The year of no great teams continues. The 4-4 Eagles are the worst team to ever rank No. 1 at midseason, and the 5-3 Texans are the worst team in DVOA to ever have a winning record at midseason (with Detroit not far behind).
As I've detailed numerous times over the past two months, the NFL just doesn't seem to have any really great teams this season. That's a big reason why the Philadelphia Eagles are still No. 1 in DVOA despite yet another loss in Week 9.
Yes, I know it seems absurd to have a 4-4 team at No.
