The NFL is nearing the mid-season point, and it feels as though it’s time to start accepting some realities of this season.
For instance, a few teams that were expected to be bad, and at times have looked bad, like the Bills, Rams, and Dolphins, are several games over .500. On the other hand, some teams we expected to play well have faltered and may not be able to recover.
Meanwhile, there is a lot to still be decided, as five teams have .500 records while a few potential heavyweights, like the Raiders and Ravens, are at 3-4 and trying to stay alive in the playoff hunt.
Take a look at where each team stands as we head into Week 8.
32. Cleveland Browns

Record: 0-7
Last week: Lost to the Titans, 13-9
This week: vs. Minnesota Vikings
One thing to know: The Browns are sticking with DeShone Kizer at quarterback in Week 8, despite now owning a 3-to-11 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Each passing day, the decision to pass on Carson Wentz must look worse in Cleveland.
31. San Francisco 49ers

Record: 0-7
Last week: Lost to the Cowboys 40-10
This week: at Philadelphia Eagles
One thing to know: The Niners’ streak of close losses came to an end on Sunday with a walloping at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys. Things aren’t likely to get easier as San Francisco continues the hunt for its first win and now travel to Philadelphia to play the surging Eagles.
30. New York Giants

Record: 1-6

This week: Bye
