NFL Power Rankings: Oakland Raiders and More Teams Falling Quickly

Here's a look at three NFL teams that are dropping quickly in the rankings after their poor Week 7 performances.

Oakland Raiders (No. 23)

Just a week ago, the Raiders were looking like legitimate AFC West contenders. Then the injury bug hit.

Jason Campbell suffered a season-ending collarbone injury and Darren McFadden was lost for the Week 7 tilt with Kansas City.

Campbell's backups threw for a combined six interceptions, and while Michael Bush was terrific (17 carries for 99 yards), he wasn't good enough to fix the offensive problems.

Hopefully Carson Palmer and Oakland get the ship righted during their bye week because if they don't they will continue to slip. 

Tennessee Titans (No. 22)

Going into last week's game, the Titans-Texans battle looked to be an early AFC South championship.

Someone probably should have told the Titans that because they forgot to show up. The Texans went into Tennessee and took care of business, 41-7.

The Titans have been up and down this season, but their past two games have been disasters and they are falling quickly.

Superstar running back Chris Johnson was finally benched for his mediocre performance and no one else looked much better. 

A Week 8 meeting with winless Indianapolis may be the way to turn things around, but you you never know with these Titans.

Detroit Lions (No. 9)

The Lions were looking like a legitimate Super Bowl contender a few weeks ago, but they need to start winning at home.

After dropping one against Atlanta, the Lions have now lost two in a row at home and are in danger of dropping outside the Top 10.

I still like the Lions as a contender, but most Super Bowl contenders don't need help at home. They've played well on the road, but need to fix their problems at Ford Field.
