Went to washingtonPost.com and found a schedule with all the team rankings by category. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/F/FBN_NFL_TEAM_RANKINGS_MEGAA?SITE=DCWAP2&SECTION=MEGASPORTS&TEMPLATE=washingtonpost.com-stats-nfl.txt
They had the teams arranged alphabettically, so of course our skins were last. However I noticed the skins were consistently low in each category.
So, being an accounting Geek, I imported the data into excel, added up the sum of the categories (excluding totals, or else it would be redundant), and resorted the data with the lowest being best (that is it is better to be 1st than 31st, obviously).
What you get is a summary ranking of teams as follows.
Notice who is at the top.
Notice how low the Giants and Eagles are:
Rank-Team-Total of Rankings
1Washington Redskins31
2Tampa Bay Buccaneers36
3Seattle Seahawks41
4Dallas Cowboys44
5Indianapolis Colts44
6Baltimore Ravens50
7Chicago Bears54
8Pittsburgh Steelers55
9Cincinnati Bengals57
10Tennessee Titans58
11Denver Broncos58
12Kansas City Chiefs59
13San Diego Chargers59
14New Orleans Saints61
15Green Bay Packers63
16Jacksonville Jaguars63
17Philadelphia Eagles65

27New York Giants82
28Minnesota Vikings82
29New York Jets89
30Houston Texans99

Hope you find this interesting.
