There are no unbeaten teams in the sport, and only two teams have one loss. On the flip side, the league has just one winless team left and a whopping 14 teams with 3-5 wins before Week 10 action begins.
The league is wide open this year, and that isn't an exaggeration or any sort of cliche statement. There also might not be many legitimate Super Bowl contenders, but there are a lot of competent, playoff-caliber teams at the moment.
As we get into the unofficial second-half of the season, the playoff races in both conferences will heat up, leading us to a dramatic finish even before the playoffs begin. There are four teams in football that have 7 wins, which is the most in the sport right now. We ranked those four teams here.
Ranking the four 7-win teams as Week 10 begins
4. Denver Broncos, 7-2
The Denver Broncos have won five games in a row and are again winning games in the second half and by razor-thin margins. Those who said this close winning wouldn't be able to be maintained this year appear to be wrong. It's just wild to see how this team consistently wins like this, as their 16 one-score victories in a row is the longest streak in the history of the NFL.
We have seen the offense struggle at times, and in terms of yardage, the defense has regressed. This team's identity is still on the defensive side of the ball, and they still appear to have the most clutch quarterback in the sport in Bo Nix, but there still isn't a ton of consistency with this team from start to finish. It almost seems like the lightbulb flickers on for the Broncos when the second half rolls around.
3. Buffalo Bills, 7-1
Yes, the Buffalo Bills blew out the Minnesota Vikings in their house in Week 9, but the Bills defense has still been a problem this year. That unit has allowed 10 and 6 points over the last two games, but both of those games have come against backup or even third-string QBs, so it's a bit misleading.
All in all, the offense is still capable of putting up a ton of points, as Josh Allen is still doing his thing, but unless this defense can figure something out down the stretch, Buffalo's quest for a Super Bowl might again be derailed. This is still an excellent team, let's not get that twisted, but they're a flawed team as well.
