Predominantly Orange Week 13 NFL Power Rankings
By Steven Kriz
5. Atlanta Falcons (7)
As if the Falcons offense wasn’t potent enough, throw in a speedster like Taylor Gabriel and this could be an offense that can reach a Super Bowl. The Falcons just dismantled the Cardinals Sunday, and Gabriel was unleashed on the scene. Defensive coordinators beware, the Falcons are very good.
6. New York Giants (9)
It’s not always pretty, but 8-3 is 8-3. The Giants are hot, and have found out how to win the close ones that they couldn’t win a year ago. Barring a collapse, this team should find a way to get a wildcard birth at the very least. They also happen to be the only team to beat the Cowboys, so an NFC East title isn’t out of question if they can beat them again.
7. Miami Dolphins (10)
If the season ended today, the Dolphins would be in, and the defending champion Broncos would be out. There was a time early in the year where the Dolphins appeared to be the worst team in the NFL. Since then, they’ve won six straight, and would like to give the Patriots a run for the AFC East.
8. Seattle Seahawks (4)
If there is one thing the Seahawks are struggling with, it’s offensive consistency. The Seahawks now have three games this season where they have scored no touchdowns. Other games their offense looks unstoppable. Which Seahawks team will show up on a week-to-week basis is a complete mystery.
