NFL Week 10 Power Rankings

Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2). James Harrison thought about the fines when he made the hit on Jordan Shipley to end the game. Well, if thinking about fines caused you to make a legal, clean hit with the shoulder to separate the ball from receiver rather than a helmet shot, good. Stop the whining.
New York Giants (6-2). The Giants are going to exceed their EPA-recommended Kitna exposure levels this month.
Baltimore Ravens (6-2). Baltimore put a pretty big dent in the Dolphins’ chances.
Tennessee Titans (5-3). Will the Moss factor open up big plays for Johnson? I’m going to say yes.
Green Bay Packers (6-3). The defense is balling, and now they have a bye week to get healthier.
New York Jets (6-2). The two teams involved in the Sanchez draft trade square off this week.
Philadelphia Eagles (5-3). The Mike Vick hype has died down, but he returned to play a good game on Sunday. Eagles are lurking.
Indianapolis Colts (5-3). The 12-win streak looks like it will end, playoff streak may as well.
Atlanta Falcons (6-2). Atlanta is better version of Tampa Bay.
New Orleans Saints (6-3). I’m this close to shooting this team back up, as they are playing much better defensively and are about to get their backs healthy.
New England Patriots (6-2). Brady first 4 games: 70% completions, 7.4 ypa, 9 td, 2 int. Last 4 games: 58%, 6.6 ypa, 5 td, 2 int.
Kansas City Chiefs (5-3).
San Diego Chargers (4-5). Chargers should be the test case for the team in the NFL that never punts. Best passing offense, and can’t block rushers or stop returners. They would be so much better off.
Oakland Raiders (5-4). expletive expletive Jacoby Ford expletive.
Cleveland Browns (3-5). Brady Quinn wasn’t a complete waste, Browns fans. He got you Peyton Hillis.
Miami Dolphins (4-4). Must beat Tennessee to have any chance.
Detroit Lions (2-6). Why didn’t they go for 2 rather than have Suh try an extra point?
Houston Texans (4-4). Some dude named Kajagoogoo went for 100 yards against this defense. They are bad.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-3). This team just knows how to win close games.
Washington Redskins (4-4). Shanahan just announced that the real reason he benched McNabb was because of federal wage and hour laws. Apparently, Donovan was milking the clock on Friday.
Chicago Bears (5-3). Matt Forte couldn’t run through a wet paper bag . . . or the Bills Defense, which is even more paper thin.
Minnesota Vikings (3-5). That was Brett playing like a kid out there.
St. Louis Rams (4-4). Are we back, once again, to thinking the Rams may be the best of this sorry NFC West group?
Cincinnati Bengals (2-6). Every time I see you falling, I get down on my knees and pray. I’m waiting for that final moment, you say the words that I can’t say.
Jacksonville Jaguars (4-4). This team just keeps chopping wood.
San Francisco 49ers (2-6). This is about that time that expectations start creeping back in as we haven’t had to watch SF for two weeks, because they have the division in front of them with home game against Seattle and four games against Rams and Cardinals.
Seattle Seahawks (4-4). This team is a hot mess. Charlie Whitehurst, ugh.
Arizona Cardinals (3-5). This team is flat out terrible.
Denver Broncos (2-6). What is it with sportswriters in Denver and dead brain tissue? Woody Paige: “He [Orton] certainly isn’t completely to blame for a season gone in the tank.” Well, good, we are agreed then, it’s the defense and lack of running game. Oh, never mind. I read the rest of it.
Buffalo Bills (0-8). Handgrenades and Horseshoes.
Dallas Cowboys (1-7). Throw the records out the window. This team is 0-0 under Jason Garrett. Soon to be 0-1. And then 1-7 again.
Carolina Panthers (1-7). When Matt Moore being out for the rest of the year is disastrous news, well, it’s been a bad year.
