Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings: Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#12)
Last week: 12 (+0) Record: 3-1 The Vikings are still the favorite to be this year’s team that goes from 5 wins or fewer to the playoffs. They are the only candidate even in the top-22 in yards per play differential, ranking 9th. Their defense and offensive line are both…

Continue reading →: Green Bay Packers: Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#13)
Last week: 13 (+0) Record: 2-2 I’ve still got the Packers here after their close home win over the Saints. Every year, one team goes from a first round bye to out of the playoffs and after all 4 of the candidates won last week, the Packers are still the…

Continue reading →: New York Giants: Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#14)
Last week: 14 (+0) Record: 2-2 This is the league’s 2nd worst defense in terms of yards per play allowed, thanks to a pass defense that ranks tied for last allowing 9.0 YPA. Their secondary simply cannot seem to beat the injury bug, much like last year, and it’s getting…

Continue reading →: Arizona Cardinals: Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#15)
Last week: 16 (+1) Record: 4-0 I was going to call the Cardinals the worst 4-0 team ever, but then I remembered the 2009 Broncos. The Broncos, much like the Cardinals this year, were one of my preseason picks to be among the worst in the league. After the Broncos…

Continue reading →: Buffalo Bills: Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#16)
Last week: 15 (-1) Record: 2-2 The Bills have now allowed 100 points in two divisional matchups. Yikes! The defense isn’t the problem, however. The 48 they allowed to the Jets was largely due to their offense giving the Jets the ball with good field position and then the defense…

Continue reading →: Seattle Seahawks: Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#17)
Last week: 17 (+0) As they always do, the Seahawks fell flat on the road last week. Now there are calls for Russell Wilson’s job after his 3 pick performance (none of which were ruled touchdowns strangely) just a few weeks after he was the media darling who “beat the…

Continue reading →: Cincinnati Bengals: Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#18)
Last week: 21 (+3) Record: 3-1 The Bengals have sufficiently proven they can beat up on crappy teams. Assuming Cleveland, Jacksonville, and Washington don’t make the playoffs and Baltimore does, the Bengals are now 12-0 against non-playoff teams since Andy Dalton took over week 1 last year. Unfortunately, they are…

Continue reading →: Carolina Panthers: Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#19)
Last week: 19 (+0) Record: 1-3 Last week, I said they were better than they looked against the Giants and they showed it against the Falcons, leading late and only losing by 2. Their decision not to go for the clincher and go for it on 4th down was head…

Continue reading →: Tennessee Titans: Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#20)
Last week: 19 (-1) Record: 1-3 Jake Locker looks like he’ll be out for a while. That’s not a huge loss because Matt Hasselbeck is a capable veteran backup who led this team to 9-7 last year. He might even be a better short term option. However, at 1-3, the…
