Welcome to week 10 of the official r/NFL Power Rankings! Remember how hyped up the yearly Colts-Patriots game used to be? The two franchises played another close one on Sunday, there just seems to be something off about Brady’s footwork… The Vikings however, haven’t missed a step since Cousins on their way to five straight wins. Campbell is preparing his team to win every game, several teams seem to be trying the opposite. How many more times will Reich send Pineiro out to kick past what his leg is physically capable of? Can Pittsburgh continue the standard of W’s (and scraps in the box score)? After a rerun on Sunday, how will an extra week of rest affect Dallas and New York? Why would Jets make a change when Zach Wilson is playing pretty well? Discuss! 28/32 Reporting

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Eagles | – | The Eagles had somewhat of a blank space with the bye. Yes, they beat Dallas the week prior, but they’re not out of the woods yet. Next up, a trip to Arrowhead where they’ll get to embrace their role as the anti-hero, and we’ll see if they succumb to the bye week rust or shake it off. Despite the Super Bowl loss, there’s not a ton of bad blood between these teams. Sure, it was a cruel summer replaying Hurts highlights and wondering what could have been, but overall, the invisible string between the Kelce brothers ties these two fanbases together. Don’t get it twisted, it’s no love story, as Eagles fans know all too well, and this is probably the 1 game this team has had circled on the calendar since last February. On Monday night, red and green will battle on the field, all 22 men fearless and mean. And after a week of what is sure to be forced, unending, obnoxious Swift-Philly-Kelce references, the only question… ready for it? | ||
| 2. | Chiefs | +1 | 7-2 | Is it possible for a team to win on the bye week anymore than the Chiefs just did? Every team that could help the Chiefs with another loss helped us. The Broncos and the Raiders both won but still have an incredible journey to try and sneak into the playoffs where they’ll inevitably be bounced in the Wildcard round. In all reality at this point a few unexpected wins from both of those teams just hurts them in the long run, so it’s hard to look at it as a bad thing. Overall another fantastic week for the Chiefs #1 agenda. | |
| 3. | Ravens | -1 | 7-3 | ||
| 4. | Lions | – | 7-2 | Jared Goff has won yet another shootout against a highly touted AFC quarterback, this time surgically dissecting the Los Angeles Chargers as their vaunted pass rush flailed hopelessly against Penei Sewell and company. The Goffense looked absolutely lethal as the team averaged 6.5 yards on the ground and 10.1 yards through the air, and Goff himself was a perfect 8/8 for 120 yards and 1 TD in the 4th quarter, never letting LA take a lead. THEY RAN A 4TH AND FCKING 5 DRAW AND GOT IT. This offense is just unreal. Now, the defensive side (outside of the first quarter capped by the most impressive toe-drag pick I have ever seen by Kerby Joseph) was abysmal, as the Chargers’ pre-snap motion and no-huddle exposed communication issues throughout the Lions back-end while the line could not get any consistent pressure. Luckily for Aaron Glenn, the Chicago Bears are coming to the D next week, providing his defense with the perfect get right opportunity. | |
| 5. | 49ers | +4 | 6-3 | The 49ers came strong out of the bye week and righted the ship against the surging Jaguars, ending their losing streak at 3 games. The team executed on both sides of the ball, looking more like the team who started the season 5-0 than the struggling team the last month. The team looks forward to 4 game stretch against 2022 playoff teams, with vs TB, at Sea, at Phi and vs. Sea coming up. This stretch should tell us more about whether the 3 game losing streak was just a slump or a signal of larger issues with a team that thinks of itself as a Super Bowl contender. | |
| 6. | Cowboys | +2 | 6-3 | There reaches a point in a game like that where you just feel bad. Even on paper, it was like a September football game, with the Giants playing the role of Mercer. At halftime, Dallas had more points than the Giants had yards. But, a win is a win and they all count the same. You know, except for tiebreakers and stuff. Anyway, game 1 of a 12-13 game win streak is in the books. | |
