- Cardinals (No. 22; 3-6): The window is closed.
- Cowboys (No. 23; 3-5-1): Will the trades make a difference?

- Jets (No. 29; 2-7): Relax, guy. it was only the Browns.
- Giants (No. 25; 2-8): Dysfunctional teams, dysfunctional things.
- Browns (No. 26; 2-7): Colorado Rockies, Paul DiPodesta is your problem now.
- Commanders (No. 27; 3-7): They should have traded anyone they could have traded.
- Saints (No. 31; 2-8): Having the role of spoiler is better than having no role at all.
- Raiders (No. 30; 2-7): Maybe Tom Brady paid too much for his well-below-market piece of the team.
- Titans (No.32; 1-8): They’re so irrelevant that it was their bye week and nobody noticed.
