The Packers still hold the top spot in this week’s Power Rankings. The 49ers and Giants are the big winners both jumping five spots up to 4th and 10th respectively. This week’s big losers are the Texans who fall five spots down to 17th and the Cowboys who dropped from 14th down to 21st. The Colts, Rams, and Dolphins still round out the bottom of the pack.

Rank (LW)

 Team Record Comment
1 (1) Packers 6-0 The Packers dominated again this week and clearly look like the best team in football.
2 (2) Patriots 5-1 Not a great game against Dallas, but the Patriots proved they can win without Brady throwing for 400 yards and 3 touchdowns.
3 (5) Ravens 4-1 Ravens got another solid win against a good team and look ready for a run at the AFC North and the Super Bowl
4 (9) 49ers 5-1 The49ers won a hard fought game handing the Lions there first loss of the season
5 (3) Lions 5-1 Tough loss to a good 49er team, but the loss of Best might be huge for a team lacking in a power running game.
6 (4) Saints 4-2 Drew Brees has no fumbles in 2011, but eight INTs in past four games. (John Clayton ESPN)
7 (6) Chargers 4-1 Coming off there bye week the Chargers head east to play the Jets whom division rival Oakland has already beaten.
8 (8) Steelers 4-2 Mendenhall torched the Jags for 146 yds and a TD, but Jacksonville made things interesting late.
9 (11) Raiders 4-2 Solid win over the Browns to keep pace with the Chargers though a questionable call on fourth down almost cost them the game.
10 (15) Giants 4-2 A win over the streaking Bills puts the Giants in first place in the NFC East.
11 (7) Bills 4-2 Losing to the Giants drops them a game behind the Patriots and there defense is still a major question mark.
12 (16) Bucaneers 4-2 After getting trounced by the 49ers the week before the Bucs bounced back to beat the Saints to tie the race atop the NFC South.
13 (13) Titans 3-2 Next up is a divisional showdown against the Texans. Will this be Chris Johnson’s breakout game?
14 (18) Bears 3-3 The Bears travel to London for a game at Whembly Stadium.
15 (17) Jets 3-3 They needed a win in the worst way and got one Monday Night against the pitiful Dolphins. There schedule doesn’t get any easier though.
16 (10) Redskins 3-2 Rex Grossman was benched in favor of John Beck after throwing 4 Ints. Who will be the starter next week?
17 (12) Texans 3-3 They will either leapfrog the Titans into first place or drop three straight and fall under .500. Still no Andre Johnson.
18 (20) Bengals 4-2 Andy Dalton has this team in the hunt in the AFC North, but how long will this last?
19 (19) Falcons 3-3 They beat the Panthers, but the true test for this team will come agains the Lions next week.
20 (22) Eagles 2-4 They avoided a never ending nightmare by beating the Redskins and with the way the division is looking they’re still right in the mix
21 (14) Cowboys 2-3 Tough loss in Foxboro, but a game against the Rams should cure everything.
22 (21) Seahawks 2-3 Another injury to the defense as CB Marcus Trufant has been placed on the IR.
23 (23) Browns 2-3 The Browns are…well the Browns and with no Peyton Hillis (injury/contract) this team doesn’t have many weapons.
24 (25) Chiefs 2-3 The Chiefs get Oakland and new QB Carson Palmer out of the bye and coming off of two wins they look to get back to .500.
25 (24) Panthers 1-5 Cam Newton’s doing everything except getting wins. Three home games in a row should help that though.
26 (29) Cardinals 1-4 After a bye the Cardinals get the Steelers.
27 (27) Broncos 1-4 They’re giving Tim Tebow the reigns, but without Brandon Lloyd who’s he going to throw too?
28 (26) Vikings 1-5 After getting blown out by the Bears it looks like Christian Ponder is the new starter for the Vikings.
29 (28) Jaguars 1-5 They showed life fighting back against the Steelers, but this team isn’t very good.
30 (30) Dolphins 0-5 The Dolphins haven’t won a game in almost a year (Dec.21,2010) and Tony Sparano might not make it through the bye. Hard to argue when their gameplan was to throw at Revis as much as possible.
31 (31) Rams 0-5 Sam Bradford looks to be sidelined with an ankle injury.
32 (32) Colts 0-6 This team is now perfecting the art of finding ways to lose.
