THAN: NFL rankings update, playoff images after Week 10

NFL Power Rankings

1. Tennessee Titans 8-2 (previous: 3)

The Titans deservedly come out on top for taking down another playoff team in harsh fashion. Mike Vrabel should be getting more attention for coach of the year, and Tennessee’s winning experience from the previous two seasons is starting to pay off big.

2. Green Bay Packers 8-2 (4)

The Packers overcame their stumbling block without their Aaron Rodgers in Week 9 and they came back victorious in Week 10, rolling past the Seahawks with great defense and a consistent move to attack more quickly to Lift a rusty Rodgers. Now they’ll hope Aaron Jones won’t be missing for a long time.

3. Arizona Cardinals 8-2 (1)

The Cardinals can handle a game without Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins, but not a second, especially since they don’t win the battle for revenue and have more defensive problems when run. Besides, Arizona is long overdue for some more regression to the mean.

4. Dallas Cowboys 7-2 (7)

The Cowboys’ offensive team made the most of their flourishing game against the Falcons’ defence, with Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott and CeeDee Lamb pushing their scores into the upper hand. The reward is Trevon Diggs and the defense also received right away in Dan Quinn’s last revenge game.

5. Los Angeles Rams 7-2 (6)

The Rams enjoyed Sunday’s developments, led by the Cardinals losing and the Bucs falling again. They could become the new team to beat in the NFC West by taking an interest in the 49ers’ split chances on Monday night.

6. Buffalo Bills 6-3 (8)

The Bills quickly forgot about their Jaguars clunker by making sure that there were no repeat lines with the Jets. They adjusted the attack well to support the defense with a strong run and that also helped Josh Allen get back on track against another defense trying to take the big game out of him.

7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 6-3 (2)

What is that? The Buccaneers didn’t really restart well after the bye, losing for a second straight with Tom Brady struggling early on with some weapons and defense unable to stop anything as it was widely considered the most prolific in the game. Washington, including pre-run wear and tear. . The Super Bowl champions need to fight the crucial mid-season crossroads with GOAT.

8. Baltimore Raven 6-3 (5)

What is that? Lamar Jackson and the offense cooled down against a mighty, overactive Dolphins defense on the road. The Ravens seem to sort of tie things together as competitive contenders, but it’s the passing game that brings them or the defensive pass that pulls them down.

9. Kansas City Chiefs 6-4 (10)

The Chiefs have stepped into a home game in Las Vegas for good by delivering a more balanced and patient attack they need for Patrick Mahomes. Equally important, their defense bounced back with a strong add-on effort, a good sign for the second half.

10. New England Patriots 6-4 (16)

The Patriots have their recipe with Mac Jones under the lead of Bill Belichick. Keep running at a high level, with whoever is available, open up a comfortable passing game for Jones and set up the defense to do whatever it wants. They quickly went from AFC wild card competition to a strong threat in the playoffs.

11. Los Angeles 5-4 Charger (9)

The Chargers’ electrical breach caused another trouble for Justin Herbert with his big arm not connecting much deeply. Their main defensive issues have now leaked due to some bottom-court coverage issues.

12. Las Vegas Raiders 5-4 (11)

The Raiders were knocked out of the playoffs after losing at home to the Chiefs, in third place behind the Chargers, who they also lost. Derek Carr is trying his best to break through the defence, but his mistake narrows at the wrong time.

13. Pittsburgh Steelers 5-3-1 (12)

The Steelers don’t get total free passes for taking down the Lions without Ben Roethlisberger. They should still attack more with the rest of the team against a bad defence. They need to start making claims as a potential playoff team, or else they’re going to fall into a state of being one and over again.

14. New Orleans Saints 5-4 (13)

The Saints have now lost two games in a row after a big win over the Buccaneers. They have a hard time playing close-up games because their offensive behavior can’t unravel it, and their defense, as best they can, has enough specific vulnerabilities to exploit.

15. Cincinnati Bengals 5-4 (15)

The Bengals stayed for their goodbyes and should have loved the fact that the Ravens and Browns lost and the Steelers tied. Joe Burrow gave them a chance to do anything in the second half, but they needed to find their defensive stats back in the early part of the season.

