My NFL Power Rankings: Week 13

Rank	Team	Record	Comments
1	Falcons	9-2	The Falcons have proven they can stand up against some of the best teams in the league. They’re also unbeatable at home since drafting Matt Ryan.
2	Patriots	9-2	Their offense continues to put up tons of points, but they have another matchup with the Jets this week, a team they only scored 14 points against in week 2.
3	Jets	9-2	Their man-to-man defense matches up extremely well with the Patriots offense. Monday night’s matchup will be a great one.
4	Ravens	8-3	Sunday night’s game against the Steelers may decide the AFC North, especially if the Ravens sweep.
5	Steelers	8-3	They wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Steve Johnson, but they remain tied with the Ravens going into this Sunday.
6	Saints	8-3	Reggie Bush’s return actually hurt the Saints, but Drew Brees keeps finding ways to win.
7	Bears	8-3	The Bears are looking like real contenders now. They intercepted Vick for the first time and stopped him from scrambling for many yards.
8	Packers	7-4	No shame in losing to Atlanta at home, but they’ll need to start winning if they want to pass the Bears.
9	Eagles	7-4	Without Asante Samuel and Ellis Hobbs, the Eagles’ secondary is very vulnerable.
10	Giants	7-4	Missing 5 starters on offense, they managed to go a full game without a turnover.
11	Chargers	6-5	The win over the Colts makes them look like a huge threat to the rest of the AFC.
12	Chiefs	7-4	Matt Cassel is playing like an elite QB this season. His 22 TDs and only 4 interceptions are going to take the Chiefs a long way.
13	Colts	6-5	They need to get some starters back quickly before their free fall becomes serious.
14	Buccaneers	7-4	They still do not have a win against a team with a winning record, but they played the Ravens tough and showed they can compete with good teams.
15	Dolphins	6-5	Chad Henne’s early return from a knee injury gives the Dolphins a chance to make a run.
16	Jaguars	6-5	The offensive line let David Garrard down in the second half against the Giants.
17	Texans	5-6	Michael Vick is not Rusty Smith. Don’t expect another goose egg from this defense next week.
18	Rams	5-6	Sam Bradford became the first rookie QB to throw for over 300 yards, 3 TDs, and 0 picks. He definitely leads the Rookie of the Year voting.
19	Raiders	5-6	Two straight embarrassing losses lead me to believe that their previous winning streak was just a fluke.
20	Titans	5-6	The free fall continues, but lucky for the Titans, everyone in the South keeps losing and they find themselves only 1 game out of first place.
21	Seahawks	5-6	The defense is letting them down big time after a good start to the season. Nevertheless, they still have a great shot to win the West.
22	Redskins	5-6	The lack of a ground game will make it tough for the Redskins to win games down the stretch.
23	Cowboys	3-8	They were a Roy Williams fumble away from beating the Saints on Thanksgiving. That trade keeps looking worse and worse for them.
24	49ers	4-7	At 4-7, they are closer to first place than the 7-4 Buccaneers are.
25	Bills	2-9	They have become one of the most competitive teams in the NFL lately. At least their fans can see some fun games.
26	Browns	4-7	Peyton Hillis is one of the best backs in the league this season. Too bad he has no support around him.
27	Vikings	4-7	Leslie Frazier is now 1-0 as head coach. How many wins can interim coaches rack up this season?
28	Broncos	3-8	Things keep getting worse and worse for Josh McDaniels and the Broncos. How much longer will he keep his job?
29	Bengals	2-9	The Bengals’ nightmare continues as their losing streak climbs to 8 straight.
30	Cardinals	3-8	It’s time to start planning for next season. Ken Whisenhunt is too good of a coach to lose this many games.
31	Lions	2-9	After leading the Patriots at the half, the Lions completely fell apart in the second half. Seems like they have given up again.
32	Panthers	1-10	At least they are seeing great things out of backup backup backup running back Mike Goodson. He gives them a chance to win in Seattle this week.
