High 5

1. Indianapolis Colts

With Peyton Manning & Co. clicking, the Colts look unbeatable

2. Cincinnati Bengals

Bengals won the battle of Ohio and took over the division lead

3. Seattle Seahawks

Seattle found its run game, and its defense crushed the Cardinals

4. New England Patriots

Pats went up 24-0, then let the Jets get 17 against their reserves

5. Chicago Bears

What's this? The Monsters of the Midway running up the score?

Low 5

32. Oakland Raiders

Raider Nation is in for a long (and likely scoreless) season

31. Green Bay Packers

Favre has the offense showing signs of life — but barely

30. Tennessee Titans

Vince Young saw his first action — too bad it was in 'futile' time

29. Houston Texans

Texans' 'O' scored 24, and its 'D' watched the Colts put up 43

28. Miami Dolphins

The Heat's on Saban — oops, wrong sport; that Miami team wins

Local watch

Passing fancy: Former Ute Alex Smith threw for 233 yards last Sunday, including a 72-yard TD strike to Antonio Bryant, as San Francisco beat the Rams — their oldest rivals — for the third straight time.
