It's been an unusual NFL season with surprising teams ascending to the top of the standings. For that to happen, a surprising group of underachieving clubs needed to fall on really hard times in order to make room.

So will the Baltimore Ravens after surrendering a late lead to the New England Patriots on what could prove to be the straw that broke the camel's back in what has been a woefully inadequare 7-8 campaign.
Dan Orlovsky made the case that Baltimore's foibles make them the team with most to lament, barring a late surge.
