Just call it Shocking Sunday, a day when a number of in-form, in vogue, in-the-zone teams marched into Week 16 NFL battle - and produced something insipid, incomprehensible and indescribable.
Premier League - The Play-Off Hopefuls
9. Philadelphia (no change): A 55-14 win and no promotion? Did you SEE how bad Chicago were on Sunday night?
10. New Orleans (RELEGATED - down 5): It's not the last-minute, closer-than-a-Strictly-Come-Dancing-vote finish that drops the Saints this far but three defeats in their last four. All on the road. Scoring just 12 points a game. And their play-off future is ONLY in road terms.
11. Kansas City (RELEGATED - down 5): The Chiefs have now played four times against fellow AFC play-off contenders. And won none.
12. San Diego (up 3): The Chargers will look back at their first five games - and defeats to Houston, Oakland and Tennessee - and think: Was that really 2013?
13. Baltimore (down 2): When Justin Tucker starts missing field goals after making 33 in a row from all distances, you know it's not your day. But the Ravens couldn't even claim it was their MINUTE at any stage of that home humiliation by the Patriots.
14. Pittsburgh (PROMOTED - up 3): If the Chargers are still regretting their start to the season, what must Steeler Nation now make of their 0-4 opening? Five wins in their last seven suggests this would be a team with a post-season future, if only.
15. Chicago (RELEGATED - down 7): Who were those helmeted men who turned up at Philadelphia on Sunday night? Because it sure as heck wasn't a recognisable Bears team in any phase of the game. But the run defence really took the biscuit. A unit giving up 155 yards per game was positively denuded for 289 on the ground at The Linc.
16. Dallas (PROMOTED - up 3): But for a fourth-down, last-gasp end zone pass by Tony Romo, it would have been adios, Cowboys. Now they are facing a play-off showdown future without their last-minute hero. That's some seriously bad karma in The House That Jerry Built.
Championship - The Play-Off Hopeless
17. Green Bay (RELEGATED - down 1): The Packers are still in NFC North business at 7-7-1. They have one of the NFL's top running backs in Eddie Lacy and a last-ditch shootout at Chicago. And, if you said the Bears had trouble stopping the run you would be guilty of the understatement of the year. Guess who the Bears will have to stop to reach the post-season?
18. Miami (RELEGATED - down 5): Ryan Tannehill has now been sacked a staggering 93 times in 31 games in the pros. Even David Carr, the poster child for quarterback take-downs, was decked only 91 times in his first two seasons at Houston. Carr managed only another three seasons as a starter.
19. St Louis (up 1): Zac Stacy has quietly worked his way into elite running back territory, just 42 yards short of 1,000 in only 10 games as a starter in his debut season. Not bad for a fifth-round pick out of Vanderbilt.
20. Detroit (down 2): If the Lions had wanted to get head coach Jim Schwartz sacked, they could not have done a better job with that miserable, mistake-laden display at home to the Giants.
21. NY Jets (PROMOTED - up 4): While the Lions mailed it in for their boss, the Jets put in a sturdy shift for Rex Ryan. And, while both coaches may be gone this time next week, Ryan has certainly achieved more, with less.
22. Tennessee (up 1): Nate Washington topped 100 yards receiving three times this season, and the Titans won all three. Pretty simple to know what to do next season, hey?
23. NY Giants (up 1): Can we play the Lions every week? That could be the plaintive refrain from Tom Coughlin's men. Outgained 355 yards to 279, they also lost on time of possession but, crucially, they didn't lose the turnover battle. And that's been a rarity for these Giants this term.
24. Buffalo (PROMOTED - up 2): That ferocious pass rush - a league-leading 56 sacks - does at least give rookie head coach Doug Marrone something to build on next year.
Conference - Down Among The Dead Men
25. Minnesota (RELEGATED - down 4): Following up a 48-30 win with a 42-14 shellacking will give a head coach conniptions. And Leslie Frazier needs a bout of those like he needs another quarterback meltdown. Oh, wait....
26. Tampa (down 4): All the promise of the Buccaneers' run of four wins in five games has been frittered away with two increasingly dismal defeats. Greg Schiano will be another head coach in fear of Black Monday next week.
27. Atlanta (no change): If ever one play summed up a team's season it was the freak interception that turned a near-comeback into a 10-point defeat at San Francisco. A brave showing but ultimately another empty feeling for the Falcons.
28. Jacksonville (no change): If you can't get the 'W,' at least get your retiring centre his first career reception. The Jaguars did just that for Brad Meester after 14 years in the league.
29. Cleveland (no change): It's absolutely crystal clear where the Browns will be looking first in the off-season. Their quarterback rating of 76 is good for only 25th in the league, which, frankly, is no good at all.
30. Oakland (no change): The Raiders rank 29th in QB rating. At least it's better than their Power Ranking.
31. Washington (no change): How to tease your fans - score 17 unanswered points to be poised for a morale-boosting win over Dallas. Then allow 10 points in the final 6:09. Yet another trip to the Heartbreak Hotel for Redskins followers.
32. Houston (no change): Just 31 games ago, the Texans handed Matt Schaub a $62million contract extension. That has added up to just 14 wins and the sack for Gary Kubiak. Schaub himself probably won't be far behind.
