by Week 9 of the NFL season is in the books, and if you’re anything like the Dallas Cowboys, you’re ready to move on. But before we do that, let’s take one last look at the past week.
Here are the NFL Power Rankings ahead of Week 10.
How the mighty have fallen. These aren’t even your older brother’s New England Patriots anymore. The Patriots are having an identity crisis in the worst way this season.
The team that defeated the Patriots, the Tennessee Titans, finally had a good week. However, beating the worst team in the league in overtime doesn’t sound all that impressive.
The New Orleans Saints lost to the Carolina Panthers and fired their coach the same week. The New Orleans Saints won’t be coming out of the NFL cellar anytime soon.
Two weeks ago, the Cleveland Browns celebrated a victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Now they look to bounce back after being dominated by the Chargers. Crazy how quickly things can change in the NFL.
The Jacksonville Jaguars almost made a huge comeback on Sunday. However, it is another week where fans are looking at a loss.
The Carolina Panthers had a huge win over the Saints. But it could be the franchise’s biggest moment this season.
The Raiders were blown out by the Cincinnati Bengals 41-10. Things aren’t going well in Las Vegas, which means the franchise may be looking to make a change at head coach.
Even with Tua back at quarterback, the Miami Dolphins couldn’t get over the hump by beating the Buffalo Bills. A recap of the Mike McDaniel era in Miami.
Hey, Daniel Jones finally threw a touchdown in a home game. Unfortunately for the Giants, the team still took the loss.
The Chicago Bears’ hot start to the season now looks like smoke and mirrors. The Bears are at a crossroads and Week 10 may tell the story of their season.
The Broncos were decimated by the Baltimore Ravens in Week 9. However, this team is still in a great position to secure a Wild Card spot in the AFC.
A typical Matthew Stafford play helped the Rams beat the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9. Never count out the Rams when Stafford is under center.
Your beloved Dallas Cowboys are a Texas-sized mess this season. Injuries and offensive play-calling have sent this franchise into a tailspin.
The Colts benched Anthony Richardson due to a lack of effort, and even with him, this team still leaves a lot to be desired.
The Cardinals continued their 2024 Jekyll and Hyde performances with a win over the Chicago Bears. The win also put Arizona atop the odd NFC West.
The Bengals continue to show signs of life, but against lesser opponents. But you play the teams on your schedule, and the Bengals do that and win.
Will the Jets actually make a run? Their Thursday night win over the Houston Texans proves that the Aaron Rodgers story may not be over yet.
The story is that Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has no offensive weapons. However, Herbert keeps dealing and keeps winning. These chargers may not be as bad off as people think.
I don’t want to put a time of death on this magical run Geno Smith has had with the Seahawks. But it feels like the wheels are slowly turning in Seattle.
The 49ers have been dealing with a lot of injuries this season, but they got some great news that Christian McCaffrey could make his expected debut this week.
The Eagles almost let a big win slip away in Week 9. The key word, however, was almost. The Eagles have problems, but winning can fix them.
Jordan Love was visibly injured during the Packers’ rainy loss to the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field. If Love doesn’t get healthy this season, it could very well be over for Green Bay.
Many people disagree with the Steelers’ decision to sign Russell Wilson after Justin Fields’ stellar start to the season. However, Wilson’s return has breathed new life into the Steelers offense.
The Buccaneers took the Kansas City Chiefs to the limit on Monday night, but the offensive injuries proved to be too much for Tampa Bay.
The Texans are gearing up this week for a huge showdown against the Lions on Sunday night. The game will be a great match for both franchises.
The Falcons are on cruise control in the NFC South. With such a potent offense, the Falcons could certainly make some noise in the postseason.
The Vikings got things back on track with their win over the Colts on Sunday night. This team will still be a major problem for the Lions in the NFC North.
The Commanders continue to pile up wins, and it’s all because they found their franchise quarterback in Jayden Daniels. The NFC East could soon be owned by the Commanders for the next decade.
The top four teams in the NFL are playing like monsters among men right now. The Bills were a wrecking ball and proved it with a last-second win over the Dolphins.
The Ravens trounced the Broncos in Week 9 as quarterback Lamar Jackson continues to outpace every other MVP candidate.
The Lions went into Lambeau Field, a place where they weren’t supposed to win because quarterback Jared Goff can’t play outside, and did just that: win. This team is coming for the throne. They can’t miss the best.
The Chiefs have gone undefeated with such ease this season that it should scare the rest of the league. Adding DeAndre Hopkins doesn’t help either. A three-peat for Kansas City doesn’t feel that far-fetched.
