NFL Power Rankings Week 14: Who Stands Alone On Top Of The Rankings?
NFL power rankings for Week 14 in the 2010 NFL regular season are here.
A Ben Roethlisberger broken nose, a Donald Driver catch-and-run evading six 49ers defenders, a miraculous Sidney Rice touchdown catch and a Chiefs sideline freak out all topped Week 13's headlines.
Without delay, here are the updated power rankings for Week 14.
32. Carolina Panthers (1-11)
1 of 32
Last game: Lost 31-14 to the Seahawks
Last week's ranking: 32
Quarterback Jimmy Clausen has only had over a 75 quarterback rating twice this season. Growing pains as a rookie? Or just not the answer as an NFL starter? You can decide.

31. Cincinnati Bengals (2-10)
2 of 32
Last game: Lost 34-30 to the Saints

Last game: Lost 38-14 to the Vikings
Last week's ranking: 28
This is the first week that WR Steve Johnson didn't make the news due to an end-zone celebration or a tweet, and the Bills were blown out. Perhaps Johnson should continue his antics since the team seems to be more competitive when he does.
Next game: Home vs. Browns
27. Denver Broncos (3-9)
6 of 32
Last game: Lost 10-6 to the Chiefs
Last week's ranking: 27

7 of 32
Last game: Lost 34-16 to the Packers
Last week's ranking: 25

10 of 32
Last game: Lost 31-7 to the Giants
Last week's ranking: 19
Former Clemson standout and Cleveland Browns castoff, James Davis had 81 total yards of offense in the Redskins loss in Week 13. Could he be the next running back to flourish in head coach Mike Shannahan's offense?

11 of 32
Last game: Lost 34-24 to the Eagles
Last week's ranking: 17

Last week's ranking: 21

25 of 32
Last game: Won 31-7 over the Redskins

29 of 32
