1. Houston Texans — Forceful on both sides of football.
2. San Francisco 49ers — Not sure what that tie was.
3. Baltimore Ravens — Gearing up for two games the next three weeks against the Steelers.

5. Atlanta Falcons — Didn't need undefeated questions hanging over their head anyway.
6. New England Patriots — Back to just outscoring opponents.
7. Denver Broncos — Peyton + defense + special teams = quite a combination.

12. New Orleans Saints — Run from 0-4 to this. Very impressive.
