1 Seahawks 4-11
To be this bad in the putrid NFC West in Mike Holmgren's farewell season is plain awful.
2 Packers 5-10

3 Jaguars 5-10
So much for Jack Del Rio having turned the corner last season.
4 Browns 4-11
So much for the trendy preseason playoff pick.
5 Cowboys 9-6
The NFL's most talented team is one loss in Philly from missing the playoffs.

Not everybody is fixated on which quarterback the Vikings should take in the draft.
Brian Flores, the team's defensive coordinator, thinks "you can never have enough" cornerbacks.
