NFL Power Rankings Week 11: Which Top Dogs Are Reeling in the Rankings?

Teams are falling left and right from the highest rungs of the Week 11 edition of the NFL power rankings.

Week 10 was a tumultuous time for some top teams, and we saw quite a few underdogs upset the favorites and knock ‘em down the rankings this week.

Let’s take a look at some of these teams who are now reeling and need to recover.

Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens actually lost to the Seattle Seahawks, led by Tarvaris “3rd-and-long” Jackson.

Is Baltimore legitimate this year? They may be the most confusing team in the NFL.

They have wins over Pittsburgh, Houston and the Jets and losses to Tennessee, Jacksonville and Seattle, and they almost blew a game against the Arizona Cardinals.

That literally makes no sense.

This team needs to figure out their problems and stop playing down to the ability of their opponent.

They bring the heat in tough games but give up easy ones. Not a good sign for their Super Bowl aspirations.

Detroit Lions

This team might be the biggest pretender in the NFL right now.

They started 5-0 and looked phenomenal, but now they have dropped three of their past four games and actually may miss the playoffs.

We all called Detroit a shoe-in to make the postseason earlier in the year, but now it isn’t looking so certain.

They have three incredibly tough matchups against Green Bay (twice) and the Saints, as well as risky games against Carolina, Oakland and San Diego before the season is done.

New York Giants

Everyone was ready to crown Eli Manning the best quarterback in football after he led the Giants to an upset win over the New England Patriots.

That was stupid, and he was exposed this Sunday.

Anyone can look good against the Patriots secondary (except Mark Sanchez I suppose), and the 49ers proved that Eli is still a second-tier QB.

This team was wildly overrated coming off that New England win and now falls back down to their rightful spot in the power rankings.
