NFL Power Rankings: Gauging Which Teams Are Moving Most

The Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers aren't the only hot teams in the NFL at his juncture. A few clubs have shot up in many power rankings, while others have thoroughly disappointed the last few weeks. 

Let's take a look.

Moving Up

Chicago Bears 

They aren't the flashiest team in football, but over the last month, the Bears have totally transformed their image. Remember when they were a 2-3 team that couldn't protect Jay Cutler with a declining defense?

Now they're getting it done in a variety of ways. Usually it's Matt Forte running wild. But recently, Cutler has been more poised and the defense is creating turnovers. 

One of the hottest team's in football that definitely has the star power to make another run at the NFC Championship. 

Houston Texans 

While you'll hear all about the 49ers and Patriots on TV this week, the Texans are another first place club that's on fire right now. 

When Andre Johnson and Mario Williams went down a month ago, it looked like the Texans were doomed once again, even with Peyton Manning out of the AFC South picture. 

Now, they've rattled off four straight wins, and they've all come in impressive fashion. 

They're zone blocking scheme has made them on the of the best running teams in the AFC. Arian Foster is back. 

Moving Down

Buffalo Bills 

Buffalo used to be home to the darlings of the NFL. After two blowout defeats, they look like the "same old Bills" to the rest of the league.

Ryan Fitzpatrick has come back to earth, and the defense was humiliated by the Cowboys after they were exposed by the Jets in Week 9. 

Injuries have piled up.

Unrest in Western New York. 

San Diego Chargers 

Wow. The Chargers were 4-1 and ready to cruise to one of the top spots in the AFC playoffs. Now, they're in 10th place in the conference. 

Philip Rivers needs to turn things around immediately or Norv Turner will be out in San Diego. 

The AFC West is impossible to figure out right now, but with the Raiders and Broncos' running attacks, the Chargers could be in for more surprises down the stretch. 

The most disappointing team in football.
