12. New York Jets, 2-7
The New York Jets have lost four games in a row and are just not making any sort of notable progress in year two of the Aaron Glenn era. I am sure the Jets were excited to bring Glenn back to the franchise as a head coach after playing for them, but it has just not worked out at all.
In fact, I am not sure Glenn is even deserving of coaching out the rest of the season. That might be harsh, but what have the Jets improved on this year? I guess if you want to look at the bright side, the team has three first-round picks in the 2027 NFL Draft and do appear to have a really encouraging rookie class.
General Manager Darren Mougey can absolutely 'cook' here and take this roster up a notch, but that will also only happen if the right coaching staff is brought in. Until those major changes are made, the Jets are going to continue circling the drain, as they have done for years. They're No. 12 in our AFC power rankings.
11. Baltimore Ravens, 4-5
The Baltimore Ravens will likely start Jacoby Brissett for as long as they need do, as the Ravens made a trade with the Arizona Cardinals recently to add Brissett, as both Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley are hurt. The Ravens did have something good going for them to kick off the 2026 season, but any time you lose a starting QB, all bets are off, and the entire season is essentially over when you lose the backup, too.
It's going to be a struggle for the Ravens to win games down the stretch, but I suppose if they hang around long enough, Jackson could return late in the season and push for a Wild Card spot, but that even feels very optimistic.
