Running the Power Rankings is form of like being a soap-opera scriptwriter: There’s lots of wanting again and looking out forward. Also, there are — spoiler — manufactured storylines every now and then. You know, so as to add just a little punch.
But I legitimately do not assume it is wild to ask if Detroit stays the perfect group within the NFC — or whether or not we’re maybe trending towards Philadelphia regaining the Power Rankings throne for the primary time since final season. It’s not about what the Lions have performed. That’s unquestioned. They’ve been the perfect within the NFL … thus far. But with accidents mounting on protection, it is placing stress on the Lions’ prolific offense to be even higher. And they’ve some robust video games remaining.
I’m not able to make the swap but, regardless of Detroit being lucky to flee with a slim win on Thanksgiving. All in all, the Lions have been too good. But the Eagles are harmful, capable of muddy it up in a gritty win at Baltimore. For now, Philly’s nonetheless the second-highest NFC group, however the Eagles’ remaining schedule gives a better path down the stretch than the Lions’ slate. I’m additionally retaining the Bills at No. 2 general for now, however they simply might be within the high spot after an announcement win over the 49ers.
I definitely do not remorse lifting the Bills and Eagles above the Chiefs previous to this week, with Kansas City barely sneaking previous a last-place group for the second straight week. The previous solely counts for a lot. It’s about which group is on high in the present day. We can all the time rewrite the script, if crucial, like we did final postseason.
