NFL Standings, edition after 6th week:

1. Rams (1): Now, we know that they have an all-time offense. But they will hardly need it in the playoffs, where they will play in Los Angeles, New Orleans and Atlanta.

2. Patriots (4): Sony Michel is unlikely to overtake Saquon Barkley in the ROY race, but he leads all first-year backs with 80 yards per game.

3. Saints (3): Drew Brees can reach two more milestones this Sunday: the TD No 500 pass and defeat the only team he has ever defeated, the Ravens.

4. Heads (2): As long as Eric Berry and Justin Houston are absent, this defense is allowed 500 yards. Three times – will continue to put Patrick Mahomes and Co. in difficult situations.

5. Chargers (5): Remember when Melvin Gordon was ruled out of the end zone in his 2015 rookie year? Since then, he has 33 touchdowns, more than anyone except Todd Gurley (36).

6. Ravens (10): Say hello to the new NFL No. 1 Defense. Baltimore has awarded more than 14 points only once, significantly reducing the pressure on Joe Flacco et al.

7. Steelers (11): While The Veon Watch continues its momentum, it's worth noting that the next two games of this team are against Cleveland and Baltimore. Pittsburgh has a game against AFC North in the second half.

8. Bengals (7): Maybe they are better with a wild card. Basically, they have never won a big game at the Paul Brown Stadium, the AFC 's busiest stadium.

9. Vikings (12): They scored their first face-to-face season on Sunday … and we just learned what we missed with the Kirk Cousins ​​celebrations.

10. Eagles (19): Corey Clement, who has just rested 10 days of rest in his healing team, does not deserve the chance to be brought back? Do not forget what he did at the Super Bowl.

11. Red skins (14): Washington and Dallas are only teams that alternate victories and defeats all season, and one of them will stand out after Sunday's duel.

12. Packers (15): Appears that Aaron Rodgers is gaining more and more confidence in these young receivers that he has sponsored during the training camp. Of course, A-Rod has never lost confidence in his kicker.

13. Panthers (6): If you thought that the return of Thomas Davis and Greg Olsen would give them a boost … OK, the cards on the table, we thought the same thing.

14. Dolphins (16): Brock Osweiler is your classic bandage – very effective for a very limited time before you start looking really disgusting.

15. bear (9): Speaking of Osweiler, we can only assume that Khalil Mack had pity on the man he had sacked five times in a single afternoon.

16. Falcons (21): Matt Ryan's 2016 season was starting to look like a major statistical exception, but this year's numbers approach or exceed MVP levels.

17. Seahawks (25): Recognize the legacy of Paul Allen, a discreet man who saved professional football in Seattle and turned this franchise into a force.

18. Texans (20): Winners of the last three, they play the best ball of the AFC South – a remarkable statement if you saw a putrid show against Sunday Bills.

19. Cowboys (26): Stifling D. Complementary game between Dak Prescott and Zeke Elliott. Win the battle of the business figure. They looked like 2016 Cowboys.

20. Browns (13): The defense crackles. Takeaway continues but counts for less in the last three weeks, while Cleveland has allowed nearly 100 points and 1,500 yards.

21. Jaguars (8): Jalen, how could Dallas destroy you? "I do not know." How do Jags not have AFC South? "I do not know." Are you about to separate? "I do not know."

22. jets (22): K Jason Myers had 24 points on Sunday. What does Steph Curry, James Harden and Russell Westbrook have in common? No average 24 ppg.

23. Lions (23): Fun fact (unless you're Matthew Stafford), but guess which quarterback has the most yards passing career (36,134) without a playoff win? Yep.

24. Titans (17): They have gone from more than the sum of their parts to less than the sum of their parts. There is no question that Marcus Mariota will be fired 11 times.

25. Broncos (24): They have a game in Denver before November 25th, an elixir for a team lost four times in a row and which is usually based on home cooking.

26. Buccaneers (18): Defensive coordinator Mike Smith was the first to walk on a board. Dirk Koetter, Jameis Winston could be equipped for blindfolding soon enough.

27. Colts (27): Our colleagues at the Indianapolis Star have already begun to evaluate potential candidates who will be at the top of the NFL 2019 project.

28. Invoices (28): I do not know if it would be best to hug Nathan Peterman or loop with Lawrence Taylor saying, "My son, you have to do better than that."

29. Cardinals (31): We would not want Larry Fitzgerald's father (or Larry Fitzgerald) to be angry with us, but at least this group started showing more fights week after week.

30. 49ers (32): They seem to be losing a key player by the week, but Kyle Shanahan's charges are fighting at the final whistle every time, an encouraging sign for the future.

31. Giants (29): Too bad to see that Saquon Barkley's transcendent rookie season is ruined, especially since it's a group that does not show much conflict anymore.

32. Raiders (30): Who is the next to leave? Amari Cooper? Gareon Conley? Reggie McKenzie? Jon Gruden's "The Team" has even lost his label as being the best in the Bay Area.
