a passing game threat. They will be a tough out in the postseason.

​

Schedule: MIA, @HOU

Losing on the road to the Texans is inexcusable. It doesn't matter how many guys sat out with COVID. They play playoff-like games the next two weeks.

​

Schedule: DEN, @LV

Baker Mayfield throwing four interceptions with the season on the line against the Packers is not a good look. They are long shots to make the playoffs now.

​

Schedule: @PIT, CIN

Barring a disaster, they will be the AFC North champions. They are ahead of schedule as a franchise with Joe Burrow.

​

Schedule: KC, @CLE

At 7-8, they have little room for error the rest of the way. They have to beat the Packers to survive this week.

​

Schedule: @GB, CHI

Here come the Eagles. They have a real chance to be a playoff team. Win two and they are in, which would be a heck of a story.

​

Schedule: @WASH, DAL

If they win their last two, they will be in the playoffs. It won't be easy as they play at Tennessee and then close against the Patriots.

​

Schedule: @TEN, NE

They just had way too many injuries and COVID losses to beat Miami. Their season looks to be coming to an end.

​

Schedule: CAR, @ATL

They simply do not score enough, no matter who plays quarterback. The defense keeps them in games. They need a quarterback.​

Schedule: @LAC, KC

So much for the playoffs. Now comes the tough part: Are they able to keep Russell Wilson next season? Do they want to keep him?

​

Schedule: DET, @ARI

Their season is over. They had a lot of high hopes coming because of the defense, but it never lived up to the hype.

​

Schedule: PHI, @NYG

They did little on offense against the Chiefs, which shows their fatal flaws. They can still get into the playoffs, but it's a long shot.

​

Schedule: CLE, @BAL

Beating the Broncos keeps their playoff hopes alive. The defense came up big in that one, which will be needed this week against the Colts on the road.

​

Schedule: @INDY, LAC

They kept their slim playoff hopes alive by beating the Lions. Now they have to try to keep it that way by winning a road game at Buffalo. Good luck.

​

Schedule: @BUF, NO

Their offense is awful. Does it matter who plays quarterback? They have to get that fixed for the future.

​

Schedule: @NO, @TB

They are still playing hard late in the season, even with their third-team quarterback. But it still won't save Matt Nagy's job.

​

This week: NYG, @MIN

No matter who plays quarterback, this offense is dreadful. It sounds like Joe Judge is coming back, though.

​

Schedule: @CHI, WASH

Without Jared Goff, they competed against the Falcons on the road. It's another god sign for Dan Campbell.

​

Schedule: @SEA, GB

David Culley has this team playing good football. Davis Mills has impressed and might be their long-term starter if he keeps it up. 

​

Schedule: @SF, TEN

They beat the Jaguars with a lot of guys out and their head coach out with COVID. It wasn't pretty, but they'll take it.

​

Schedule: TB, @BUF

It's official. They are the worst team in the league after losing to the Jets. They will be picking first in the draft, barring a miracle.

​

Schedule: @NE, INDY
