NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE TOP TO BOTTOM

No. Team (Record) Comment

1. St. Louis (6-0) Injured kicker only gave Rams reason to score more.

2. Minnesota (6-0) Good team, but not a dominating one.

3. Tennessee (5-1) Eddie George controls ball, defense controls game.

4. Washington (5-2) Defense and Stephen Davis a solid combination.

5. New York Jets (5-1) Monday night showdown interrupts Subway Series.

6. Miami (5-1) Playing Jets on the road for first place a big test.

7 Oakland (5-1) Playoff-bound: Get used to the idea.

8. Indianapolis (4-2) Edgerrin James rejuvenated.

9. Baltimore (5-2) We want a touchdown, gotta have a touchdown.

10. Detroit (5-2) Catch that hit on Keyshawn Johnson?

11. Kansas City (3-3) Brace for Stoyanovich’s revenge.

12. Denver (4-3) Imagine if Terrell Davis were playing.

13. New York Giants (5-2) Only partly responsible for Aikman’s awful day.

14. Buffalo (3-3) Flutie gets chance to stir quarterback debate.

15. Tampa Bay (3-4) This ship has taken on water.

16. Philadelphia (4-3) A bit wary of the 1-6 Bears.

17. Pittsburgh (3-3) The Bus should roll against Cleveland.

18. New England (2-5) That resurgence is on hold.

19. Jacksonville (2-5) From 14-2 to under .500?

20. Green Bay (3-4) In danger of missing playoffs for second season in a row.

21. New Orleans (3-3) Could make a little noise in weak NFC West.

22. San Francisco (2-5) Jeff could become most popular Garcia in Bay Area since Jerry.

23. Dallas (2-4) It’s Aikman’s ship. Jerry Jones wants to let him go down with it.

24. Atlanta (2-5) Things would get ugly with a loss to Saints.

25. Carolina (2-4) Things already got ugly.

26. Chicago (1-6) Best--and only--1-6 team in NFL.

27. Seattle (2-5) Huard likely to play. Is that good or bad?

28. Arizona (2-4) This team not winning any stadium votes.

29. Cleveland (2-5) No Tim Couch? Ouch.

30. San Diego (0-7) Good news: No game, no quarterback decision.

31. Cincinnati (0-6) Season scoring total: Still 37 points.
