NFL Power Rankings: Green Bay Packers on top

There were upsets in the third week of the NFL that surprised millions of fans. First of all, the shocking defeat of the New England Patriots in the hands of the Buffalo Bills significantly altered the NFL Power Rankings. Buffalo Bills are for real as they have proven against the high-powered offense of the Patriots. Bills checked Tom Brady’s rhythm getting four interceptions.

Detroit Lions 3-0 start makes the league more interesting because the Lions are in focus of winning to be in the playoffs. Three consecutive wins at the start is some sort of a milestone for the Lions. We will see the team next week if they are for real like the Bills.

When we talk about the Packers, there’s nothing surprise at all when they defeated the Chicago Bills. As expected the Packers will be in the playoffs that the challenge right now on the division is from Detroit. Packers offensive attacks still the best in the league and their defense knows when to step up if needed. Yes, the Packers is on top of the NFL Power Rankings, they will always be on top until a team will challenge them.

After a disappointing defeat last week from the hands of the Tennessee Titans, Baltimore Ravens trampled St Louis Rams,37-7, making the Ravens to be back on the NFL Power Rankings top 10. Ravens defense surely is the key in advancing to the playoffs and that defense will improve in the coming days. We will rank Ravens in the second place in this week’s NFL Power Rankings.

The Patriots defeat slightly brought them down lower to the NFL Power Rankings. The Patriots will bounce back next week against the Raiders with that Brady’s offense. New England Patriots at the third spot this week.

San Diego Chargers win over Kansas City Chiefs may not be that impressive but they still won. Chargers defense is one of the toughest in the NFL and their offense will always be their because of Philip Rivers. We place the Chargers in the fourth place.

New Orleans Saints victory against Houston Texans was surely one of the high scoring games. Saints still have that offense from Drew Brees, however, they deserve to be in the second place but we will place them behind those three AFC teams. Saints at No 5.

Buffalo Bills will always be in the conversation when we talke about the NFL Power Rankings. With that win against the Patriots, we will place the Bills at No 6. This team is different from the past. It has the “swagger” that can help them to be in the playoffs.

As one of the few teams that are undefeated, the Detroit Lions deserves to be in the 7th place. Yes, the Lions are back in the chase and for the first time in many years, the Thanksgiving tradition game will not be a no bearing game for them.

At No 8, Pittsburgh Steelers will always be in the conversation in the NFL Power Rankings, though they defeated the short-handed Indianapolis Colts, still the Steelers can win games.

Despite of the loss from the Oakland Raiders, the New York Jets still is a strong team that can be back in the AFC Championship. It will be tougher this time because it is no longer a race against the Patriots in the division with the emergence of the Bll. Jets at No 9 in the NFL Power Rankings.

The tenth spot goes this time for the Houston Texans. Yes the Texans went on for a shootout against the Saints, though they failed to win still the offense showed that they are a contender and they might win their division without Peyton Manning for the Colts.
