From top to bottom

Free Press sports writer Kirkland Crawford breaks down the three best and worst teams, plus ranks the Lions:

1

Texans

Houston remains atop the heap at 11-1 with a possible AFC title preview at New England looming tonight.

2

Broncos

Winners of eight straight (10-3), Peyton Manning's team is the dark horse (pardon the pun) to reach the Super Bowl.

3

Falcons

Yes, they're 11-2, but they were down, 23-0, to the Panthers before losing Sunday. That knocks them down a peg.

25

Frostbite

Another season, another loss in the state of Wisconsin. The NFL draft can't come soon enough for these guys.

30

Raiders

No shame in losing to Peyton Manning, Denver. But a 3-10 record? Shameful.

31

Chiefs

K.C. (2-11) fell at Cleveland and lost top receiver Dwayne Bowe to a rib injury.

32

Jaguars

Jacksonville fans watched Tim Tebow sit on sideline as Jags (2-11) lost to the Jets.
