The Packers top the Power Rankings again this week with another impressive performance from Aaron Rodgers. The Steelers make a push for the top jumping up to 5th, and with a win over number 2 New England can jump up next week. The Texans, Falcons, and Chiefs all jumped up 5 spots to 12th, 14th, and 19th respectively.

The Ravens saw themselves drop from 3rd to 8th after a horrible loss to the Jaguars. The Raiders dropped 7 spots from 9th to 16th after trouble at the QB position post Carson Palmer trade gave them a loss going into their bye week. The Bucs also dropped 5 spots from 12th to 17th after getting whooped in London by the Bears.

The Colts again round out the bottom of the rankings this week after getting obliterated by the Saints 62-7 and they don’t look poised to move anytime soon.

Rank (LW) Team Record Comment
1 (1) Packers 7-0 Aaron Rodgers is the best QB in the game right now and every week he shows us why.
2 (2) Patriots 5-1 Coming off the bye week the Pats square off against the Steelers in a potential playoff preview.
3 (5) Saints 5-2 After picking apart the hapless Colts the Saints get the winless Rams this week.
4 (4) 49ers 5-1 Coming off their bye week they’re getting Braylon Edwards back among others making this team even better.
5 (8) Steelers 5-2 The Steelers have won three straight and are looking to continue that against the Patriots.
6 (5) Lions 5-2 Two straight losses and a possible injury to Stafford don’t look good, but the Broncos are next up.
7 (7) Chargers 4-2 Have lost to the only two decent teams they’ve played the Patriots and the Jets
8 (3) Ravens 4-2 Horrible loss to a very bad Jaguar team. Flacco has some work to do.
9 (10) Giants 4-2 The Giants are sitting atop the NFC East and getting healthier.
10 (14) Bears 4-3 The Bears beat up the Bucs in London and they look to remain relevant til the end.
11 (11) Bills 4-2 Buffalo is coming off a bye and looking to improve defensively so the offense doesn’t have to score 30+ every game.
12 (17) Texans 4-3 The next two games for the Texans should be easy, the Jags and the Browns, but we’re talking about the Texans.
13 (15) Jets 4-3 A solid win over the Chargers thanks to Plaxico Burress’ 3 TD performance has the Jets on a two game win streak going into their bye.
14 (19) Falcons 4-3 The Falcons are looking to get back on track and are lucky Ryan wasn’t badly injured last game.
15 (18) Bengals 4-2 Somewhere Mike Brown is smiling over the Palmer trade.
16 (9) Raiders 4-3 This teams season rest on the shoulders of Carson Palmer, but the bye week should help him get more up to speed.
17 (12) Buccaneers 4-3 Josh Freeman has four more INTs through six games than he had in 16 games last season. (Mike Sando ESPN)
18 (21) Cowboys 3-3 Thanks to DeMarco Murray’s monster 253 rushing yard game the Cowboys got a much needed blowout win.
19 (24) Chiefs 3-3 After starting 0-3 the Chiefs have picked up their play and gotten back to .500.
20 (13) Titans 3-3 Chris Johnson got payed as the best player in the league, yet is ranked last in ypc and doesn’t look the same.
21 (16) Redskins 3-3 A season that started with such promise now looks doomed by injuries and a lack of a QB.
22 (20) Eagles 2-4 If the ‘dream team’ is going to turn things around they need to start now and start with defense.
23 (23) Browns 3-3 They won a defensive battle against Seattle and move back to .500.
24 (25) Panthers 2-5 Cam Newton is on a mission to prove everyone who said he wasn’t going to be good wrong.
25 (29) Jaguars 2-5 A big win over the Ravens showed how good they could be and with a weak division don’t count them out.
26 (27) Broncos 2-4 After 3 and a half quarters of dreadful football against the winless Dolphins Tebow found a way to comeback and win it in OT.
27 (22) Seahawks 2-4 They held the browns to 6 points, but forgot to score more than that.
28 (28) Vikings 1-6 Christian Ponder looked good in his first career start keeping them in the game against the Packers with some help from a guy named AP.
29 (26) Cardinals 1-5 The Kevin Kolb signing might be one of the worst of the off-season.
30 (31) Rams 0-6 The only thing keeping pressure of of Spagnoulo is the baseball Cardinals and if they lose he will be on the hot seat.
31 (30) Dolphins 0-6 How did they find a way to blow that one? Even Bush says they “stink.”
32 (32) Colts 0-7 They were blown out 62-7. Enough said.
