Week 10 is now officially in the books and it’s time to take a look at those Week 11 Power Rankings.
First things first, we have a new member in the top 5. Making its season debut is the Cincinnati Bengals, fresh off a over Pittsburgh. The Bengals came in at number four and look they they are here to stay.
The big winner this week is the Baltimore Raves, who jumped four spots to number 11 after a dominating win over the Browns. Six teams moved up three spots.
The big loser this week is the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons delivered a less than impressive effort against the Panther and Matt just doesn’t the same. The Eagles and jets, both dropped four spots.
1. New Orleans Saints (9-0) –
Let the Rams stay around a little too long.
2. Indianapolis Colts (9-0) –
Got a gift from the Pats and capitalized.
3. Minnesota Vikings (8-1) –
The Vikings rolled to an easy victory over the Lions.
4. Cincinnati Bengals (7-2) +3
A huge statement win for the Bengals, who are in control of the AFC North.
5. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-3) -1
A sight setback for the defending champs, but a game against the Chiefs should take of that.
6. New England Patriots (6-3) –
A tough loss for the Patriots, who now have the archrival Jets coming to town this week.
7. San Diego Chargers (6-3) +3
The Chargers are on fire having won four in a row heading into their matchup versus the Broncos.
8. Arizona Cardinals (6-3) +3
This team is starting to find its groove again and they get the Rams next week.
9. Denver Broncos (6-3) -3
Three losses in a row and now suddenly the Broncos could be watching the playoffs at home. A huge game for the division coming up against the Chargers.
10. Dallas Cowboys (6-3) -2
A let down game for the Cowboys, but after four straight win you were kind of expecting it anyway.
11. Baltimore Ravens (5-4) +4
Don’t count the Ravens just yet. Nex week though, the Colts won’t be as easy the Browns
12. Houston Texans (5-4) +1
Were on a bye this past week and now get the suddenly red hot Titans at home on MNF.
13. Philadelphia Eagles (5-3) -4
McNabb put up wonderful stats, but they couldn’t convert in the red zone. This team will miss Brian Westbrook a lot.
14. New York Giants (5-4) –
The Giants didn’t play on Sunday but picked up ground on a few teams that stumbled.
15. Green Bay Packers (5-4) +2
The Packers needed a win on Sunday and they delivered and are now back in the thick of things.
16. Carolina Panthers (4-5) +3
Don’t look now but the Panthers are coming on strong. Delhomme has been turnover free recently and Steve Smith found the end zone for the first time all season.
