Watch NBC Bay Area News free wherever you are WATCH HERE After the bye, the league's best returned to their spot at the top. Here is where the 49ers sit after their 38-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders at Levi's Stadium and heading into Week 10: 32. Los Angeles Chargers (Last week: 32) Record: 0-8 Justin Herbert got absolutely murdered to the tune of eight sacks, matching the franchise record for a single game. I keep saying it, but someone has to be fired this week. San Francisco 49ers NFL 1 hour ago Winners and losers from NFL trade deadline: 49ers, Jaguars, Raiders on list Breaking News 3 hours ago How veteran WR Keenan Allen boosts depleted 49ers' biggest position of need 31. Tennessee Titans (Last week: 31) Record: 1-7 (Bye week) 30. Miami Dolphins (Last week: 30) Record: 1-7 Miami's defense has played better this season than the team's record might indicate, and they held a very good offense at bay on Sunday. 29. New York Jets (Last week: 29) Record: 2-7 The Jets hit a home run with rookie defensive end David Bailey , who finishes the week near the top of the league in sacks after two on Sunday. 28. Indianapolis Colts (Last week: 28) Record: 2-7 I'm pretty certain this was Jonathan Taylor's last game with the Colts, and oh boy, it was a stinker. That will drive the price down. 27. Philadelphia Eagles (Last week: 27) Record: 2-7 Joe Milton took a beating in his first start. It's only going to get worse. Saquon Barkley would be better off switching locker rooms after this game. 26. Washington Commanders (Last week: 25) Record: 2-5-1 Washington likely would have pulled off the upset if not for the fumbles. How the hell does this team still have a a path to the division title? 25. Arizona Cardinals (Last week: 23) Record: 3-6 This soon will become one of the most unwatchable offenses in the league, which should propel rookie Carson Beck into the starting role sooner than later. 24. New Orleans Saints (Last week: 26) Record: 3-5 Costly fumbles and terrible defense made New Orleans' win much, much, much closer than it should have been. Tyler Shough deserves better. 23. Atlanta Falcons (Last week: 20) Record: 3-6 After a historically bad performance last week on the ground, Atlanta's defense put up another stinker through the air. The Falcons should focus all resources on this side of the ball at the deadline and in the draft. 22. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Last week: 19) Record: 3-6 It was a rough night for Baker Mayfield , who might now be hurt again. I would say that the season has just about slipped away from them, but after this loss, Tampa still sits just one-half game out of first in the disgusting, disgusting NFC South. Yuck. 21. Carolina Panthers (Last week: 22) Record: 3-5 A valiant effort from Bryce Young , but you can't make many mistakes against Denver's defense, and his two turnovers proved to be costly. 20. Houston Texans (Last week: 24) Record: 3-5 One of the best games of C.J. Stroud's career included a huge game for Tank Dell . What year is it, 2023? Awesome to see the young receiver back and healthy. 19. Dallas Cowboys (Last week: 21) Record: 4-5 George Pickens was a surprise inactive, so CeeDee Lamb gave us a preview of what's to come if his fellow receiver is traded. This offense won't miss a beat. 18. Baltimore Ravens (Last week: 18) Record: 4-5 Not even Jacoby Brissett can fix this offense with Lamar Jackson out. Baltimore is about to dig itself into too big of a hole for whenever he does return. 17. Las Vegas Raiders (Last week: 17) Record: 4-5 Kirk Cousins has been pretty good this season, but I have a feeling the end is near. The three picks on Sunday were a sign of what's to come. How soon before we get meaningful Fernando Mendoza snaps? 16. Cleveland Browns (Last week: 15) Record: 5-4 Props to Shedeur Sanders . It wasn't always pretty, but he played relatively well, didn't turn the ball over and fed both of his rookie receivers in the overtime loss. 15. New York Giants (Last week: 16) Record: 5-2-1 Breakout game for star rookie Arvell Reese , who had three of New York's seven sacks on the day. 14. New England Patriots (Last week: 9) Record: 5-4 Drake Maye stunk it up with three picks and killed any and all momentum he built over the last few weeks. Back to mediocrity. 13. Los Angeles Rams (Last week: 14) Record: 5-4 Oh hey, Myles Garrett is back. Andddd Puka Nacua's injured. Things could get dicey without their top two receivers and some tough matchups coming up. 12. Seattle Seahawks (Last week: 13) Record : 5-4 Seattle was lucky to pull this out without Sam Darnold . Drew Lock wasn't bad, the offense was just very ineffective against a much inferior opponent. A win though. 11. Detroit Lions (Last week: 10) Record: 6-2 A real stinker on offense in a win against arguably the worst team in the league. Detroit probably would have lost this game against any of the 30 other teams. 10. Minnesota Vikings (Last week: 5) Record: 6-2 Minnesota is 6-2, and I would not blame Justin Jefferson one bit for requesting a trade. Just years of ineptitude at quarterback. Completely unacceptable for generational talent. And he hasn't complained much at all. He deserves so much better than this. Free him. 9. Green Bay Packers (Last week: 12) Record: 6-3 Jordan Love might have played the best game of his career, and Green Bay's receiver duo might be the best in the league. A combined 17 receptions for 335 yards and two touchdowns for Christian Watson and Matthew Golden on Sunday. 8. Cincinnati Bengals (Last week: 11) Record: 6-2 Tee Higgins scored more in this international game at Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu Stadium than Vini Jr. has there all season. Sorry, I won't pass up an opportunity to own that fraud. 7. Pittsburgh Steelers (Last week: 6) Record: 6-2 (Bye week) 6. Denver Broncos (Last week: 8) Record: 7-2 Rookie running back Jonah Coleman is the latest 'this could be the guy' in Denver. Spoiler alert: He's probably not, but he looked somewhat competent on Sunday, which is a bare minimum the Broncos have not had much of. 5. Jacksonville Jaguars (Last week: 7) Record: 6-2 Everyone talks about the takeaways, but the Jags have one of the best all-around defenses in the league, and it's why the AFC very well could run through Jacksonville. 4. Kansas City Chiefs (Last week: 4) Record : 6-2 Patrick Mahomes had another one of those 'oh damn his season is over' injury scares before returning to the game on the next drive. It's unclear if he will miss any time, but it seems like Kansas City dodged a major bullet. 3. Chicago Bears (Last week: 3) Record: 7-2 If Chicago's run game was at full strength, maybe Caleb Williams wouldn't have had to air it out over and over and over. There certainly were a few dumb mistakes -- four, to be exact -- but it's clear why he will be Chicago's first-ever 4,000-yard passer. 2. Buffalo Bills (Last week: 1) Record: 7-1 It definitely was not pretty against, perhaps, the league's best defense, but Josh Allen and Co. found a way. Buffalo's inconsistent defense deserves its flowers, too. 1. San Francisco 49ers (Last week: 2) Record: 7-1 The offense came alive without Mike Evans , the defense came through with five takeaways. The best team in the league