16. Cleveland Browns 5-5 (14)

The Browns’ attack couldn’t carry the team when they weren’t running at a high level, so when their defense was weak and didn’t adjust as they did with the Patriots, they couldn’t play successful complementary football. Kevin Stefanski and his staff had to get more creative in the second half or risk slipping out of the knockout stages.

17. Minnesota Vikings 4-5 (20)

The Vikings are doing better with single-owner games and their offensive behavior is at its best as Dalvin Cook’s power runs and Justin Jefferson’s reception sets the tone. They’re evolving back into those nasty NFC wild card hopes.

18. Carolina Panthers 5-5 (22)

The Panthers had a huge break without Kyler Murray on the other side and that resulted in their defense dominating in Arizona, fueling their attack with some early lessons. It was Christian McCaffrey, not Cam Newton, who sparked everything, but now the question is whether two successful utility plays from Newton will open the door for him to start compared to Ron Rivera and Washington. or not.

19. Indianapolis Colts 5-5 (19)

The Colts fought back to the .500 thanks to the power of a pounding attack led by Jonathan Taylor and some timely defense, or the formula that brought them into the knockout stages with last season’s Frenk Reich. However, Carson Wentz must return to high-level competition to put them in a real competitive position.

20. Denver Broncos 5-5 (17)

The Broncos have been tore the net by the Eagles at home with sloppy attacking play and inability to defend, or the complete opposite of the Cowboys’ attacks on the road last week. There will be changes to the acting contract if they go free in the second half.

21. Atlanta Falcons 4-5 (18)

The Falcons are another mediocre team that is hard to find, as they were destroyed by the Cowboys after their best performance of the season against the Saints. Defensive problems could continue to put more pressure on Matt Ryan and the ever-changing team.

22. Philadelphia Eagles 4-6 (26)

The Eagles ultimately decided to assist Jalen Hurts through and run with a traditional pounding attack, and it worked, helping to keep his arms and feet steady. The defense is also responding well in add-on football and Nick Sirianni continues to learn more about his team.

23. San Francisco 49ers 3-5 (23)

The 49ers desperately need a win on Monday night to get right into the weak end of the NFC playoff picture. A loss would plunge them deeper behind the Cardinals and Rams and move closer to another disappointing injury season under Kyle Shanahan.

24. Seattle Seahawks 3-6 (21)

The Seahawks brought Russell Wilson back with the winning team return design they usually have, but perhaps rushed back with his finger, causing their offensive behavior to fall short. It was really bad when their defense tried to play too much.

25. Washington Football Team 3-6 (29)

Washington eventually found his defensive groove against the Buccaneers, though they suffered a blow due to Chase Young’s knee injury. Taylor Heinicke still isn’t the long-term answer, but he could still be the solution for the time being even if Ryan Fitzpatrick could return. Credit them for continuing to sharpen Ron Rivera.

26. Chicago Bears 3-6 (24)

The Bears took a goodbye to help Justin Fields feel better as a pass and run rookie. They also need it to get their defenses healthy and efficient to normal.

27. New York Giants 3-6 (27)

The Giants also bid farewell to their desire to deliver a cleaner overall health bill, led by Saquon Barkley and taken over by the legion. Daniel Jones needs a strong finish to secure his spot as a franchisee for 2022.

28. Miami Dolphins 3-7 (30)

The Dolphins’ defense is starting to reach its full potential in attack for Brian Flores once again to make up for the limitations in attack. Year 2 with Tua Tagovailoa did not go as planned.

29. Jacksonville Jaguars 2-7 (27)

The jaguar can’t play well in the laning phase and even if their defence is doing better than that. They tend to offend Trevor Lawrence by not running James Robinson.

30. New York Jets 2-7 (26)

The Jets saw Mike White hit a wall against the Bills’ strong defense with a Zach Wilson bounce just around the corner. The defense is trying their best to get more yards for Robert Saleh but there are still a lot of important gaps to be addressed for 2022.

31. Houston Texans 1-8 (31)

The Texans didn’t compete, so they couldn’t sink further as the worst team without Deshaun Watson in the AFC. They need to end with some respect for rookie David Culley.

32. Detroit Lions 0-8-1 (32)

The Lions won’t become the first 0-17 team in NFL history after winning an ugly overtime draw. Dan Campbell is doing whatever he can to win, but the big goose egg is still a very high possibility.
