Ballot and comments from AP Pro 32 panel voter Chris Berman of ESPN:

Week 14

CHRIS BERMAN (ESPN)

  1. New England Patriots - Hard to keep out of the top spot when all you do is win.
  1. Houston Texans - If this were BCS, Monday Night would be the title game.
  1. Atlanta Falcons - Ending Drew Brees' streak a major feather in cap on way to division title.
  1. San Francisco 49ers - Kaepernick was bound to be human.
  1. Denver Broncos - Peyton Manning wins another division title, just a different division.
  1. Baltimore Ravens - Had chance for knockout punch, instead lost 15-round decision.
  1. Pittsburgh Steelers - As usual, when back is to the wall is when Steelers are at their best.
  1. Green Bay Packers - Important division win.
  1. New York Giants - East won't be a cakewalk after all.
  1. Seattle Seahawks - Russell Wilson TD passes essentially won game twice on the road.
  1. Chicago Bears - Three of four remaining games on road; be careful.
  1. Indianapolis Colts - Now that they can win in clutch on the road, watch out.
  1. Cincinnati Bengals - Steady Eddie behind dandy Andy.
  1. New Orleans Saints - You can set your watch to when Drew Brees does not throw a touchdown pass; once every four years.
  1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Honoring 10-year anniversary of Super Bowl team on Sunday.
  1. Washington Redskins - RG3, welcome to Monday Night madness.
  1. Minnesota Vikings - AP is superhuman.
  1. Dallas Cowboys - Somehow back in the hunt.
  1. St. Louis Rams - 1-0-1 versus San Francisco, 4-0-1 versus division.
  1. Detroit Lions - Mastering art of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
  1. San Diego Chargers - Should sign Trevor Hoffman to close games.
  1. Buffalo Bills - Three of last four at home.
  1. Cleveland Browns - Formidable down the stretch.
  1. Miami Dolphins - Played Patriots tough.
  1. New York Jets - Should start Richard Todd.
  1. Carolina Panthers - Too young to follow up Monday Night Football success with another win.
  1. Arizona Cardinals - Should start Randy Johnson
  1. Philadelphia Eagles - How did this happen?
  1. Jacksonville Jaguars - Two in a row too much to ask.
  1. Kansas City Chiefs - Romeo Crennel's class and Brady Quinn's words win the week.
  1. Tennessee Titans - Still need Music City Miracle.
  1. Oakland Raiders - Surprised that it's this bad.
