One Winning Drive: Week 14 Power Rankings

[dc.]

No time to mince words, just be blunt: it was a rough week for the Top Ten. Three of last week's top ten lost, and three more snuck away with wins in the most absurd of ways.

 

The Patriots and Cardinals fell out of the rankings this week. The Patriots lost to the Steelers by a wide margin at home. In a sentence, they offense got shut down and the defense failed to show up. It was almost expected though; defense has been the Patriots' problem all season long.

 

For the Cardinals, they just got outplayed by the Eagles. In the process, they lost yet another chance to clinch their division. Though, I must admit, it would be kind of fun to see a team get into the playoffs at 7-9.

 

The two new arrivals this week, taking over the spots of the Pats and Cards, are the Cowboys and Falcons. Both teams have won eight games and are fighting for the second wild card position in the NFC. Unfortunately, both will likely end the season with better records than the winners of the NFC North and NF C West.

The Falcons are the league’s Rodney Dangerfield this season (I am not finishing the joke, you know how it ends).

 

How does it end?

We need to beat Pit and Dallas, not to mention Washington before we can be considered that good.
