  “I've divided the entire league into different groups... dead last in the NFL, I would put the Titans that's thirty two. Saints would be next, Dolphins at thirty... the Carolina Panthers... The Jets above them... The Raider, the Giants, and then at the very top of this list, the Browns... this is the number twenty one team overall, the Bears. Then the Bengals have the Patriots at twenty three and the Cowboys at twenty four... I'm putting the Vikings at the top of that list. The Jaguars are next... Stealers. Below them right in the middle of the NFL at sixteen, The Broncos at seventeen... The Texans... The Cardinals and the Falcons... number ten... The Seahawks... The Colts at eleven... The Commander's at twelve and then the forty nine ers... I'm putting the Packers... number one, the Lions and Eagles right behind them... So they're there at four, Bills at five, Ravens at six, and then the Rams, the Bucks, and... the Kansas City Chiefs”
