1. Indianapolis Colts: Couldn't have painted a worse picture for fans in this one.

2. San Diego Chargers: Many players spent weekend recharging batteries.

3. New Orleans Saints: If they can't stop Bucs' run game, how will better teams fare?

4. Philadelphia Eagles: Jeremy Maclin tapped his sore foot down on late catch.

5. Minnesota Vikings: After losing 3-of-4, they still haven't wrapped up No. 2 seed.

6. Dallas Cowboys: Short-yardage situations still a big concern.

7. New England Patriots: Last two vs. Jags, Brady had five incomplete passes.

8. Green Bay Packers: Defense needed this performance.

9. Arizona Cardinals: Could end up facing the Packers two weeks in a row in the desert.

10. Cincinnati Bengals: Rey Maualuga was a tough loss.

11. Pittsburgh Steelers: Some more odd coaching calls late in game.

12. Houston Texans: Andre Johnson can't be stopped — especially in first half.

13. New York Jets: Strange team can win and get in.

14. Baltimore Ravens: Steamed John ­Harbaugh knows he missed big opportunity.

15. Denver Broncos: Their kickoff returners were going down like flies.

16. New York Giants: Did Osi Umenyiora hint he'd be a former Giant at season's end?

17. Atlanta Falcons: Gaining momentum heading into offseason with "pride" wins.

18. Tennessee Titans: Not the Christmas gift they hoped to deliver to Nashville.

19. Carolina Panthers: Have played great ball without DeAngelo, Gross, Otah.

20. Miami Dolphins: If you can't stop Arian Foster, maybe you don't belong in the playoffs.

21. San Francisco 49ers: Somehow, Frank Gore remains underappreciated.

22. Jacksonville Jaguars: Mike Sims-Walker the latest to over-Tweet following loss.

23. Chicago Bears: Could Lovie's job hang on Week 17 result vs. Lions?

24. Oakland Raiders: Another reason not to play Charlie Frye ... again.

25. Buffalo Bills: Only six offensive plays longer than nine yards.

26. Cleveland Browns: This Jerome ­Harrison kid will grow on you.

27. Seattle Seahawks: The sight of a team that has given up.

28. Washington Redskins: Jason ­Campbell still misses too many easy reads.

29. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Couldn't they have tried to save Morris' job sooner?

30. Kansas City Chiefs: Have allowed only 17 more points than the Giants.

31. Detroit Lions: DeAndre Levy might be the new middle linebacker.

32. St. Louis Rams: Fought hard without key players.
