Welcome to the post-Week 11 edition of triggering power rankings.
Check here for last week’s edition
No. 32: New York Jets (+0)
The Jets were competitive again, but they fell short against the Chargers in Los Angeles.
No. 31: Cincinnati Bengals (-8)
With Joe Burrow out for the rest of the season, the Bengals might be the worst team in the NFL.
No. 30: Jacksonville Jaguars (+0)
The Jaguars were drubbed by the Steelers. Mike Glennon will start this week. Yikes.
No. 29: Detroit Lions (-2)
The Lions scored enough points on Sunday to reflect their football talent: zero.
No. 28: Philadelphia Eagles (-3)
The Eagles may be leading the NFC East at the moment, but they have been awful for much of the season. Carson Wentz and his 14 interceptions are the new norms in Philly.
No. 27: Washington Football Team (+1)
The Football Team has a strong defensive line, and Alex Smith is not as turnover-prone as Wentz.
No. 26: Denver Broncos (+3)
The Broncos shocked the world with a win over the Dolphins. The defense is still talented, but the offense is a mess.
No. 25: San Francisco 49ers (+1)
The 49ers enjoyed a Week 11 bye week.
No. 24: New York Giants (+0)
The Giants enjoyed a Week 11 bye week.
No. 23: Dallas Cowboys (+8)
Andy Dalton had a bounce-back game, and the Cowboys stunned Minnesota. Dallas is back to being a relevant football team.
No. 22: Atlanta Falcons (-4)
The Falcons lost to a superior Saints team. The offense looked inept, and Matt Ryan had his worst game of the season.
No. 21: Minnesota Vikings (-5)
Instead of continuing their siege on the playoffs, the Vikings chose to implode. Brave.
No. 20: Los Angeles Chargers (+2)
Justin Herbert and the Chargers got back in the win column. They may only win a handful of games in 2020, but Herbert is the real deal.
No. 19: Chicago Bears (+0)
The Bears enjoyed a Week 11 bye week.
No. 18: New England Patriots (-1)
The rollercoaster of a season continued for the Patriots, falling to the Texans.
No. 17: Carolina Panthers (+4)
Carolina had a well-rounded performance. Teddy Bridgewater is slated to return in Week 12.
No. 16: Houston Texans (+4)
The Texans may only have three wins, but they could beat any team ranked 17 to 32 if they played this week.
No. 15: Baltimore Ravens (-6)
The Ravens will be 6-5 when Week 12 is over.
No. 14: Arizona Cardinals (-4)
The Cardinals fell short in their comeback attempt against the Seahawks. Kyler Murray’s MVP candidacy is slipping.
No. 13: Cleveland Browns (+2)
The Browns may be the NFL’s best team in the trenches. Offensively, they could have as many as four Pro Bowlers. Defensively, Myles Garrett is one of the best players in football. Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt are dynamic runners, and the Browns are serious playoff contenders.
No. 12: Miami Dolphins (-5)
Miami’s loss in Denver is one of the ugliest losses of the season to this point. Tua Tagovailoa was benched, but he will return as the starter in Week 12.
No. 11: Seattle Seahawks (+3)
Seattle had a strong victory over the Cardinals. The pass rush has come on in recent weeks, and Russell Wilson limited his turnovers.
No. 10: Tennessee Titans (+3)
The Titans had an impressive 11-point comeback in Baltimore before sending a dagger through the Ravens’ playoff hopes in overtime. The Titans can regain control over the AFC South with a victory on Sunday.
No. 9: Indianapolis Colts (+2)
The Colts knocked off the Packers in overtime. With a win over the Titans on Sunday, the Colts would move into total control of the AFC South.
No. 8: Las Vegas Raiders (+4)
Despite losing, the Raiders had one of the most impressive games of the season. Derek Carr is a legitimate Pro Bowl quarterback in 2020, and the trench play is among the best in the league. The defense is worrisome, but the offense can hide some defensive warts.
No. 7: Green Bay Packers (-2)
The Packers were undermined by a Marquez Valdes-Scantling fumble in overtime. WIthout the fumble, they likely leave Indianapolis with a victory.
No. 6: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-2)
The Buccaneers only lost by three, but it was an ugly performance by Tom Brady. Nearly the entire roster played at a high level, but Brady was atrocious, throwing a pair of interceptions including a game-sealing one on the final drive.
No. 5: Los Angeles Rams (+3)
The Rams went into Tampa Bay and stunned the Buccaneers. Jared Goff was not perfect, but he was efficient. Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods had dominant performances, and the Rams are in play for the top seed in the NFC.
No. 4: Buffalo Bills (+2)
The Bills enjoyed a Week 11 bye week.
No. 3: New Orleans Saints (+0)
Taysom Hill stepped in for Drew Brees and did not miss a beat. The defense stifled the Falcons to the tune of eight sacks and a pair of interceptions. It was an incredibly well-rounded performance, and the Saints are the team to beat in the NFC.
No. 2: Kansas City Chiefs (-1)
The Chiefs have the highest ceiling in the NFL with Patrick Mahomes at the helm, but they no longer have the highest floor. The defense has slipped in recent weeks, and it would need to be sturdy to knock off the new top team.
No. 1: Pittsburgh Steelers (+1)
In this week’s episode of “Pittsburgh isn’t the best team in the NFL,” Pittsburgh becomes the best team in the NFL.
Wait.
Is that how that works?
