Tyler Lauletta  Â
- We're on to Week 10 of the NFL season, with the Chiefs and Eagles sitting atop their respective conferences.
- Below, we rank every team through the first half of the season.
32. Houston Texans
Record: 1-6-1
Week 9 result: Lost to the Eagles, 29-17
Week 10 opponent: at New York Giants
Highlight of the year: It's been a long season for the Houston Texans, but the emergence of rookie running back Dameon Pierce is a great sign for the future. This dude runs angry.

31. Pittsburgh Steelers
Record: 2-6
Week 9 result: Bye
Week 10 opponent: vs. New Orleans Saints
Highlight of the year: Before the Steelers' season went down the drain, they opened the year with an astounding upset win over the Bengals. Defensive superstar Minkah Fitzpatrick scored the very first touchdown of their season.

30. Carolina Panthers
Record: 2-7
Week 9 result: Lost to the Bengals, 42-21
Week 10 opponent: vs. Atlanta Falcons
Highlight of the year: While they didn't go on to win the game, PJ Walker's hail mary to force overtime against the Atlanta Falcons is the most stunning throw of the NFL season thus far.

29. Indianapolis Colts
Record: 3-5-1
Week 9 result: Lost to the Patriots, 26-3
Week 10 opponent: at Las Vegas Raiders
Highlight of the year: The Colts are falling apart before our eyes, but in Week 3, they pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the season with a win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Rookie tight end Jelani Woods' first two career receptions went for touchdowns, including the game-winner with just seconds left on the clock.

