Bleacher Report NFL Power Rankings: Week Seven

21 (21) Minnesota Vikings (.3527) – A win's a win, right? Even when you don't deserve it. (Angel Navedo)

22 (25) Cleveland Browns (.2946) – Not so fast, Brady Quinn. (Shane Howard)

23 (14) Baltimore Ravens (.2857) – We know the offense is lackluster, but what happened to the defense? (Shane Howard)

24 (19) Miami Dolphins (.2813) – So you beat New England, then the Chargers...and the next week you lose to a previously winless team? Dude, you guys are like—tripping Ricky Williams out. (Eric Gomez)

25 (29) Houston Texans (.2277) – Guts. The quarterback draw on the last play of the game to win is pure guts. But then again, what did they have to lose?  (Shaun Ahmad)

26 (24) San Francisco 49ers (.1964) – Plenty of offense, not enough defense. That’s on you, Mike Nolan. (Shaun Ahmad)

27 (27) Seattle Seahawks (.1205) – Did the 12th Man ask for a trade before the Tuesday deadline?  (Shane Howard)

28 (32) St. Louis Rams (.1027) – Next three games: Dallas, @ New England, Arizona. Who says things got easier for the Rams once Jim Haslett took over? (Eric Gomez)

29 (26) Oakland Raiders (.0938) – It’s clear why Lane Kiffin didn’t like or want to draft JaMarcus Russell—an Al Davis pick. 13/35 for 159 yards and no touchdowns against a New Orleans defense that is full of holes? Like I said back when he was selected, Russell has BUST written on his forehead. (Shaun Ahmad)

30 (28) Kansas City Chiefs (.0804) – Good news! They didn't lose this week. (Angel Navedo)

31 (30) Cincinnati Bengals (.0670) – The good news? They have Carson Palmer instead of Dan Orlovsky/Jon Kitna. The bad news? They've won the same amount of games. (Alex McVeigh)

32 (31) Detroit Lions (.0134) – Believe it or not, trading Roy Williams was a good move. They get a first, third, and sixth-round pick out of it, and with Williams’ contract expiring this season, it wasn’t like they were going to be able to re-sign him anyway.  Number of smart things Detroit has done this season: Two (firing Matt Millen was the other). (Shaun Ahmad)

Biggest Jump: Arizona Cardinals are UP seven spots (15th last week to 8th this week)

Biggest Drop: New England Patriots are DOWN 10 spots (10th last week to 20th this week)
