Wes Welker caught 15 balls, beating the Jets pretty good on Sunday. Your power teams, New Orleans, Indianapolis, and Minnesota, all remain in their respective No.s one, two, and three.

New Orleans is at 10-0. The same for Indianapolis at 10-0, with Minnesota at 9-1.New England is a dangerous  team at 7-3.

 Number four is now New England, bumping out Cincinnati, who lost to the Raiders.

No. five in the power rankings now are the San Diego Chargers, who are on a roll and now also 7-3.

No. six is now the Bengals taking an un-needed loss at Oakland and now 7-3.

Dallas moves up and is now No. seven at 7-3 for the season.

Arizona is getting comfortable in this position and knocked off Seattle easily to keep the No. eight position. Arizona is also 7-3, a popular number.

No. nine is now Pittsburgh ,taking a tumble down the ladder ,after getting schooled by Kansas City. The Steelers are 6-4.

No. 10 are the New York Giants after a gritty win at home beating Atlanta. Also 6-4.

No 11 are the surging Green Bay Packers who with a win next week against the Lions can reach 7-4. Very good positioning for a possible wild-card.

No 13 are now the Eagles at 5-5 if they beat the Bears tonight. They really need to win out.

The surprising Jacksonville team has vaulted into 14th place also being 6-4.

The Broncos continue to fall and now are at No.  12. 6-4 also.

Houston needs a win on Monday Night to move up. if they beat Tennessee. Right now, they are No. 15.

The Ravens are 5-5 and hover around the number 16 position.

Atlanta is now 5-5 and biting the bullet week after week. No. 17 is now yours. Just average.

Miami is ar 5-5 and has the misfortune of being 2 games behind New England, who might beat New Orleans next week.

Miami holds spot No. 18.

The best 4-6 team are the Jets, I suppose, and  they occupy No. 19.

No. 20 also at 4-6, are the Forty-Niners. Not going to the playoffs, are these 4-6 teams.

No. 21 is Carolina also, a poor 2009/2010 effort at 4-6.

The best 3-7 team is the Kansas City Chiefs after beating the Steelers. No. 22 to the Chiefs. Good job, moving up out of the slime of losing.

The Bears are the opposite of Kansas City. At 3-7. theu should be ashamed of themselves. Number 23 and falling.

Tennesee is at number 24, but could move up, with an upset over the Houston Texans.

Oakland also moves up in the standings and grabs No. 25 with a big win over the Bengals.

Washington is at No. 26 and also fading fast.

Buffalo is a pretty bad team, with no head coach. 3-7 and No. 27.

No. 28 are the Seattle Seahawks who at 2-8 are going no where again this season.

No 29 are the Detroit Lions, who have beat Washington and Cleveland. That's it.

Tampa Bay has made a few good efforts in thier losses so No. 30 to them.

St Louis has a win and Steven Jackson, so they have the No.31 spot.

And the worst team in pro football is still the Cleveland Browns.
