	MAILBAG Peter King will answer your questions each week in Monday Morning Quarterback: Tuesday Edition. Your name: Your e-mail address: Your home town: Enter your question:

1. San Diego (8-2). This team is something special. Without Shawne Merriman and Luis Castillo (arguably their two most important defensive players) for the second straight week, the Chargers won the toughest road game on their schedule.

2. Indianapolis (9-1). Not a horrible loss. Not at all. The only thing that should bug coach Tony Dungy is that this was a physical foe, very physical, and the Colts didn't pass the test.

3. Chicago (9-1). I'm impressed with the Bears. After losing to the Dolphins in an alarm-clock kind of game, Chicago went on the road to face playoff contenders in back-to-back weeks at the Meadowlands and won both games by double digits.

4. Denver (7-3). I'll tell you what's unfair: Having the Broncos play Sunday night, then Denver having a very short week coming back to play on the road Thursday night.

5. Baltimore (8-2). Ray Lewis had blood drained from his back Thursday and wanted to play so bad against Atlanta that he urged defensive coordinator Rex Ryan to persuade coach Brian Billick to let him play. No chance, Billick said. Good news for Ravenites: Lewis has no structural damage to his back from the kneeing by Ed Reed two weeks ago, and he should be fine for the final six games.

6. Dallas (6-4). Any game that Tony Romo's in, Dallas has a chance.

7. New England (7-3). This week's sign that the Patriots are zoned in: On the two-hour flight from Green Bay to Providence Sunday evening, Tom Brady watched footage of the Bears' defense.

8. New Orleans (6-4). Drew Brees is on pace to throw for 4,982 yards. The record is 5,084, by Dan Marino.

9. Carolina (6-4). The Panthers outrushed the Rams 242-31.

10. New York Giants (6-3). All of a sudden, Dallas is only a half-game behind.

11. Seattle (6-4). Not sure Seattle would have beaten the Niners with Matt Hasselbeck playing. One thing's for sure. the Seahawks are in for a fight to win the division, and not with the Rams either.

12. Kansas City (6-4). "I haven't had a headache since three days after my concussion,'' Trent Green said after Sunday's game. Isn't that surprising, given the hit Green took in Week 1?

13. Jacksonville (5-4). Now David Garrard can play without looking over his shoulder all the time.

14. New York Jets (5-5). Chad Pennington's not going to like what he sees when he watches the Jets-Bears game on tape. Not at all. He's played very well this season, but the Bears rushed him into one of the biggest clunkers of his career.

15. Miami (4-6). The offensive line allowed 21 sacks in the first four games but only six in the last six. This team's alive, in a big way. The Dolphins' 2-5 AFC record could maim their chances in a month, but there's no one who wants a piece of Miami right now.