| 7. | Dolphins | -2 | 6-3 | The BYE week was fun! We finally get back from IR the most explosive RB in the league in De’Von Achane. Next week we play a surprisingly frisky Raiders team that’s coming off a SNF win over the Jets. Thankfully the Raiders are 5-5 and not 6-4 or else we wouldn’t have a chance at beating them according to the pundits. On that note, we’ve now moved from 0-3 to 0-2 vs above .500 teams :) | |
| 8. | Browns | +4 | 6-3 | First quarter, right off the bat, things looked rough. But they turned it around. | |
| 9. | Jaguars | -3 | |||
| 10. | Bengals | -3 | 5-4 | The Bengals are back at the bottom of their division after a critical dropped TD by Tyler Boyd cost them a chance to go up by 4 points in the final minutes of the game. With the score tied, CJ Stroud marched down the field as he had done all game, and easily got his team in position for the game-winning FG. If the Bengals want any chance at a division title they have to win in Baltimore on Thursday. If they can’t get that done then it looks like their only path to the playoffs will be from a wild-card spot. | |
| 11. | Seahawks | – | 6-3 | We’re back, baby. After putting up 3 points last week, the Seahawks bounced back against Washington’s defense, putting up 29 points. However, the offense once again struggled to find the endzone; Jason Myers gets the game ball going 5/5 on field goals. The running game has been off for some time now and the passing attack can still improve. With Abe Lucas returning to practice, hopefully we can get back on track. Defensively, a lot of guys made a lot of plays. Witherspoon forced a fumble, ripping the ball away from Sam Howell aas Tariq Woolen scooped it up. speaking of Woolen, he had probably his best coverage game of the season this week. And last but not least… Boye Mafe has a sack in seven consecutive games, a Seahawks franchise record and making him one of only 3 players to have such a streak in their first 2 years (Jevon Kearse and Aldon Smith being the other 2). The Seahawks get the Rams in LA this Sunday before running into gauntlet of NFC juggernauts in the coming weeks | |
| 12. | Texans | +4 | 5-4 | "You had my curiosity. But now you have my attention." After all the glowing press this about CJ Stroud and the possibility of contending for the playoffs, the Texans still had to show that they could at least hang with the top teams to be taken seriously. They did that and then some. Stroud channelled his inner TJ Yates and tormented the Bengals for another 356 yds and a last-minute drive for the win, but loses style points on an ugly interception that allowed the Bengals back into the game late in the 4th. The running game finally woke up here in week 10 as Devin Singletary went for 150 and a TD, and Sheldon Rankins’ 3 sacks and forced fumble led a Texans defense that gave Joe Burrow fits for much of the day. At 5-4, the Texans are now firmly in the playoff race one year removed from a disastrous 3-13-1 season. The schedule moving forward is extremely favorable, but they can’t have any more letdowns like their loss to the Panthers. | |
| 13. | Bills | -3 | 5-5 | It was a rough start to the game, so I polished off half of a Wegmans “Let’s Go Buffalo” cookie cake —as one does. Then did the same amount of damage to a case of Blue Light —you know, as one does. I left the game paused before I passed out (please no one spoil the end for me), and I’m gonna try and finish when I get home from work. I’m sure they’ve gotten all their mistakes out of the way, it’ll probably be smooth sailing through the second half, right? | |
| 14. | Steelers | -1 | 6-3 | As has been said a few times in these blurbs, many times in the media, and countless times during Sunday’s game, the Steelers are statistically at the bottom of a lot of categories, yet still find a way to win due to their defense. It was no different against the Packers as they continued to rely on the unreliable, which is getting turnovers in the red zone. Is that an identity or a strategy to build upon? Only time will tell, but this team is starting to coalesce into a running team that can force mistakes on defense. An interesting fact setting up for the playoff run is that the Steelers are the only AFC team with no losses in their own division. And as an aside, only the Chiefs have a better conference win percentage. This is why Sunday’s game at Cleveland is even more important: a win for the Browns and they guarantee at least .500 record in the division, but with a loss, they not only fall behind a game, but are severely disadvantaged in tiebreaking scenarios. The Browns could not do better than 3 wins in the division if they lose on Sunday as they only have the Bengals left for their 6th… |
