NFL Power Rankings Week 13: Overrated Teams That Have Been Fully Exposed

The past week of NFL action has highlighted flaws in a number of teams across the league.

Teams we thought were great just a few games ago have stumbled, and there are now blueprints in place outlining how to beat some of the best squads.

Let’s take a look at some of these faltering powerhouses that have been exposed.

New York Giants

Remember a few short weeks ago when the Giants beat the New England Patriots and everyone thought they were an elite team and Eli Manning was a top quarterback in this league?

What a joke that was.

Kyle Arrington single-handedly gave that game to New York, and now that the Giants have lost three straight, they are back to being the terrible team that we knew they would be in the preseason.

The Saints literally demolished them and proved they cannot play from behind and have no running game to be threatened by.

San Francisco 49ers

Terrell Suggs, Cory Redding and Haloti Ngata proved that the key to beating the 49ers is pressuring Alex Smith.

The Ravens dialed up the pressure all Thanksgiving night long and came away with nine sacks and an interception in a game they won 13-6.

San Fran had not faced a defense as strong as Baltimore’s is right now and weren’t able to get anything going on the ground or via the air.

This team can be beaten if you force them out of their comfort zone on offense and grind out some points against their defense.

Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers didn’t lose to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football, but they were damn close.

If Dwayne Bowe didn’t have alligator arms on their last attempt from scrimmage and actually caught Tyler Palko’s pass, we could be talking about one of the bigger upsets of the season.

They did a good job limiting the Steelers' third-down conversions (3-11) and kept the game in reach despite the four turnovers and seven minutes less time of possession.

Anyone looking to beat Pittsburgh will be thoroughly studying the KC game tape.
