Week 10 of the NFL season is in the books. There are no new obituaries, but the Rams are on life support. Here's this week's Hierarchy/Obituary.
GRAVEYARD
HIERARCHY
If you took Case Keenum's career numbers and compared them with the starting quarterbacks in the NFL this season, here is where he would rank:
| Case Keenum | Stat | Rank |
| QB rating | 72.2 | 31 |
| Completion % | 55.2% | 32 |
| Yards per attempt | 6.65 | 29 |
Nick Foles was so bad that the Rams benched him for Keenum. This team is nearly dead.
9) Redskins (4-5)
Ugh. Now they're all doing it:
For the sake of getting my money's worth on this video, here's what's going through Miles Austin's head when he plays football:
How does a not-that-talented team lead the NFC East? Well, to begin, the NFC East is awful. But also, the Giants have the best turnover differential in the NFL, and it's really not even all that close:
| Team | Turnover diff | Team | Turnove diff |
| Giants | +13 | Falcons | 0 |
| Chiefs | +8 | Bears | -1 |
| Panthers | +8 | Texans | -1 |
| Packers | +7 | 49ers | -1 |
| Patriots | +6 | Raiders | -1 |
| Bills | +5 | Broncos | -2 |
| Steelers | +5 | Dolphins | -3 |
| Rams | +4 | Saints | -4 |
| Eagles | +4 | Jaguars | -4 |
| Bengals | +3 | Browns | -5 |
| Jets | +3 | Chargers | -5 |
| Vikings | +2 | Colts | -7 |
| Seahawks | +1 | Titans | -8 |
| Cardinals | +1 | Cowboys | -8 |
| Buccaneers | 0 | Ravens | -10 |
| Redskins | 0 | Lions | -10 |
Here are the teams the Seahawks have beaten this season:
| Opponent | Wins | Losses |
| Bears | 4 | 5 |
| Lions | 2 | 7 |
| 49ers | 3 | 6 |
| Cowboys | 2 | 7 |
| TOTAL | 11 | 25 |
For the final time this season, I'm invoking my right not to write about a team coming off their bye.
Everyone keeps ignoring the Vikings, and they just keep winning. Five in a row. Seriously though -- Has anyone watched a Vikings game from start to finish this year?
During their three game skid, the Packers have not been able to run the ball, and it has gotten progressively worse:
| Opponent | Rush | Yards | YPC | TD |
| Broncos | 21 | 90 | 4.3 | 1 |
| Packers | 19 | 71 | 3.7 | 0 |
| Lions | 18 | 47 | 2.6 | 0 |
| TOTAL | 58 | 208 | 3.6 | 1 |
Old sellout friend Sheil Kapadia is impressed with the Cardinals in his new gig covering the Seattle Seahawks:
I'm inclined to agree, but for the purposes of the hierarchy, clearly the undefeated team has to be No. 1.
The Panthers won't go undefeated, but here is their schedule the rest of the way:
| Opponent | Wins | Losses |
| Redskins | 4 | 5 |
| Cowboys | 2 | 7 |
| Saints | 4 | 6 |
| Falcons | 6 | 3 |
| Giants | 5 | 5 |
| Falcons | 6 | 3 |
| Buccaneers | 4 | 5 |
As you can see, the Panthers have just one team remaining on their schedule (the Falcons, twice) who have a winning record, and they have recently revealed themselves to be frauds.
You can go ahead and pencil in Carolina for a first round bye.
