We can’t stop the Broncos anymore. 25th in this ranking, Denver has made a leap forward thanks to four consecutive successes. Now close to Top 10Sean Payton’s men have returned to the top of the basket (+7).
At the top of this Power Ranking, the Eagles remain clinging to first place and take down the Chiefs (-2) from the podium, overtaken by the Lions (+1) and the Ravens (+1). The fall of the week is to the credit of the Bengals (-3) and Jets (-3).
As a reminder, this hierarchy is not only based on the number of successes, but also on current form. If two teams are close and haven’t played each other recently, one wonders which one would win if the match were played today. Beating the strongest is not going to propel you to the top in the blink of an eye. Losing to one of the dunces won’t plunge you into the abyss either. One can win and tumble, bow and climb. This is the merciless law of Power Ranking…
