We had to play the top 4 teams in Fox's power rankings with 2 more games remaining, does this seem fair to you?? Or is it just our typical luck that whoever we play gets great that year?
NFL Power Rankings Week 11 | |||||
Rk | Team | Last Wk | Rise/Fall | High/Low | Comment |
1 | Chargers | 3 | (+2) | 1/8 | Shocked to see the Chargers at No. 1? Don’t be. By beating Denver on the road Sunday night, the Chargers took the lead in the AFC West and solidified themselves as both the hottest and most dangerous team in the NFL. Coming into the game, pundits gave Marty Schottenheimer as much of a chance to beat the Broncos in Denver as Stan Marsh had in leading the Park County youth hockey team on "South Park" past the Detroit Red Wings. Alas, with consecutive second half comebacks from 17 points or more, the ‘Bolts are simmering entering their Week 12 battle with Oakland . LaDainian Tomlinson’s scored 11 touchdowns over the past three weeks; 19 in his last six. He’s not going to break the NFL single season touchdown record; he’s going to obliterate it.

2 | Colts | 1 | (-1) | 1/2 | Something was off in Sunday’s game with Dallas . Peyton Manning was intercepted twice, Dallas Clark and Aaron Whitehead dropped numerous balls, and Marvin Harrison lost his first fumble since 2004. The bad news for Colts fans—Indy’s bid for an undefeated season comes to an end. The good news for sports fans—we don’t have to deal with any more talk of an undefeated season. Call me crazy—but there’s only so much of that grainy ‘72 Dolphins footage I can take in a 2-year span. Team: Home | Stats | Fantasy |
3 | Bears | 4 | (+1) | 1/5 | The Bears defense dominated a team from New York for the second straight week on Sunday. Brian Urlacher intercepted Chad Pennington in the end zone during the first half, and the Bears shut the Jets down from that point on. And though the score might not show it, the Bears offense was pretty impressive in the win, too. Thomas Jones garbled up 121 yards, and Rex Grossman played smart, heady quarterback—completing several fourth quarter completions to keep the ball out of the Jets’ hands. They say defense and special teams win championships. The Bears have the best of both in the entire league. Team: Home | Stats | Fantasy |
4 | Ravens | 5 | (+1) | 3/9 | I guess it’s time we start paying more attention to the Ravens. Return man B.J. Sams returned six kicks for 212 yards and Jamal Lewis (remember him?!) scored three touchdowns in Sunday’s 24-10 manhandling of Atlanta . Lewis—a notorious fantasy league bust for the past two years—looked like his old self on Sunday. After the game, he told reporters, "A couple of times out there, it kind of felt like old times." Good to have you back, Jamal. Good to have you back. Team: Home | Stats | Fantasy |