28. Las Vegas Raiders
Record: 2-6
Week 9 result: Lost to the Jaguars, 27-20
Week 10 opponent: vs. Indianapolis Colts
Highlight of the year: Davante Adams' first season with the Raiders has not gone according to plan, but this breakaway play against the Jaguars was a brief glimpse of what Las Vegas had hoped would be a regular connection this year.
—Las Vegas Raiders (@Raiders) November 6, 2022
27. Jacksonville Jaguars
Record: 3-6
Week 9 result: Beat the Raiders, 27-20
Week 10 opponent: at Kansas City Chiefs
Highlight of the year: Despite having just three wins on the season, things are looking up for the Jaguars in their first year since the departure of disastrous head coach Urban Meyer. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence is finding his stride in his second year under center, and has made some beautiful throws that make it easy to see why he was the top pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
—NFL (@NFL) September 25, 2022
26. Detroit Lions
Record: 2-6
Week 9 result: Beat the Packers, 15-9
Week 10 opponent: at Chicago Bears
Highlight of the year: The Detroit Lions defense has allowed more points per game (29.3) than any other team in the NFL. That struggle made holding the Green Bay Packers to just nine points on Sunday — including three red zone interceptions of Aaron Rodgers — that much sweeter.
—NFL (@NFL) November 6, 2022
25. Cleveland Browns
Record: 3-5
Week 9 result: Bye
Week 10 opponent: at Miami Dolphins
Highlight of the year: Nick Chubb is the best running back in football, and it's because of plays like this.
—NFL (@NFL) October 9, 2022
24. Green Bay Packers
Record: 3-6
Week 9 result: Lost to the Lions, 15-9
Week 10 opponent: vs. Dallas Cowboys
Highlight of the year: Aaron Rodgers has struggled to find players to throw to since the departure of superstar wide receiver Davante Adams, but this catch by rookie Romeo Doubs was one of the best of the year.
—NFL (@NFL) October 31, 2022
23. New Orleans Saints
Record: 3-6
Week 9 result: Lost to the Ravens, 27-13
Week 10 opponent: at Pittsburgh Steelers
Highlight of the year: I regret to inform you that Taysom Hill is at it again.
—NFL (@NFL) October 19, 2022
22. Arizona Cardinals
Record: 3-6
Week 9 result: Lost to the Seahawks, 31-21
Week 10 opponent: at Los Angeles Rams
Highlight of the year: With the game on the line against the Las Vegas Raiders, Kyler Murray decided to take care of business himself. There's no player quite like him in the NFL.
—NFL (@NFL) September 18, 2022
21. Washington Commanders
Record: 4-5
Week 9 result: Lost to the Vikings, 20-17
Week 10 opponent: at Philadelphia Eagles
Highlight of the year: Taylor Heinicke didn't start the season as the Commanders' top quarterback, but he's played hard enough in the opportunities he's gotten that it doesn't look like he'll be giving up the job this year.
—Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) November 6, 2022
20. Chicago Bears
Record: 3-6
Week 9 result: Lost to the Dolphins, 35-32
Week 10 opponent: vs. Detroit Lions
Highlight of the year: The Chicago Bears have finally started to unleash Justin Fields, and we are all grateful for it. In Week 9 he broke the NFL regular season record for rushing yards by a quarterback with 178, including 61 yards on this play.
—NFL (@NFL) November 6, 2022
19. Denver Broncos
Record: 3-5
Week 9 result: Bye
Week 10 opponent: at Tennessee Titans
Highlight of the year: Broncos country. Let's ride.
—NFL (@NFL) October 30, 2022
18. Atlanta Falcons
Record: 4-5
Week 9 result: Lost to the Chargers, 20-17
Week 10 opponent: at Carolina Panthers
Highlight of the year: Cordarrelle Patterson finally blossomed into the player many hoped he would be as a weapon in the Falcons offense last season. Aside from some missed time due to injury this year, he hasn't missed a step.
—Atlanta Falcons (@AtlantaFalcons) November 6, 2022
17. Los Angeles Rams
Record: 3-5
Week 9 result: Lost to the Buccaneers, 16-13
Week 10 opponent: vs. Arizona Cardinals
Highlight of the year: The Rams look like a shell of the team that won the Super Bowl last year, but Cooper Kupp is still one of the most dangerous weapons in all of football. Every opponent knows he's getting the ball, but somehow, Kupp still gets his yards.
—NFL (@NFL) November 6, 2022
16. New England Patriots
Record: 5-4
Week 9 result: Beat the Colts, 26-3
Week 10 opponent: Bye
Highlight of the year: Most of the Patriots' offensive success this year has come in the run game, but Nelson Agholor had a Catch of the Year candidate back in a Week 2 win over the Steelers.
—NFL (@NFL) September 18, 2022
15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Record: 4-5
Week 9 result: Beat the Rams, 16-13
Week 10 opponent: vs. Seattle Seahawks
Highlight of the year: After struggles through the entire first half of the season, the best play of the Buccaneers year was their entire final drive down the field during the final seconds of Week 9 to steal a win over the Rams.
—NFL Films (@NFLFilms) November 8, 2022
14. Cincinnati Bengals
Record: 5-4
Week 9 result: Beat the Panthers, 42-21
Week 10 opponent: Bye
Highlight of the year: It feels like they start setting up Christmas decorations earlier every year.
—NFL (@NFL) November 6, 2022
13. San Francisco 49ers
Record: 4-4
Week 9 result: Bye
Week 10 opponent: vs. Los Angeles Chargers
Highlight of the year: Christian McCaffrey made an immediate splash when he joined the 49ers, scoring with a pass, run, and catch in just his second game with the team. The best play of the three was probably the catch, although the throw was pretty cool too.
—NFL (@NFL) October 30, 2022
12. Los Angeles Chargers
Record: 5-3
Week 9 result: Beat the Falcons, 20-17
Week 10 opponent: at San Francisco 49ers
Highlight of the year: Mike Williams may be the most underrated receiver in the NFL. He can make any catch.
—NFL (@NFL) September 16, 2022
11. Seattle Seahawks
Record: 6-3
Week 9 result: Beat the Cardinals, 31-21
Week 10 opponent: at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Highlight of the year: No one predicted that Geno Smith would take over for Russell Wilson and be an upgrade at quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, and yet here we are.
—NFL (@NFL) November 6, 2022
10. New York Giants
Record: 6-2
Week 9 result: Bye
Week 10 opponent: vs. Houston Texans
Highlight of the year: After disappointing seasons in 2020 and 2021, fans were ready for Saquon Barkley to be back at his best. In Week 1, he announced his comeback with a bang with this run against the Titans.
—New York Giants (@Giants) September 11, 2022
9. Tennessee Titans
Record: 5-3
Week 9 result: Lost to the Chiefs, 20-17
Week 10 opponent: vs. Denver Broncos
Highlight of the year: Barring a miracle elsewhere on the roster, the Titans' best play will always come from Derrick Henry.
—NFL (@NFL) November 7, 2022
8. Miami Dolphins
Record: 6-3
Week 9 result: Beat the Bears, 35-32
Week 10 opponent: vs. Cleveland Browns
Highlight of the year: The dynamic receiving duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle have made too many stunning plays to count this year, but the Dolphins memory I will take most from 2022 is without a doubt the butt punt. Here it is in super slow motion.
—Timothy Burke (@bubbaprog) September 26, 2022
7. New York Jets
Record: 6-3
Week 9 result: Beat the Bills, 20-17
Week 10 opponent: Bye
Highlight of the year: Before his season was cut short due to injury, rookie running back Breece Hall established himself as one of the most exciting young players in the league.
—New York Jets (@nyjets) October 9, 2022
6. Buffalo Bills
Record: 6-2
Week 9 result: Lost to the Jets, 20-17
Week 10 opponent: vs. Minnesota Vikings
Highlight of the year: Third-and-10. Standing on your own two-yard line. What does Josh Allen do? How about a 98-yard touchdown pass over the top of the defense.

5. Dallas Cowboys
Record: 6-2
Week 9 result: Bye
Week 10 opponent: at Green Bay Packers

2. Kansas City Chiefs
Record: 6-2
Week 9 result: Beat the Titans, 20-17
Week 10 opponent: vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Highlight of the year: Patrick Mahomes plays a style of quarterback that can be best described as: "Don't try this at home."
