NFL Power Rankings Week 10: Patriots Fall From Top, Who Is the New No. 1?
NFL power rankings for Week 10 are going up across the interwebs and this 2010 regular season continues to surprise and shock fans and experts across the land week in and week out.
How about those Cleveland Browns?
Rookie quarterback Colt McCoy may not have his team in the No. 1 spot (yet), but he is playing solid football against the league's top teams and it really does look like the Browns have found their future leader for many years to come.
Without delay, I am Daniel Wolf, Bleacher Report's NFL featured content coordinator, and here are my updated rankings for all 32 NFL teams.
32. Buffalo Bills (0-8)
1 of 32
Last game: Lost 22-19 to the Bears
Last week's ranking: 32
The Bills have lost their third straight game by three points. They are getting closer to winning their first game, though.
Next game: Home vs. Lions
31. Dallas Cowboys (1-7)
2 of 32
Last game: Lost 45-7 to the Packers
Last week's ranking: 30
D-Day has come and gone for Wade Phillips, and the entire country can feel the new head coach of America's team, Jason Garrett.
Next game: At Giants
30. Carolina Panthers (1-7)
3 of 32
Last game: Lost 34-3 to the Saints
Last week's ranking: 31
Panthers move ahead of the Cowboys because there is no reason a team with as much talent as Dallas is as bad as it it. At least the Panthers have the rebuilding excuse.
Next game: At Bucs
29. Denver Broncos (2-6)
4 of 32
Last game: BYE
Last week's ranking: 29
Josh McDaniels has the Broncos at 4-14 since their 2009 6-0 start.
Next game: Home vs. Chiefs
28. Cincinnati Bengals (2-6)
5 of 32
Last game: Lost 27-21 to the Steelers
Last week's ranking: 25
Terrell Owens is on pace to finish this season with 110 receptions for 1,540 yards and 20 touchdowns. Not bad for the 36-year-old. Too bad the rest of the team cannot seem to get it together.
Next game: At Colts
27. San Francisco 49ers (2-6)
6 of 32
Last game: BYE
Last week's ranking: 28
Is this quarterback Troy Smith's team now? That may be answered in Week 10 in a divisional showdown against the Rams.
Next game: Home vs. Rams
26. Detroit Lions (2-6)
7 of 32
Last game: Lost 23-20 to the Jets
Last week's ranking: 27
Ever see a 300-pound-plus defensive lineman kick an extra point? If not, go YouTube it right now.
Next game: At Bills
25. Arizona Cardinals (3-5)
8 of 32
Last game: Lost 27-24 to the Vikings
Last week's ranking: 22
Poor Larry Fitzgerald...you can bet he really wants some consistency out of the quarterback position.

9 of 32
Last game: Won 27-24 over the Cardinals
Last week's ranking: 26
Brett Favre has a career day on Sunday in both passing completions and yards without a man named Moss on the field. Nice.
Next game: At Bears
23. San Diego Chargers (4-5)
10 of 32
Last game: Won 29-23 over the Texans
Last week's ranking: 23
Philip Rivers is a passing juggernaut who doesn't need his top receivers to put up big numbers on any given Sunday.
Next game: BYE
22. Jacksonville Jaguars (4-4)
11 of 32
Last game: BYE
Last week's ranking: 20
Can quarterback David Garrard continue to play like it is 2009 all over again after the bye week?

12 of 32
Last game: BYE

14 of 32
Last game: Won 34-14 over the Patriots
Last week's ranking: 24
The Browns are easily the league's best 3-5 team right now, and the Jets need to watch out in Week 10, because the Browns are on a mission to play spoiler every week moving forward.
Next game: Home vs. Jets
18. Oakland Raiders (5-4)
15 of 32
Last game: Won 23-20 over the Chiefs
Last week's ranking: 21
Head coach Tom Cable can finally rest easy at night because it is safe to now say the hot seat rumors are no more. He has this team playing to its potential.

17. Seattle Seahawks (4-4)
16 of 32
Last game: Lost 41-7 to the Giants
Last week's ranking: 15
Quarterback Charlie Whitehurst had to face a defense that has taken out nearly as many quarterbacks as there are fingers on a hand. He is lucky to be healthy.
Next game: At Cards
16. Miami Dolphins (4-4)
17 of 32
Last game: Lost 26-10 to the Ravens
Last week's ranking: 16
Is quarterback Chad Henne the future? Many are doubting it now.
Next game: Home vs. Titans

20 of 32
Last game: Lost 27-21 to the Falcons
Last week's ranking: 9
The Bucs may have lost on Sunday, but quarterback Josh Freeman just seems to get more comfortable as this team's leader each week, and that is nothing but a good thing for the future.
Next game: Home vs. Panthers
12. Tennessee Titans (5-3)
21 of 32
Last game: BYE
Last week's ranking: 11
The Randy Moss era is set to begin this weekend. Should be interesting to watch.
Next game: At Dolphins
11. Kansas City Chiefs (5-3)
22 of 32
Last game: Lost 23-20 to the Raiders
Last week's ranking: 8
The Raiders kept both Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles under control on Sunday, but that will not happen every week in Kansas City.

23 of 32
Last game: Won 45-7 over the Cowboys
Last week's ranking: 12

Next game: At Redskins
7. New England Patriots (6-2)
26 of 32
Last game: Lost 34-14 to the Browns
Last week's ranking: 1
Bill Belichick lost to his former student, Eric Mangini, on Sunday. You can bet he will let out his frustration this week against the Steelers. Should be a great game.
Next game: At Steelers
6. New Orleans Saints (6-3)
27 of 32
Last game: Won 34-3 over the Panthers
Last week's ranking: 10
The Saints were back to their dominating ways, even though it was against the struggling Panthers on Sunday. With both running backs Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas possibly ready to play after the bye week, the Saints could become scary in the coming weeks.
Next game: BYE
5. Baltimore Ravens (6-2)
28 of 32
Last game: Won 26-10 over the Dolphins
Last week's ranking: 6
Running back Ray Rice was the Ravens offense, amassing 180 total yards from scrimmage.
Next game: At Falcons
4. Atlanta Falcons (6-2)
29 of 32
Last game: Won 27-21 over the Buccaneers
Last week's ranking: 5
With their win on Sunday, the Falcons improved to 4-0 at home in the dome.
Next game: Home vs. Ravens

30 of 32
Last game: Won 27-21 over the Bengals
Last week's ranking: 3
Second-year wide receiver Mike Wallace is quickly becoming one of the biggest playmakers in the NFL. He currently averages 23 yards per catch this season.
Next game: Home vs. Patriots
2. NY Jets (6-2)
31 of 32
Last game: Won 23-20 over the Lions
Last week's ranking: 4
The Jets barely escaped the upset against the Lions on Sunday. But next Sunday they go into a stadium that few teams want to go into when they face the Cleveland Browns, a team that has been the upset kings their past two games.
Next game: At Browns
1. NY Giants (6-2)
32 of 32
Last game: Won 41-7 over the Seahawks
Last week's ranking: 7
New York-New York in the top two spots on this week's list.
Bottom line is that the Giants have talent all over their roster. Coach Tom Coughlin has this team beating-up opponents by 14 or more points in four of its six wins this season.
Next game: Home vs. Cowboys
