The Middle of the Pack
1) Los Angeles Rams (8-5)Last Week’s Rank: 15
Things haven’t exactly gone according to plan for the Rams since their 8-0 start, but they’re still in contention for a first-round bye in the NFC. After a dud against the Bears in Week 14, they rebounded with a resounding 42-7 win over the Cardinals. They have a tough matchup this week against the Eagles, but if they can win that, they’ll be in good shape heading into the final week of the season.
2) Pittsburgh Steelers (8-5-1)Last Week’s Rank: 12
The Steelers put together their best performance of the season in a must-win game against the Patriots on Sunday night. Pittsburgh’s offense finally looked like the unit we expected it to be, and the defense did just enough to get the job done. The Steelers now have a two-game lead in the AFC North and control their own destiny. They close out the season with three straight home games, starting with this week’s matchup against the Saints.
3) Houston Texans (9-4)Last Week’s Rank: 3
The Texans picked up another impressive win on Sunday, this time beating up on the Browns 29-13. Houston’s defense has been incredible all season long, and it was on full display again against Cleveland. The Texans have already clinched a playoff spot, but they’re still fighting for a division title and a first-round bye. They have a tough test this week against the Jets, but if they can win that game, they’ll be in great shape heading into the final weeks of the season.
The Bottom Ten
1. Los Angeles Rams (3-11)
2. Cincinnati Bengals (3-11)

4. New York Giants (5-9)

They have a great offense led by quarterback Derek Carr, and their defense is playing well enough to get them wins.
