Week 12 saw multiple top-5 teams fall, creating a shift at the top of the Power Rankings.  Dallas still continues their dominance and hold the number 1 spot.

The Week 13 Power Rankings are here. With both Denver and Seattle falling, we have a new top-5. The top two spots have not changed however, as Dallas and New England have clearly been the two best, and most consistent teams in the NFL. See how they rank here:

1. Dallas Cowboys (1)

If it wasn’t official already, the Cowboys have two bonafide rookie superstars, and are the bonafide number one team in the NFL. What a time to be a Cowboys fan.

2. New England Patriots (2)

The Pats had their struggles Sunday, but ultimately pulled it out when it mattered—something great teams do. Something concerning though, is that Gronk left with a back injury.  Back injuries aren’t typically injuries that heal quickly. If Gronk is out, the Pats aren’t the same team. This is certainly something to keep an eye on.

3. Oakland Raiders (3)

It seems every week that the Raiders find new ways to win. What is becoming more and more apparent is that Derek Carr is on a quick path to greatness. The Raiders are going to be good for a long time.

4. Kansas City Chiefs (6)

Talk about a gut check. The Chiefs just stole a game they weren’t supposed to win in one of the toughest places to play in all the world. Kansas City has a tendency to play up or down to their opponents, but if they can keep the pedal to the metal, they certainly have a great shot to win the AFC West.
