1Titans (0-4)
It didn't help that three of the first four games were on the road. But this was a 13-3 team a year ago.
2Panthers (0-3)
The next three weeks -- Washington, at Tampa Bay, Buffalo -- could turn things around. If not, ugh.
3Cardinals (1-2)
The defending NFC champions are coming off a bye after getting spanked 31-10 at home by Indy.
4Steelers (2-2)
The AFC North is too tough to start slow. But don't panic. Next up: at Detroit. On deck: home vs. Cleveland.
5Dolphins (1-3)
After an 11-5 season, Miami could be 1-6 after facing the Saints at home and the Jets and Pats on the road.
