18.) New Orleans Saints (4-5)

The Saints once again had an extremely entertaining game to watch in Week 9, as they were in a shootout for the second straight week. Unlike against the Giants, the Saints were unable to win this shootout at home against the Titans. Drew Brees played very well once again, as he totaled 387 passing yards and three passing touchdowns. The Saints’ defense really let them down in Week 9, as losing at home to the Titans is a tough pill to swallow.

17.) Indianapolis Colts (4-5)

The Colts desperately needed a win, and despite a tough matchup against the Broncos. Andrew Luck was able to lead them to a win. Against his predecessor, Luck totaled 252 passing yards and two passing touchdowns. Turnovers have been a problem for Luck and the Colts all year, but they played a clean game against the Broncos, and that resulted in a win. They might be under .500, but the Colts are still in first place in the AFC South.

16.) Buffalo Bills (4-4)

The Bills were healthy in Week 9 against the Dolphins, and they looked very impressive in the win. Tyrod Taylor made his return to the lineup in Week 9, and he totaled 181 passing yards, one passing touchdown, and 44 rushing yards. The Bills’ rushing attack was very good, as LeSean McCoy and Karlos Williams both totaled more than 100 rushing yards in the win. Rex Ryan will be making his return to New York to face the Jets on Thursday Night Football with a lot on the line.
