Agree? Disagree?2010 NFL Power Rankings: Week 10
The Baltimore Ravens' rise to the top of ESPN.com's NFL Power Rankings faces an immediate test: Thursday night, they visit the No. 3 Atlanta Falcons.
If the Falcons score the "upset," the penthouse could be wrecked before the rest of Week 10's games unfold Sunday and Monday.
The Ravens can savor first place in our weekly poll of experts, just edging the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Falcons, the New York Giants and the New York Jets in the top 5. The New England Patriots, No. 1 entering Week 9, fell to No. 6 this week in the wake of their loss to the Cleveland Browns.
The upstart Browns, ranked No. 23 this week, will see if they can continue to slay giants when they play host to the No. 5 Jets.
1.
Channing Crowder's least favorite team has won five of its past six.
2.
The Steelers are 3-1 with QB Ben Roethlisberger.
3.
The Falcons have held six of their past 10 opponents to 278 yards or fewer, including Tampa Bay in Week 9.
4.
The Giants seem downright dominating, and they're improving week to week. (Clayton)
5.
This is a stunner: Getting to the QB is becoming a problem for the Jets' defense.
6.
It's hard to believe a Bill Belichick team is ranked 32nd in third-down defense.
7.
The defense has allowed only seven points in the past two games. (Walker)
8.
Michael Vick is willing to take as many hits as necessary if it means winning.
9.
The Saints won big, but they've struggled badly on third down in two of their past three games.
10.
The limited Bengals are just the right sort of team to pop up on the Colts' schedule now.
11.
Randy Moss has arrived, and the circus begins.
12.
Only three AFC teams have more wins and only one other (the Jets) is 3-0 in its division.
13.
The best-team-in-the-NFC mantra can wait for now, but the Bucs definitely have made progress.
14.
The Chiefs' next four games appear favorable: at Denver, Arizona, at Seattle, Denver.
15.
Stuck with no-name receivers? No matter if you're playing the Texans, who give yards to all.
16.
Are the Chargers transitioning from typically poor early season to typically strong late season?
17.
LB Cameron Wake is having a Pro Bowl season, but the running game needs a wake-up call.
18.
Did Donovan McNabb need all of this Mike Shanahan controversy before a game against the Eagles?
19.
With the way the Bears played in Week 9, they were lucky they were facing the winless Bills.
20.
Look at Week 10 this way: David Garrard's been better than Matt Schaub of late, and the Jags swept the Texans in 2009.
21.
Beating the 49ers in Week 10 would give the Rams their first road victory and a winning record.
22.
It's clear QB Brett Favre and coach Brad Childress won't spend the holidays together.
23.
Rookie QB Colt McCoy owns wins over Drew Brees and Tom Brady.
24.
Getting Russell Okung back will help the offensive line, but the defensive front is in shambles.
25.
The Cardinals' eight return touchdowns are helping to mask their offensive futility.
26.
It's going to be a long second half of the season for the Bengals.
27.
The Lions are like Ndamukong Suh's kicking: great style points but poor results.
28.
Troy Smith gives the 49ers' offense a different look in a year when continuity was a top priority.
29.
Losers of four in a row before the bye, the Broncos now play host to the division-leading Chiefs
30.
This wasn't the way Jason Garrett envisioned becoming a head coach, taking over an underachieving team at midseason.
31.
Perhaps coach John Fox can sell his next employer on the Panthers' No. 11 defensive ranking.
32.
The Bills are throwing the ball so much they might as well start calling the offense "Air Gailey."
