NFL power rankings, Week 11: Packers make their move
Despite a litany of injuries, the Green Bay Packers are rolling and moving towards the top of our NFL power rankings, NFC edition.
16. Detroit Lions
The Lions aren’t going to go 0-17! They might go 0-16-1, but they won’t lose them all.
15. New York Giants
After a bye, the Giants get the extra day off this week before facing a furious Buccaneers team on Monday night on the road. Not an easy assignment.
14. Chicago Bears
Justin Fields played the best game of his young career against the Steelers last Monday. Can he build off that showing against the Bears?
13. Washington Football Team
Taylor Heinicke completely outplayed Tom Brady in one of the weekend’s biggest upsets. Washington is somehow only 1.5 games out of a playoff spot.
12. Seattle Seahawks
Russell Wilson was awful, the rest of the team wasn’t any better, and Seattle is now 3-6 and fighting to stay alive.

11. Atlanta Falcons
At 4-5, the Falcons are in the NFL power rankings mix but have to find consistency. Atlanta was blown out by the Cowboys and now has a quick turnaround with the New England Patriots coming into town on Thursday.
10. Philadelphia Eagles
Jalen Hurts had a terrific game in Denver, using his arm and legs to captain a 30-13 win. A huge game looms against the Saints.
9. Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings went into Los Angeles and saved their season — at least for now — with a win over the Chargers.
8. Carolina Panthers
Cam Newton looked good in limited action, and the Panthers are currently sitting in the NFC’s final wild card slot.
7. San Francisco 49ers
Huge win for the 49ers, who can look at the wild card picture and believe they have a strong shot.

6. New Orleans Saints
The Saints got hosed by the NFL with a horrific, phantom roughing the passer call. That said, New Orleans has to find some more offense.
5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
If the Bucs can’t defend Taylor Heinicke and Washington’s limited weapons, that’s a major problem. Even with injuries, that’s awful.
4. Los Angeles Rams
Los Angeles has looked awful in two consecutive primetime games. Time to get rolling again as the stretch drive is approaching.
3. Dallas Cowboys
After being shocked by the Denver Broncos, the Cowboys bounced back and crushed Atlanta 43-3. Now, a trip to Arrowhead Stadium.
2. Arizona Cardinals
Arizona needs Kyler Murray back in the worst way. The Cardinals remain elite, but they’re beat up on the offensive side of the ball.
1. Green Bay Packers
The Packers suddenly have a quality defense to go with Aaron Rodgers. That’s a huge development for Green Bay’s championship hopes.
