20. New York Jets (16)

One would think a team that records seven sacks against their opponent would end up winning the game, right? Not if that team happens to be the New York Jets after they came up short in the 23-22 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

At the end of the day, A.J. Green was just too much for Darrelle Revis and the Jet’s defense to handle as the wide receiver had a field day on offense after catching 12 passes for 180 yards and a touchdown. As for the quarterback who was sacked seven times, Andy Dalton had an impressive game of his own by throwing for 366 yards with a touchdown and an interception on 23 of 30 passing.

Despite the loss, there’s no reason for New York to hit the panic button yet as they entered the game knowing Cincinnati would be a tough AFC battle. Plus, it was good to see Matt Forte (155 yards from the line of scrimmage) waste no time with getting involved on offense.
