INSIDE THE PLAYBOOK
POWER RANKINGS
16 .SAN FRANCISCO (5-4) +4
The 51-yard pass on 4th down may have saved their season. Aldon Smith is back this week and their defense will take over again.
15. BUFFALO (5-4) -1
Disappointing loss to the Chiefs and will be hard to make playoffs with losses like that
14. PITTSBURGH (6-4) -8
Who would have seen that coming? Big Ben came crashing back to earth, but this team has many offensive weapons and will bounce back.
13. MIAMI (5-4) -1
Disappointing loss to the Lions, but this team did shut out the Chargers only a week ago. Will have to win most games to make playoffs from here.
12. BALTIMORE (6-4) +4
They took a while to shake Tennessee, but their running game got the job done. Amazingly sit out of playoff contention at the moment.
11. KANSAS CITY (6-3) +2
It seems like a long time ago since their round 1 catastrophe, but this unit is holding solid as of late.
***POWER MOVER OF THE WEEK***
10. CLEVELAND (6-3) +7
Not many would have predicted this team to be atop the talented AFC North after 10 rounds, but there they sit.
9. SEATTLE (6-3) --
The defending champions went back to basics, and gave the ball to Beast mode. Boy did he deliver, 4 tds!
