Washington Redskins The Redskins have lost three of their last four games, and their season is pretty much on the line Sunday at the Giants.

Dallas Cowboys Even if quarterback Tony Romo can only come back for a couple of games, it would still be worthwhile because he could get used to head coach Jason Garrett's new regime, and that would be beneficial for next season.

Cleveland Browns Is Browns running back Peyton Hillis more like Mike Alstott or Jerome Bettis? Longevity will decide the answer to that question.

Last week: No. 24 Record: 4 – 7
San Francisco 49ers The 49ers have the distinction of winning the least significant Monday night matchup of the season, so they've got that going for them, which is nice.
25
Last week: No. 25 Record: 5 – 6
Seattle Seahawks The Seahawks allowed Chiefs defensive tackle Shaun Smith to score a rushing touchdown against them Sunday. That means Smith has one fewer rushing touchdown than Seattle's leading runner.

Last week: No. 19 Record: 5 – 6
Tennessee Titans The debate in Tennessee over the last week has surrounded which person the organization will dump after the season: head coach Jeff Fisher or quarterback Vince Young. (The answer here would be Young.) But with a few more losses like Sunday's 20-0 defeat in Houston, the Titans might be tempted to move forward without both of their leading men.

Last week: No. 27 Record: 2 – 9
Buffalo Bills Running back Fred Jackson was the forgotten man at the start of the season, but he's got a career-high five touchdowns and his second-most rushing yards (621).

Last week: No. 28 Record: 3 – 8
Denver Broncos It's hard to make a case for Josh McDaniels to keep his head coaching gig after this season, but here's one arguing point: The Broncos have had a different defensive coordinator during each of McDaniels' two seasons, and they lost their best defensive player, outside linebacker Elvis Dumervil, for all of 2010. Not many second-year head coaches would ever survive under those circumstances.

Last week: No. 29 Record: 2 – 9
Cincinnati Bengals It's probably time to add the Bengals to the mix of teams that should take a long, hard look at one of the three franchise-caliber quarterbacks who are expected to enter April's draft.

Last week: No. 30 Record: 3 – 8
Arizona Cardinals Arizona managed just 203 yards of offense in a miserable home loss to the 49ers on Monday night, effectively ending the possibility of a third straight return to the playoffs for the Cardinals.

Last week: No. 31 Record: 2 – 9
Detroit Lionis Quarterback Shaun Hill's compete level is off the charts, but his arm strength is an amazing liability.

Last week: No. 32 Record: 1 – 10
Carolina Panthers Amid a season with so much uncertainty at the quarterback position, Sunday's loss to Jake Delhomme and the Browns might have been the lowest point in the history of Carolina's franchise.
