Predominantly Orange Week Ten NFL Power Rankings

1 of 8

The Cowboys remain hot, the Browns are not. While the Broncos faltered and the Raiders rose up. Who is number one? Check the Week Ten Power Rankings here.

Week nine was one of the most predictable weeks in recent memory. That doesn’t mean there wasn’t movement in the Top-5 of the Power Rankings. The Raiders have now solidified themselves as a top team, and the defending champion Broncos have a lot of issues they need to work out when trying to climb their way back to the top.

Meanwhile, in Dallas, Dak Prescott is having one of the best rookie seasons we have ever seen from a quarterback. What’s even crazier than that, he might not be the best rookie on his own team. See who fell where here:

1. New England Patriots (1)

The best team in football just got a nice week off to charge the batteries. Tom Brady is playing the best football of his career at the age of 39—a modern miracle to say the least. The 2016 season does not feature hardly any teams that come off as a power house. The Patriots are really the only team that seem great.

2. Dallas Cowboys (2)

One crazy thing to watch with the Cowboys is the fact that they have two players that could be in the mix for Rookie of the Year, and MVP—Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott. It is remarkable to watch these two rookies perform like seasoned vets, and are really at the heart of the 7-1 start by the Cowboys. Tony Romo, please get comfortable holding the clipboard.

3. Oakland Raiders (5)

7-2, first place in the AFC West—all of this is uncharted territory for the Raiders. Their offense is very good and their defense got the best medicine at all—a game with the Broncos offense. Regardless they finally have a signature win and they are rolling right now. For the first time in 14 years, this team has legitimate playoff aspirations.

4. Kansas City Chiefs (4)

It’s hard to win in the NFL, so a team should never apologize for squeaking by the lowly Jaguars at home. However, it is likely that they are eager to get Alex Smith back into the lineup sooner rather than later. This Chiefs team has some Jeckyll and Hyde to it. It’s always a mystery which one is going to show up.
