8. team. 45. With the exception of the Atlanta game, the Broncos’ defense kept on turning. Just like last year, Denver needs better performance out of the QB position, but bad QB play won them the super bowl. Maybe that’s the winning formula.. 86.19. . Denver Broncos

team. 36. Per usual, Seattle leads the league in total defense, and they’re third in scoring defense. But this year, an injured Russell Wilson caused the offense to look a little stagnant a few games. They’re still impossible to beat at home as the Falcons found out recently.. 89.57. . Seattle Seahawks. 7

32. After limping out of the gate, Arizona bounced back in a big way. Two dominant wins in the last two weeks kept them ranked high on this list. Watching David Johnson is more fun than watching any other player in the league.. 94.79. . Arizona Cardinals. 6. team

140.43. . Dallas Cowboys. 5. team. 123. Tony Romo might get a ring sitting on the sidelines since Dak Prescott shows the NFL how good he really is. Romo can call the guy he use to back up, Drew Bledsoe, to find out how it feels to lose your job to injury.

New England Patriots. 4. team. 47. Another year and another trip to the playoffs for New England. Just mark it down. First round bye and a trip to the AFC Championship. Again. At some point, the NFL just needs to pull four random teams from the Patriots schedule out of a hat and award them the four Patriot losses. Brady and Belichick can skip the season and show up in January.. 148.28.

3. team. 54. A 3-2 team is unlikely to be this high, but look at their games. They utterly destroyed their first three opponents then lost two close games on the road. Carson Wentz looks like the real deal, and I bet he starts winning those close games as the season moves forward.. 149.12. . Philadelphia Eagles

16. Rex Ryan went from the hot seat to the pent house. The Bills are flying high since firing their offensive coordinator, and it doesn’t look like anyone will stop them. Those pesky Patriots lead the division, but they get to play them at home in two weeks. October game with big playoff implications.. 150.86. . Buffalo Bills. 2. team

With all the injuries and all the doubters, Mike Zimmer still pushed this team to fight. Fight they have right to 5-0 record and possibly the best defense in the league. The offense doesn’t light the scoreboard on fire, but Minnesota committed exactly zero turnovers in the first five weeks.. 184.25. . Minnesota Vikings. 1. team. 60
