NFL Week 7: Power-10, Powerless-5

Hey! We made it through a week without a Head Coach being fired! Let’s not waste any time in revealing this week’s Power-10, Powerless-5.

POWER-10

1. KC Chiefs
   • An MVP QB who doesn’t have to play like an MVP for his team to win. That is a luxury. The Chiefs have held five of six opponents to 20 points or less.
2. Pittsburgh Steelers
   • The Steelers have the Titans (5-0) and Ravens (5-1) in back-to-back weeks. We’ll learn more, but I like what I see.
3. Baltimore Ravens
   • The Ravens can win in a variety of ways, but the defense looked pretty sloppy in a narrow win over the Eagles on Sunday.
4. Seattle Seahawks
   • Toughest game of the season is coming up on Sunday against the 4-2 Cardinals.
5. Tennessee Titans
   • Blind QB Resume time!
     • QB1: 69.9 completion %, 1368 yards passing,13 TDs, 2 INTs, 113.5 QB rating.
     • QB2: 65.5 completion %, 1374 yards passing, 13 TDs, 2 INTs, 109.7 QB rating.
     • QB1 = Ryan Tannehill. QB2 = Aaron Rodgers.
6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
   • Been saying it all year: That defense is elite!
7. Green Bay Packers
   • The Packers are now 2-8 all-time at Raymond James Stadium.
8. Buffalo Bills
   • Something doesn’t seem quite right with the Bills running game. The Chiefs controlled Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs with a two-high safety look, and they still couldn’t run the ball.
9. Los Angeles Rams
   • The Rams are here for now…but don’t be surprised if the Cardinals replace them.
10. New Orleans Saints
    • Michael Thomas should be back after missing 4 games. Tre’Quan Smith is much better as a number-3 than he is a number-1a or 2.

Knocking on the door: Raiders, Bears, Colts, Browns, Cardinals

POWERLESS 5

1. (28) Minnesota Vikings
   • A year ago, the Vikings were sniffing the power-10.
2. (29) Washington Football Team
   • Pass rush has been non-existent since an 8-sack performance in week-1.
3. (30) Jacksonville Jaguars
   • They have some weapons on offense, but Gardner Minshew is proving he is not the long-term answer at QB.
4. (31) New York Giants
   • 1-5 and still in the hunt in the NFC East. I know they beat Washington, but I’m not convinced they are a better team.
5. (32) New York Jets
   • Clemson and Alabama…then the Jets.
