Here are your Week 10 NFL power rankings!
(Last week’s rankings is in parenthesis…)
- New England Patriots (8-0) (1) – And then there were 3. . .
- Cincinnati Bengals (8-0) (3) – No one will give them credit until the playoffs, but tough schedule is great preparation.
- Carolina Panthers (8-0) (4) – And the toughest part of the schedule is behind them.
- Denver Broncos (7-1) (2) – Bad defensive game plan hands them first loss.
T-5. Green Bay Packers (6-2) (5) – Need to worry about holding on to the division.
T-5. Arizona Cardinals (6-2) (6) – One of the toughest remaining schedules in the NFL.
- Seattle Seahawks (4-4) (7) – Showdown with the Cardinals is both oppotrunity and hazard.
- Minnesota Vikings (6-2) (8) – Looking at 5 tough games in a row.
- Pittsburgh Steelers (5-4) (11) – Can they survive yet another injury?
- Oakland Raiders (4-4) (10) – Literally everything but the win.
- New York Jets (5-3) (12) – Showdown with former coach also carries major playoff implications.
- New York Giants (5-4) (T-14) – Despite tough remaining schedule, still my pick to emerge from the East.
- Atlanta Falcons (6-3) (9) – Fading like an overwashed t-shirt.
- Philadelphia Eagles (4-4) (T-14) – Hard to win and look that unimpressive.
- Buffalo Bills (4-4) (18) – Making the case that injuries were to blame.
- New Orleans Saints (4-5) (13) – Didn’t have the room to let that one get away.
- St. Louis Rams (4-4) (T-14) – Still in the thick of it.
- Miami Dolphins (3-5) (17) – Will need to go on a real streak to become relevant again.
- Kansas City Chiefs (3-5) (19) – Any chance they have rests on their ability to upset Denver this week.
- Indianapolis Colts (4-5) (26) – Is it fixed? No, not yet.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-5) (20) – Slightly tougher 2nd half schedule a good measuring stick.
- Washington RacialSlurs (3-5) (21) – A game and a half out of first; a 1000 miles from contention.
- Dallas Cowboys (2-6) (22) – Somehow this makes Tony Romo look that much better, doesn’t it?
- Chicago Bears (3-5) (29) – Three wins by a combined six points.
- Baltimore Ravens (2-6) (25) – Too bad they’re not in the South, eh?
- San Diego Chargers (2-7) (23) – No surprise, the most injured team in the NFL finds itself down in the dumps.
- Jacksonville Jaguars (2-6) (27) – They still play the Texans, Colts and Titans twice. They’re in the hunt.
- Houston Texans (3-5) (28) – Mark it down, they will lose their next six in a row.
- Tennessee Titans (2-6) (30) – While not exactly “good,” they’re clearly better with Mariota in there.
- Cleveland Browns (2-7) (24) – At some point the fact that you never, ever win catches up to you.
- San Francisco 49ers (3-6) (32) – Pardon me if the team with Blaine Gabbert doesn’t get much credit for winning.
32. Detroit Lions (1-7) (31) – Most of the teams near the bottom need o-line help, and the Lions right now get their pick of beef up front.
