Top five

Belly flops in the first six weeks.

1 Chiefs' and Packers' home performance. Both teams continue to have defensive problems, but what's most shocking is they are a combined 0-5 at home.

2 Redskins' now-lock offense. Joe Gibbs wanted to establish a steady ball-control attack with Mark Brunell and Clinton Port]s, but so far, it has been a stagnant, turnover-prone unit.

3 Panthers' Super Bowl hangover. Recent Super Bowl losers couldn't seem to escape Murphy's Law the following season. The Panthers are sustaining the pattern.

4 Bengals' QB decision. Carson Palmer has made critical mistakes despite having a strong running game and a deep receiving unit to work with.
