NFL: Week Seven NFL Power Rankings
By Steven Kriz
29. Miami Dolphins (30)
Not sure where this Dolphins team came from, but Adam Gase would certainly like to see more of them. This team knocked around the Steelers and their high flying offensive attack. There is little chance that this team can do enough to secure a playoff birth, but steady improvement is going to help Adam Gase’s job security moving forward.
30. Chicago Bears (29)
Two things seem very likely with the Bears. 1) John Fox could certainly be out with the Bears after only two seasons. 2) Jay Cutler has likely seen his final snaps—barring injury to Brian Hoyer—as the starting quarterback fro the Bears. Hoyer has now gone over 300 yards passing for his fourth straight game, becoming the first Bears quarterback in over 50 years to do so. Of course, none of this matters since only one of the efforts has lead to a win.
31. San Francisco 49ers (31)
The good news for the Niners—Colin Kaepernick represented a major upgrade over Blaine Gabbert. The bad news—the upgrade was only good enough to lose to the Bills by 29 points.
32. Cleveland Browns (32)
Another week, another loss for the last place Browns. Now it sounds as if the only player on the roster that isn’t available in trade is Terrelle Pryor. Perhaps they are trying to field an entire 53-man roster off of 2017 draft picks alone. Let the fire-sale begin.
