Week 12 NFL Power Rankings
(Number in brackets indicates last weeks rank.)
The New England Patriots did not disappoint Sunday night as they rolled right through Buffalo with another dominating performance from Tom Brady and Randy Moss. Next up the Eagles on Sunday night.
Another huge divisional win, as the 'boys defeated the redskins with a record tying day from T.O and his 4 touchdowns. Now they look to set a franchise record for best start in team history as the Jets come to town on Thanksgiving.
Farve and the Packers keep rolling as they keep pace with the Cowboys for the number 1 seed in the NFC. Next up for the Pack a Thanksgiving day tilt against division foe Detroit at Ford Field.
After just hanging on at home against the Chiefs winning 13-10, the Colts offensive should be looking forward to feasting on the Falcons on Thanksgiving eve.
Another big win for this team as they knocked off the Chargers 24-17. Staying ahead of the Titans and closing in on the Colts look for this team to get better as the later stages of the season approach.
Seattle's re-found air attack has pushed the team ahead in the pitiful
NFC West. Can they keep it going against a hard charging Rams team with Matt Hasselbeck nursing sore ribs from the Chicago game?
The Steelers had a huge set back this past week losing to the previous one win Jets. But as
Hines Ward said "Over the course of 16 games, you're bound to have one bad game". Well with a fast charging Browns team hot on their heels let's hope that's the only lapse they have, as they face another losing team on Monday night the Miami Dolphins.
The Browns, what can you say? They get the luck of the officials taking 5 minutes to discuss whether or not their tying field goal actually went through the uprights. After they get that they win the game in overtime 33-30 on another field goal beating the one time Browns now Ravens.
The Bucs have a 2 game lead in the under achieving
NFC South, next up a tough match up with the Redskins.
The Giants get a huge road win against fellow wild card hopeful Detroit. Now can this team build on this win or are we going to see another late season collapse?
Still holding on hope for the playoffs after defeating the lowly Dolphins. With McNabb day-to-day with thumb and ankle injuries, who will start at QB for the Eagles in Foxboro against the undefeated Patriots?
A big win against Vince Young and the Titans Monday night puts them in a tie with San Diego for first place in the
AFC West. With a trip to Chicago up next can they put together another good offense game against another tough defense?
After a disappointing home loss to the Giants Sunday, the lions have a big division match up against the Packers on Thanksgiving. They need this win to stay in the playoff hunt.
A nice win in Cincinnati, now can the put another win together this weekend against the lowly Raiders?
The Bills ran into a freight train called the Patriots. Look for Edwards to get the start this week at QB against a very tough Jacksonville team.
This team continues to be inconstant, Philip Rivers does not look confident and there running game is not what is was last year. This team needs to fight to make the playoffs this year.
Coming off Vince Young's best offence performance of his career, the Titans look to get back in the win column as they make the trip to Cincinnati.
Beating the lowly Raiders last week, with Chester Taylor running for 3 TD's could give this team some much needed confidence to finish the year strong.
Coming off back to back divisional losses did not help this teams playoffs hopes. Now sitting at 5-5 they are facing some secondary issues as they go into this weeks game.
Coming off their bye week and with the return of their top receiver Andre Johnson, the Texans returned to early season form against the Saints. Next up the high powered offense of the Cleveland Browns.
If they have any hope of climbing back in the race for the AFC West, they need to open their offense up a little.
As reports out of Kansas City say Holmes could be done, as he re-injured his neck last week.
With 2 straight losses, their playoff hopes are all but dead. They need to win out to have a chance.
Good News Cedric Benson finally broke of a long run from scrimmage last week against Seattle. Bad news the Bears lost the game and any chance of making the playoffs.
Time to build for the future, as their season is all but over.
They gave the Packers a bit of a run last week, but that's about it. Injuries have pretty much taken this team out.
The Bengals are looking like the bungles of old this year, giving up two INT's for touchdowns that counted as the third was called back on a penalty. Some whole sale changes need to be made with this team.
A huge upset at home against the Steelers last week, their prize a thanksgiving trip to Dallas to face the Cowboys as a
14 point underdog.
Not sure what Petrino sees in Leftwich, but this team was playing a lot better with Harrington under center.
Hey a 2 game winning streak, let's see if they can build on it for the rest of the year, to come back up to respectability.
I believe it is time for JaMarcus Russell to see some action, but Coach Kiffin has other ideas. This team is brutal.
Quarterback Alex Smith is pretty much done for the year with a third degree separation of his throwing shoulder, which could lead to
season ending surgery.
Ricky Williams takes the field for his first practice today, with any luck he will be ready to play Monday night against the Steelers. On another note John Beck looked pretty could last week against the pressure defense of the Eagles.
