In the latest batch of NFL Power Rankings here at SB Nation New York we have quite the shake up at the top, with the New York Giants knocking on the door of the top spot. Meanwhile, the New York Jets showed signs of life, but they have a long way to go before they get near the defending champs.
Are the Giants a week away from reigning supreme?
[SB Nation NFL Power Rankings]
1. Atlanta Falcons (LW: 2, 6-0)
- And then there was one. Though nearly losing to a terrible Raiders team is a bit troubling.
Next up: Bye
2. Baltimore Ravens (LW: 6, 5-1)
- Held on against the Cowboys, but a struggling D now has to play without Ray Lewis and Lardarius Webb.
Next up: at No. 4 Texans
3. New York Giants (LW: 8, 4-2)
- Huge statement win in San Francisco, but Ahmad Bradshaw can't keep carrying the rock 30 times a game.
Next up: vs. No. 15 Redskins
4. Houston Texans (LW: 1, 5-1)
- Getting beat up by Aaron Rodgers is one thing, but being shut down by the Packers D? Ouch.
Next up: vs. No. 2 Ravens
5. San Francisco 49ers (LW: 3, 4-2)
- New season, same result. G-Men own the Niners.
Next up: vs. No. 7 Seahawks
6. Denver Broncos (LW: 10, 3-3)
- Peyton Manning reminded us all why the Broncos are legitimate contenders.
Next up: Bye
7. Seattle Seahawks (LW: 13, 4-2)
- Niners might be the cream of the crop in the NFC West, but I'll take the Seahawks at home against anyone.
Next up: at No. 5 San Francisco
8. New England Patriots (LW: 4, 3-3)
- When's the last time a Bill Belichick team blew a 13 point fourth quarter lead?
Next up: vs. No. 13 Jets

- Even on their week off, Jay Cutler's ugly mug gets them knocked down a few pegs.

- Aaron Rodgers got his groove back!
Next up: at No. 18 Rams

Next up: Bye
13. New York Jets (LW: 21, 3-3)

- 21 fourth quarter points to the Browns?! That leads to immediate free fall.
Next up: vs. No. 16 Steelers
