12 Broncos 3-3 The Broncos survived a brutal six-game stretch and now sit at .500 with a much-needed week off. (Fox)

14 Steelers 2-3 Pittsburgh has been outscored 40-16 in the fourth quarter on the road this season. (Hensley)

17 Dolphins 3-3 In three wins, Ryan Tannehill has three touchdowns and no interceptions. In three losses, he's had one touchdown and six interceptions. (Hensley)
18 Cowboys 2-3 They looked as good in Baltimore as they have all year. Tough. Physical. And still managed to lose. (Graziano)

24 Saints 1-4 The Saints are allowing 30.8 points per game after allowing 21.2 during the 2011 season. (Sando)

26 Colts 2-3 Although the Colts may be tough to beat at home, a lot of things will have to come together for them to win on the road. (Clayton)
27 Titans 2-4 Beating the Steelers saved the Titans' season. They've got to continue to let Chris Johnson run. (Clayton)

29 Raiders 1-4 Tough, tough loss to Atlanta. But once the sting subsides, the Raiders will see many marked improvements. (Fox)
30 Browns 1-5 The last time the Browns won on the road was September 2011 and it came at Indianapolis. (Hensley)
