Rk. Team Comment
1. New England Admit it, Rex, these guys are pretty darned good.
2. Green Bay We’re running out of superlatives for Aaron Rodgers.
3. Denver No team is blessed with more defensive playmakers than the Broncos.
4. Cincinnati Can’t wait to measure themselves against the Seahawks.
5. Atlanta Dan Quinn looks like the runaway Coach of the Year.
6. Arizona Should rebound after a rare stumble in the desert.
7. Seattle Officials supervisor Dean Blandino will surely get a Christmas card.
8. Carolina A well-deserved bye week for a team that doesn’t beat itself.
