Teams are rated from worst to first.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Cleveland (0-5)<\/strong> You know who\u2019s having a terrible season so far? God. Defend Him all you like: the Guy is just going through the motions. Come on, God: we\u2019ve seen you torment the Browns for the last eon. TRY SOMETHING NEW.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Buffalo (2-3)<\/strong> The Bills are giving up so much yardage so quickly that they\u2019re on pace to break the all-time record set by France in 1940.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Jacksonville (1-4)<\/strong> So the NFL has announced that in 2013 it will <em>again<\/em> be sending Jacksonville over to play a football game in London. Twice more and we\u2019ll be even for them sending us Coldplay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Tennessee (2-4)<\/strong> Despite its win over Pittsburgh, this team is a bigger train wreck than Barack Obama\u2019s debate performance wrapped in NBC\u2019s fall comedies and driven into a tree by Lindsay Lohan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. K.C. (1-4)<\/strong> Ladies and gentlemen, the Brady Quinn era is upon us. Lock up your daughters! (Otherwise, they may steal Brady\u2019s job.) On the upside, a few drives should be enough to earn Quinn an ESPY nomination in the category of Best Ryan Leaf Homage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scott Feschuk works his magic to ensure that Cleveland comes in first in at least one ranking this year: Resuming a hallowed and time-honoured tradition that dates back all the way to the beginning of this sentence, we take a break from sucking at football picks to present our Mid-Mid-Season Lack of Power Rankings.
