Teams are jockeying for draft positions and playoff spots with all 32 teams having just four games left to play. With most of the season already decided, it’s time to evaluate each team’s performance. Some teams have earned an A+, while others are flunking their way to an F. How does your team’s NFL report card look before Week 15?
Five consecutive losses is about as bad as it gets, or at least we hope. The Cardinals’ latest loss was by a whopping 28 points, making it easily their biggest loss of the season. With a 15-32 record across three seasons, we can’t help but wonder how much longer coach Jonathan Gannon will be in Arizona.
Kirk Cousins isn’t doing himself any favors if he wants to become a starting quarterback again. The same could be said for coach Raheem Morris in his second stint as an NFL head coach.

The Bills could have easily folded against Joe Burrow’s high-powered Bengals offense, especially playing in the snow. But they didn’t. We instead saw Josh Allen put forth his best rushing performance of the season, leading to Buffalo’s sixth game with over 400 yards of offense. With just two more potential playoff opponents on the schedule, it looks like the Bills are returning to the postseason for the seventh year in a row under coach Sean McDermott.
The Panthers were able to celebrate their biggest win of the season by enjoying a bye week. While their playoff hopes are still alive, at 7-6, their odds are pretty slim. Though with matchups against the Saints, Bucs twice, and the Seahawks, the Panthers still have a fighting chance, especially if Bryce Young can continue his stellar play.
The Bears lost their first-place lead of the NFC North with a loss to the Packers, but they’re still in prime position to make the playoffs in Ben Johnson’s first season as head coach. While Chicago has a top-ten scoring offense, it’s not because of Caleb Williams. It’s because they have the NFL’s second-most rushing yards and a defense that isn’t losing them games.
While it’s not official, the Bengals’ season is practically over after falling to...
