This week’s NFL power rankings still look the same at the top where the Packers and Patriots continue to lock down the top two spots. With six undefeated teams remaining, there was a bit of shuffling behind them. I have the Cardinals and Seahawks both ranked above the undefeated Panthers simply because I think they’re both better teams and Carolina can’t possibly keep up the performances they’ve started the season with.
On the other end of the spectrum, three of the four winless teams got their first victory of the season. As we all know, the one team that remains winless is the Detroit Lions. As a result, the Lions have fallen all the way down to 30th and with Arizona coming to town, there’s still room to fall.
This week’s biggest riser is the St. Louis Rams who jumped eleven spots from 21 to 10 on the heels of a 24-22 victory over the Cardinals. The Rams travel to Lambeau field this week and hopefully they can keep up their play there.
The teams that dropped the furthest this week were the Colts, who dropped from 9 to 16 despite their overtime victory at home against the Jaguars, and the Eagles, who dropped from 12 to 19 by losing to a Washington team that many had them beating. That about does it for the big movers and shakers in this week’s NFL power rankings, so without further ado:
