24.) Chicago Bears (2-5)

The Bears put up another good fight in Week 8 against the Vikings, but a few mistakes down the stretch led to their fifth loss of the season. The big positive from the loss was the play of Alshon Jeffery, who totaled 10 receptions, 116 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown. The Bears did lose running back Matt Forte to a knee injury during the game which will greatly affect their offense if he is out for any amount of time.

23.) Houston Texans (3-5)

The Texans were victorious against the woeful Titans in Week 8, as Brian Hoyer continues to play well as the starting quarterback. In the win, Hoyer totaled 235 passing yards and two passing touchdowns. DeAndre Hopkins continues to prove he is one of the best wide receivers in football, as he totaled eight receptions, 94 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown. J.J. Watt made an impact on the defensive side of the ball, as he totaled 2.5 sacks in the win.

22.) Indianapolis Colts (3-5)

The Colts looked like they were on their way to a bad loss on Monday Night Football to the Panthers, but they showed a lot of life in the fourth quarter and made it an exciting game. The sloppy conditions led to sloppy football and mistakes by Luck. Three interceptions by Luck hurt the Colts in this game, but it was one of the better quarters of the season by the Colts in the fourth on Monday Night Football, which is something they can take out of the loss as a positive.
