NFL Week 11 Power Rankings: Dallas Cowboys make a statement

The Kansas City Chiefs and the Dallas Cowboys were among the teams on the rise in the latest NFL power rankings to conclude Week 11.

Everything is bigger in Texas.

Including the responses to blown fourth quarter leads. The Dallas Cowboys brought Götterdämmerung with them to U.S. Bank Stadium as they obliterated the Minnesota Vikings 40-3.

The Kansas City Chiefs found a way to get to the top with Patrick Mahomes engineering another fourth quarter comeback against the Los Angeles Chargers.

The NFL teams in the Big Apple sustained losses as the Giants dropped a home contest to the Detroit Lions and the Jets couldn’t cover a punt late in the fourth quarter. That will cost them a spot.

Here are the final NFL power rankings to conclude Week 11.

NFL Week 10 Power Rankings: Vikings new No. 1 — You like that?

Following the slip up from the Philadelphia Eagles, the Minnesota Vikings are the new No. 1 team in the latest NFL power rankings.

With Washington taking down the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football to conclude Week 10, it rearranged the top teams in the latest Touchdown Wire NFL power rankings.

Enter the Minnesota Vikings. Albeit the lone loss in their 8-1 mark is thanks to the Eagles, it is hard to argue against the way Minnesota has found ways to win since Week 2.

The Houston Texans remain a terrible team, but the Las Vegas Raiders are giving them company.

The Dallas Cowboys fell out of the top-10 with their loss to the Green Bay Packers, who made up some ground.

Here is a look at the latest power rankings following the conclusion of Week 10.

Dolphins crack top 10 again in Touchdown Wire power rankings

Everything’s starting to feel better.

The Miami Dolphins were able to squeak out of Week 9 with a 35-32 victory over the Chicago Bears, meaning they’ve earned their second three-game winning streak of the season.

Touchdown Wire’s Mark Lane has been producing weekly NFL power rankings, and after the Dolphins had fallen as low as No. 19 after losing for the third time in as many weeks, Mike McDaniel’s team has found their way back up to eighth.

Here’s what Lane wrote about Miami after their third win in a row:

“The Dolphins offense appears they can score on virtually every possession, and with being seventh in the NFL with 213 points, that may not be too far fetched. So what if rookie coach Mike McDaniel can’t win with backups? He can dominate with Tua Tagovailoa, which makes Miami an interesting challenging to the Buffalo Bills’ supremacy in the AFC East.”

This position feels about right for the Dolphins. However, ahead of them are the Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, Minnesota Vikings, Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans.

The Eagles are undefeated and the Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes, which will always earn them respect, but Miami has beaten three of the remaining teams already this season and their lone loss of the group was to Minnesota without Tua Tagovailoa.

NFL Week 8 Power Rankings: Eagles soaring, Texans tanking

The Philadelphia Eagles stay on top of the latest NFL power rankings for Week 8. Meanwhile the Houston Texans hit rock bottom.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

The San Francisco 49ers are starting to look like a whole new team with Christian McCaffrey in the backfield. The Seattle Seahawks also look like a threat in the NFC West. Also who would have thought the Las Vegas Raiders would have such a putrid record this far into the season?

The Houston Texans continue to be a problematic club with no solution at quarterback. The Philadelphia Eagles are starting to run away with the conference, let alone the NFC East.

Here is a look at the power rankings to finish up Week 8.
