This year I'm engaging in an experiment – What if the NFL was scored like NASCAR, where every point counts, and consistency in scoring carries more weight than a win or a loss?

#7 : Chargers – 205 points – Rank 4
#8 : Steelers – 205 points – Rank 4
#9 : Saints – 199 points – Rank 7

W/L Ranking Methodology – Win/Loss is sorted across the whole NFL by Wins (descending) and Losses (ascending).
Ties count as Losses, because they are not Wins.
Example: In Week 9,
The Broncos and the Cardinals are both Rank 1 with 6 Wins and 1 Loss, while the Patriots, Cowboys, Lions, Titans, and Rams are Rank 2 with 6 Wins and 2 Losses.
