We know more things than we used to know. The Cardinals? They are not the same team as 2015. The Steelers? Yeah, that drubbing by the Eagles was probably more blip than not. The Falcons can score a ton of points, but nobody can score on Denver or Minnesota. What does it all add up to? Just another definitive round of the FYS Power Rankings.
| RANK | TEAM | STUFF |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Denver Broncos | The Broncos are undefeated with a top five scoring offense and defense. Rare air. |
| 2 | Minnesota Vikings | Really basically a "1.a" at this point, the Vikings have not given up over 17 points since December 14, 2015 |
| 3 | New England Patriots | The Patriots had to fall out of the top spot after losing badly to Buffalo, but Tom Terrific returns next week. |
| 4 | Philadelphia Eagles | They didn't play. So that's nice. |
| 5 | Pittsburgh Steelers | A precipitous drop in last week's rankings is offset by a merciless beating of last-week top five contender Kansas City. |
| 6 | Atlanta Falcons | The only thing faster than Atlanta's rise up the ranks is Julio Jones. |
| 7 | Seattle Seahawks | Jimmy Graham lives! |
| 8 | Green Bay Packers | Its always tough to lose two spots while sitting at home. |
| 9 | Los Angeles Rams | They just keep winning, and now get the chance to kick Detroit while its down. |
| 10 | Oakland Raiders | Handing the Ravens their first loss while your still-youthful quarterback throws four touchdowns? Priceless. |
| 11 | Houston Texans | Not exactly an impressive win over the Titans, but Houston holds serve. |
| 12 | Dallas Cowboys | Dak threw some touchdowns and the 49ers couldn't keep up. |
| 13 | Baltimore Ravens | They have not really beat anyone, and losing at home is not a good look. But they are still 3-1. |
| 14 | Cincinnati Bengals | After a very impressive game from AJ Green and a win over the lackluster Dolphins, they begin a slow creep upwards. |
| 15 | Kansas City Chiefs | The big drop for the week, but getting smoked will do that. |
| 16 | New York Giants | Eli was a disaster, but who isn't against the Vikings this year? Dropping two spots feels right. |
| 17 | Washington Redskins | Many assumed they would win a weak division, but the Cowboys have impressed and the Giants are hanging around as always. Can this team repeat? |
| 18 | Carolina Panthers | Dropping two more spots after losing yet again. Its true that they have lost to winning teams, but this defense is certainly changed. |
| 19 | Buffalo Bills | Playing footsie with a winning record. |
| 20 | Arizona Cardinals | I am still afraid to say so, but it seems like they might be bad. |
| 21 | New Orleans Saints | If you beat the Chargers on the road, you must be better than the Chargers. And... |
| 22 | San Diego Chargers | This feels like the right spot for the Chargers. |
| 23 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | A season that started out with promise is looking more and more disappointing. |
| 24 | New York Jets | They don't really do anything well. I am having a hard time understanding the media love. |
| 25 | San Fransisco 49ers | OK. |
| 26 | Chicago Bears | Ick. |
| 27 | Detroit Lions | Honestly, after losing to the Bears, your punishment should be more severe. |
| 28 | Tennessee Titans | MariNOta. |
| 29 | Jacksonville Jaguars | You got a win! |
| 30 | Miami Dolphins | The only way the AFC South could be worse is if this team was in that division, as it should be. |
| 31 | Indianapolis Colts | Honestly, Cleveland may actually be better than the Colts. After Luck, they have basically nothing going for them. |
| 32 | Cleveland Browns | As an only-defeated team, this spot was made just for you. |
