16. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-2-1)

Outside of a dominant second quarter, the Pittsburgh Steelers couldn’t get anything going offensively against a strong Ravens defense. Maybe the Steelers miss Le’Veon Bell more than it initially appeared. Pittsburgh hosts Atlanta this week, and both teams desperately need a win.

15. Atlanta Falcons (1-3)

The Atlanta Falcons have now two straight at home. The injuries on defense are a real concern, and despite Matt Ryan‘s best efforts, they fell short against the Bengals. A loss at Pittsburgh this week could put Atlanta in real trouble. Despite all of the talent on offense, the defense ranks 28th in the league and can’t get off the field.

14. Los Angeles Chargers (2-2)

Despite going down 14-0, the Los Angeles Chargers avoided the upset at home to San Francisco, largely down to another excellent performance by Melvin Gordon. Gordon had 15 carries for 104 yards, and caught seven passes for 55 yards and a touchdown. It’s not been a perfect start to 2018 for the Chargers, but they will be expected to get above .500 at home to Oakland this week.

13. Tennessee Titans (3-1)

Maybe I’ve been underestimating this Tennessee Titans team. They now have three straight victories, including wins over the Jaguars and Super Bowl-champion Eagles. Corey Davis finally had the breakout game we’ve been waiting for, catching nine passes for 151 yards and a touchdown. It’s a huge win for the Titans, who are at Buffalo this week.
