Ballot and comments from AP Pro 32 panel voter Clifton Brown of Sporting News: Week 15 CLIFTON BROWN (Sporting News) 1. New England Patriots - No doubt they are the team to beat after dismantling Texans. 2. San Francisco 49ers - Sunday night game against Patriots could be Super Bowl preview. 3. New York Giants - David Wilson is the newest big-play weapon in a potent attack. 4. Seattle Seahawks - It's not just about Russell Wilson. This team is solid and physical. 5. Denver Broncos - Knowshon Moreno is running like he's back in college at Georgia. 6. Houston Texans - The Texans should be concerned about their leaky secondary. 7. Baltimore Ravens - Can't blame Cam Cameron anymore. It's time for Joe Flacco to deliver. 8. Atlanta Falcons - Has any 11-2 team every gotten as little respect? Don't think so. 9. Washington Redskins - Alfred Morris is the latest back to love a Mike Shanahan offense. 10. Cincinnati Bengals - Their season could come down to beating Steelers in season finale. 11. Green Bay Packers - Packers have shown renewed commitment to running game lately. 12. Chicago Bears - They're fading down the stretch for the second consecutive season. 13. Indianapolis Colts - For such a young team, they play with impressive poise. 14. Pittsburgh Steelers - Steelers have been inconsistent, but loss to Chargers was shocker. 15. Dallas Cowboys - Can't say the Cowboys have stopped competing for Jason Garrett. 16. Minnesota Vikings - Even when opponents load the box, Adrian Peterson excels. 17. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Momentum has been lost, and playoffs now look unlikely for them. 18. Cleveland Browns - I'll say it again. Pat Shurmur is making a strong case to keep his job. 19. St. Louis Rams - Jeff Fisher is showing why he was so coveted during offseason. 20. Carolina Panthers - Cam Newton looks like he's starting to blossom. That's crucial for franchise. 21. San Diego Chargers - They remain a tease under Norv Turner. Good wins, baffling losses. 22. Miami Dolphins - They face key decisions on several players, including Reggie Bush. 23. Detroit Lions - This team has flat-out underachieved. Lack of discipline has hurt. 24. New Orleans Saints - We can stop waiting for the playoff run. It's not going to happen. 25. New York Jets - Doubt if they make the playoffs. Who will they beat if they get in? 26. Buffalo Bills - If players keep griping, you have to wonder if Chan Gailey will stick. 27. Philadelphia Eagles - Playing out the string, but Nick Foles is gaining experience. 28. Kansas City Chiefs - With Dwayne Bowe gone, the Chiefs' offense really can get worse. 29. Arizona Cardinals - The Cardinals' season has disintegrated into a debacle. 30. Tennessee Titans - Jake Locker has not made the kind of progress they had hoped. 31. Jacksonville Jaguars - Some teams should be glad the season is almost over. This is one. 32. Oakland Raiders - Chiefs vs. Raiders in Week 15 won't be NFL football at its finest. --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL |
