NFL Power Rankings: Who Are This Week's Biggest Fallers?

The Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots and even the Tim Tebow-led Denver Broncos are climbing up power rankings all over the internet and definitely made an ascension in my rankings this week.

Their rise is obvious.

What about the teams that have taken the biggest tumble?

New York Giants 

The Giants moved from the No. 9 to the No. 14 spot this week after their blowout defeat at the hands of the Saints on Monday Night Football. 

I thought New York was going to stay in the game because of their pass rush and would be able to keep up with the Saints offense because of their great receiving corp. 

That wasn't the case.

The Giants inability to run the football ultimately makes them one-dimensional and their offensive line isn't as solid as it once was.

They'll have a chance to move back up my power rankings and possibly into the playoffs with two of their final five games coming against the Dallas Cowboys.

Chicago Bears 

Not surprisingly, the Bears struggled against the Raiders with Caleb Hanie and dropped in the power rankings. 

They moved from No. 7 last week to No. 12 heading into Week 13. 

Hanie will have better days for Chicago, but he must realize that he doesn't need to scramble out of the pocket and make risky throws down the field. 

The Bears are good enough to win if he doesn't have a huge statistical game, he just can't continue to turn the ball over. 

With games against the Chiefs, Broncos and Seahawks ahead, they'll have a good chance to cement themselves in the NFC playoffs.

Detroit Lions 

The Lions only moved from the No. 10 position to the No. 13 spot this week, but it just wasn't the fact that they lost to the Packers, it was how they lost. 

They committed a myriad of stupid penalties, none more boneheaded than the personal foul that Ndamukong Suh was flagged for after he stepped on a Green Bay offensive lineman. 

Now their defensive leader is suspended two games and they don't have the easiest schedule to end the year. 

They face the Saints in New Orleans this week and still have to play the Raiders and Packers on the road.
