2008 in the NFL is a season for the ages, and Week 11 did not disappoint. Week 11 had many shootouts and showdowns all around the league. The big stories include the Titans staying undefeated at 10-0, the Jets beating the Patriots in overtime to reach the top of the standings in the AFC East, and the Cowboys having their revenge on the Redskins.
Without boring you with details, I present to you Week 12’s Power Rankings.
32. Lions 0-10
The Lions are officially one week closer to going 0-16. There is not much to report on when it comes to the Lions. Good luck against the 7-3 Buccaneers in Week 12!
31. Chiefs 1-9
The Chiefs once again fought valiantly in Week 11 only to come up short of pay dirt. Tyler Thigpen has continued to perform well and with Larry Johnson back in the lineup, less stress will be put on Thigpen’s shoulders.
The Chiefs have the ability and schedule in place to possibly win a game or two before season’s end, maybe even this Sunday against a fallen 5-5 Bills team.
30. Bengals 1-8-1
Chad “Ocho Cinco” Johnson has remained relatively quiet this season while battling through injuries while T.J. Houshmandzadeh has now taken the podium as the wide receiver on the Bengals with the biggest mouth.
Many of us saw T.J. throw his temper tantrums all day long in the Bengals overtime tie to the Eagles. Now at 1-8-1, will the Bengals finally place Carson Palmer on the injured reserve?
29. Raiders 2-8
I have spoken to many Raiders fans as of late and I agree with them as many have said the Raiders will not return to glory until the former mastermind owner turned Crypt Keeper, Al Davis finally bites the dust. Many of those Raiders fans are still wishing Lane Kiffin was still leading the team this season.
The offense has been non-existent and his looked horrible while interim coach Tom Cable has been in charge. Will the Raiders be humiliated once again by the Broncos in Week 12, or will they revenge their Week One blowout?
28. Seahawks 2-8
Matt Hasselbeck and Deion Branch’s returns were not enough as the Seahawks lost their third straight game on Sunday against the division leading Cardinals. Hasselbeck looked extra rusty, throwing for three interceptions on the day. Poor Mike Holmgren…
27. Rams 2-8
The past three weeks have been absolutely brutal for the Rams. They have surrendered over 30 points in each of the past three games and haven’t scored more than 16 points themselves in that span.
There is a long list of positions the Rams will be shopping around for and drafting in the offseason. Jim Haslett will have to energize his team in hopes to turn things around as the Bears come to town this week.
26. 49ers 3-7
Congratulations to Mike Singletary on his first win as the 49ers head coach! Shaun Hill may be the answer in San Francisco after managing the 49er offense efficiently in Sunday’s blowout win over the Rams. Hill will have his hands full in Week 12, as the 49ers head to Dallas to face the 6-4 Cowboys.
25. Texans
