Five biggest underachievers

November 27, 2008 at 1:31AM

1 Chargers 4-7

If the Patriots can be 7-4 without Tom Brady, the Chargers can be better than 4-7 without Shawne Merriman.

2 Browns 4-7

They won 10 games last year and beat the Giants this year. Bunch a chokin' Dawgs.

3 Seahawks 2-9

Injuries aren't the only reason Seattle is 2-9 for the first time since 1992.

4 Cowboys 7-4

They have too much talent to be trailing the Giants by three games.

5 Eagles 5-5-1

They have too much talent to have their season turn south with a tie against Cincinnati.
