1. Steelers (9-0)
From the medical marvel perspective, what Ben Roethlisberger is doing a year after his elbow surgery is on par with what Adrian Peterson did in 2012 after his ACL surgery.
2. Chiefs (8-1)
If he wants to settle the score with Jon Gruden's Raiders, Andy Reid needs to bring a better defense than he had in Week 5.
3. Saints (7-2)
Don't write them off just yet. Remember, they went 5-0 with Teddy Bridgewater last season.
4. Buccaneers (7-3)
Uh-oh. NFC jinx alert. With Drew Brees out for a while, some talking heads are starting to murmur about the Bucs being the best team in the conference.
5. Raiders (6-3)
Heads up, Patrick Mahomes. The Raiders doubled their season takeaway total with five against the Broncos.
6. Cardinals (6-3)
A month after beating a 5-0 Seattle team, the Cardinals have a chance of dropping the Seahawks to 1-4 in their past five games.
7. Rams (6-3)
Sorry, Russell Wilson fans. It was the Rams who cooked Russ to the tune of two picks and a 57.0 passer rating on Sunday.
8. Packers (7-2)
It takes a leap of faith to keep the Packers in the top 10 after they were outmuscled in an ugly win over Jacksonville.
