WASHING MACHINE OF MEDIOCRITY

22. Houston Texans

Record: 2-5

Previous Ranking: 22

If Houston had anything at quarterback they would be near where they were last season. That defense is tremendous.

21. Atlanta Falcons

Record: 2-4

Previous Ranking: 26

The more Atlanta wins, the less likely Tony Gonzalez gets traded. Falcons still in the hunt for a wild card spot.

20. Miami Dolphins

Record: 3-3

Previous Ranking: 15

Miami was 3-0 at one point. It’s true.

19. Buffalo Bills

Record: 3-4

Previous Ranking: 25

Gutting out wins even without E.J. Manuel.

18. Philadelphia Eagles

Record: 3-4

Previous Ranking: 14

With Nick Foles out, Michael Vick better be ready this week.

17. Washington

Record: 2-4

Previous Ranking: 27

A huge leap for Washington in the power rankings, led mostly by the continued improvement of RGIII.
