5. New Orleans Saints (7-2)

The Saints tallied an NFL-record 40 first downs against Dallas, their 625 yards were the most in franchise history, their 242 rushing yards were their most since 1990 and they’ve now won 12 straight prime-time home games.

9. San Francisco 49ers (6-3)

The 49ers had two weeks to prepare for Carolina and couldn’t find the end zone once – or score after halftime. Up next? A trip to New Orleans. Ouch. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)

14. Philadelphia Eagles (5-5)

The Eagles are 0-4 at home but 5-1 on the road, as Riley Cooper – who has eight catches for 241 yards and five touchdowns in his last two games – has become arguably Nick Foles’ favorite target . (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)

15. Green Bay Packers (5-4)

Scott Tolzien actually didn’t play that bad, but Green Bay still suffered its worst home loss since 2006. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)

16. Baltimore Ravens (4-5)

The Ravens became just the second team this season to gain fewer than 200 yards and still win. Now they just need to work on Hail Mary fundamentals. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)

22. Pittsburgh Steelers (3-6)

23. St. Louis Rams (4-6)

America, meet Tavon Austin, who scored three touchdowns and totaled 310 yards against the Colts. The do-everything rookie has quite a future ahead of him. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)

27. Minnesota Vikings (2-7)

28. Atlanta Falcons (2-7)

Tony Gonzalez didn’t catch a pass until midway through the third quarter. That can’t happen – and I don’t care what defense you’re facing. (Photo by Scott Cunningham/Getty Images)
