New Orleans Saints – Worst Defense in NFL History
Having Drew Brees and the number one passing offense in the NFL (316 yards per game) has been little help to none for the New Orleans Saints, falling to a 2-5 record as its defense had another terrible game on its way to becoming one of the worst, statistically, in the history of the NFL.

Kansas City Chiefs – Worst Team in NFL History
The 1-6 record makes sure the 2012 version of the Kansas City Chiefs doesn’t go win-less this season, but there’s so just so many things that are wrong with his team apart from having a work horse of a running back in Jamaal Charles, which pretty much ends anything positive about this team.

There’s only one win separating these division rivals, but the current momentum and the overall talent disparity on both sides of the ball makes this one almost impossible to win for the Arizona Cardinals, while all the usual advantages the San Francisco 49ers have should be enough to pull them through another game that could turn into a slug-fest.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Doug Martin Makes Josh Freeman Look Great
The most incredible stat to draw out of Josh Freeman leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 36-17 win over the Minnesota Vikings?
