1 Baltimore
The Ravens were 13-3 last season. They're 4-11 -- a league-high nine-win stumble -- and were the only team to lose to Miami.
2 Chicago
The Bears went from 13-3, the No. 1 seed in the NFC and the Super Bowl to a defending champion that faded quickly and quietly.
3 New York Jets
The Jets went from an up-and-coming team coached by "Mangenius" to a 3-12 squad that's in contention for the No. 2 overall pick in the draft.
4 Chiefs
They went from a 9-7 playoff team to a 4-11 outfit that's even uncharacteristically bad at home.
5 Saints
They were 10-6, a No. 2 seed and one game from the Super Bowl last season. Now, they're 7-8 and need help from two others to make the playoffs. In the NFC!
