The top three teams flexed their muscles and showed why they've been the best in the NFL this season.

First, the Patriots defense dominated again, leading them to a 13-9 home win over the Cowboys. It was New England's most impressive performance on that side of the ball yet, as Dallas' offense is No. 1 in total offense this season.

It was also the first time this season Dallas hasn't scored a touchdown.

Although the Patriots offense wasn't too impressive against the Cowboys, they made plays when they needed to pull out the victory. Tom Brady threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to rookie receiver N'Keal Harry late in the first quarter, and New England held on for its 18th straight regular-season victory at home.

On Sunday night, the 49ers recorded their biggest win of the season so far, dominating the Packers in a 37-8 rout. Green Bay, which entered at 8-2, was expected to be San Francisco's toughest competition yet, but the 49ers controlled the game from the start.

San Francisco, which improved to 10-1, is the surprise team of the NFL this season—except to its own players.

"We don't worry about the outside noise," 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman said, according to the Associated Press (h/t ESPN.com). "We understand what kind of team we have, and we don't worry about the opponent because you can't control what they do."

San Francisco faces two huge road games in the next two weeks, Baltimore and New Orleans, which could go a long way to determining if they get home-field advantage in the playoffs.

The Ravens had a dominant victory of their own on Monday night, rolling to a 45-6 road win over the Rams. Lamar Jackson matched a career-high with five touchdown passes as Baltimore won its seventh straight game.

Per the Elias Sports Bureau (h/t ESPN Stats and Info), the Ravens are the first team in NFL history to win back-to-back games against winning teams by 34 or more points. They defeated the Texans at home 41-7 last week.

It should be an exciting game—and a potential Super Bowl preview—when the Ravens host the 49ers this Sunday. These are two of the best teams in the NFL, and it could shake up the top of the power rankings for next week.

Plus, Baltimore already owns a win over New England. So, it would be even more impressive for it to add a victory against San Francisco as well.
