While NFL fans look at the Jacksonville Jaguars and the upcoming draft and think quarterback, signal-caller isn't actually the long-standing issue the team might have the easiest time solving with the No. 2 pick. Sure, the Jaguars need a quarterba...

Houston needed a big comeback and overtime to beat Jacksonville, but it didn't hurt the Texans' standing in ESPN.com's NFL Power Rankings. They are the unanimous No. 1, and deservingly so. The Jaguars' good showing did nothing to help them, as ...

Even with the Texans' win in Chicago last night, the standings say the Colts are in range of the Texans in the AFC South. Houston is 8-1, Indianapolis is 6-3. The Colts, obviously, have no control over what happens with the Texans until Weeks 1...

Friday's chat was abbreviated, so we sprinted instead of jogging. Among the topics we covered: Duane Brown's standing among the best left tackles. Gene Smith's job security. The extent of the Titans' troubles. My stance on fullbacks. J...

Reading the coverage... What changes when the regular officials are back? ESPN Stats & Information takes a look. Houston Texans Left tackle Duane Brown says the officials will get a standing ovation when they take the field, says John McClain ...

Three things to pay special attention to in Titans at Seahawks tonight: The quarterbacks, of course: In my thinking, Matt Hasselbeck won't alter his standing much unless he's bad in his starting stint against his former team. It's Jake Locker who ...

We hit the AFC South's standing in ESPN's initial fantasy football rankings, including Texans running back Arian Foster as No.1, in this post. A lot of other great stuff to get you thinking about your draft strategy is also out, and I wanted to sh...

Power Rankings voters haven't let the Texans' personnel losses hurt the team's standing much. Despite losing Mario Williams and Mike Brisiel as free agents, cutting right tackle Eric Winston and trading inside linebacker DeMeco Ryans, the Texans a...

A close friend of Dwight Freeney's doesn't expect the Colts defensive end to go for the idea of standing up and working as a 3-4 outside linebacker in a new defensive scheme. Former Titans and Giants linebacker Keith Bulluck, a long-time friend of...

Miami's win in Kansas City finally got the Colts to a unanimous spot in our standings. The Colts got the last place vote of all five of our panelists, including yours truly. Indianapolis is 32nd in every way in the new edition of the ESPN.com NFL ...

Yesterday, I said let's not throw a parade quite yet over the Houston Texans' defensive standing. John Choi of ESPN Stats & Info saw it and did what the good people there do -- he looked to see what the numbers say. He was kind enough to se...

One game that doesn't count in the standings doesn't give us a lot. But out of the Titans' Saturday night win against the Vikings, I saw one change that I think is highly representative of what's going on at the start of the Mike Munchak era. Two ...

HOUSTON -- We can over hype the change. Guys like Mario Williams and Connor Barwin and Jesse Nading used to have "DE" designations next to their names on the roster. Now they have "OLB." They go to different meeting rooms. They hear from different...

The Colts lead the AFC South into the 2011 ESPN.com NFL Power Rankings, standing eighth in our first poll. I'm one of five voters, along with John Clayton, Ashley Fox, Mike Sando and James Walker on this year's panel. That means if you've got a be...
