Here’s a weekly look at the top and bottom five teams in the NFL:

1. New England Patriots (3-0)
Previous Rank: 1
The play of NE’s defense has gone largely unnoticed due to the eye-popping numbers Randy Moss has put up (22 rec. 403, 5 TDs). Yet the Pats’ D is ranked first in yardage allowed and third in points scored.

2. Indianapolis Colts (3-0)
Previous Rank: 2
The Colts have received scares the past two weeks, but quietly have the fifth ranked defense in the league.

3. Dallas Cowboys (3-0)
Previous Rank: 3
While they benefited from another terrible outing by Rex Grossman, the Cowboys took care of the Bears in Chicago with relative ease. Tony Romo looks like he’s been starting for 10 years.

4. Pittsburgh Steelers (3-0)
Previous Rank: 5
The Steelers have demonstrated a unique swagger and confidence under Mike Tomlin. He has developed a great relationship with Ben Roethlisberger, who has obviously put the 2006 season behind him.

5. Green Bay Packers (3-0)
Previous Rank: N/A
While the running game is a concern, it’s hard to argue that Mike Sherman is commanding one of the hottest teams in football right now. Going back to last year, the Pack has won seven straight.

28. New Orleans (0-3)
Previous Rank: N/A
The Saints worst nightmare has come true: Drew Brees and the offense is struggling mightily and the defense is still brutal. Now Deuce McAllister is out for the year with a knee injury.

29. St. Louis Rams (0-3)
Previous Rank: N/A
It’s amazing to think that an offense that employs Steven Jackson, Marc Bulger and Torry Holt has only averaged just over 10 points a game this year.

30. Miami Dolphins (0-3)
Previous Rank: 29
Figures – the Dolphins finally put together a great offensive performance only to watch the usually stingy defense give up 31 points to the Jets.

31. Buffalo Bills (0-3)
Previous Rank: 30
The Bills should allow rookie Trent Edwards to make his first career start this weekend. The offense can’t get be worse under him than it is when J.P. Losman is under center.

32. Atlanta Falcons (0-3)
Previous Rank: 32
Joey Harrington (361 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs) turned in the best game of his career against Carolina and the Falcons still found a way to lose.
