NFL Power Rankings: 3 Teams Gaining the Most Momentum

Momentum is everything. 

Just ask the Green Bay Packers or the San Francisco 49ers. 

The following clubs have built momentum over the last month and should be able to ride it to the postseason

Chicago Bears 

It seems like only yesterday when the Bears were 2-3 and once again battling major offensive line issues. They've fixed their problems up front and not surprisingly, we've seen a month of quality play out of Jay Cutler. 

Matt Forte has been Matt Forte, and although the defense is allowing more yards than we're accustomed to, they've returned to the turnover-happy group we've seen in year's past. 

Huge home win against the high-flying Lions team coming off the bye. 

Houston Texans 

The Texans are another team that turned it around when many thought their season was doomed. Andre Johnson went down with a serious hamstring injury and star defensive end/outside linebacker Mario Williams was lost for the year after tearing his pectoral muscle. 

Since then, the Texans have been one of the most dominating teams in football. 

Their running game, spearheaded by Arian Foster and supplemented by Ben Tate is the best running attack in the AFC right now, in my estimation.

Unfortunately for Texans fans, head coach Gary Kubiak announced today that Matt Schaub has a serious foot injury and will miss the Texans' next game in Week 12 against the Jaguars.

Denver Broncos 

Believe it or not, the Broncos are a game out in the AFC West. Their 17-10 win over the Chiefs on Sunday delivered one of the craziest stat-lines ever. Tim Tebow was 2/8 passing with a touchdown and the Broncos piled up 244 rushing yards on 55 carries. 

Insanity. 

Tebow isn't Aaron Rodgers, but he's 2-1 as a starter and somehow finds ways to win. 

They've won consecutive divisional games, so they're certainly feeling good in Denver at this moment.
