Week 10 in the NFL didn't have the same crazy, unexpected re

Week 10 in the NFL didn't have the same crazy, unexpected results like Week 9, but there was enough to cause plenty of shakeup in the upper half of Sporting News' power rankings. The previous No. 1 team lost while shorthanded, causing a third consecutive week of change at the top.With some more key intraconference and interconference results, the standings were shook up acro s divisions. Some teams flexed more as playoff powers,while others limped further toward a second-half fade.Here's how SN sees how every team now stacks up against each other from 1-32 going into Week 11:MORE: NFL power rankings1. Tenne see Titans 8-2(previous ranking: 3)The Titans deserve to be at the top for knocking off yet another playoff-caliber team in tough fashion. Mike Vrabel should get more attention for coach of the year and Tenne see's Alex Bregman Jersey winning experience from the previoustwo seasonsis starting to pay off big time.2. Green Bay Packers 8-2(4)The Packers got through their Aaron Rodgers-le s stumble in Week 9 and they went back to winning in Week 10, rolling over the Seahawks with great defense and the right pivot to more rushing offense to lift a rusty Rodgers. Now they will hope Aaron Jones won't be lost for a long time.3. Arizona Cardinals 8-2(1) The Cardinals could handle one game without Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins,, but not a second, especially when they didn't win the turnover battle and had more major defensive i sues against the run. Besides, Arizona was overdue for some more regre sion to the mean.4. Dallas Cowboys 7-2(7)The Cowboys' offense took full advantage of their get-well game against the Falcons' defense with Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott and CeeDee Lamb pushing their scoring into overdrive. Brian McCann Jersey The bonus was Trevon Diggs and the defense also getting right in the ultimate Dan Quinn revenge game.5. Buffalo Bills 6-3(8)The Bills quickly forget their Jaguars clunker by making sure there was no road repeat against the Jets. They adjusted their offense well to support their defense with a strong running game and it also got Josh Allen back on track against anotherdefense that was trying to take the big play away from him.6. Los Angeles Rams 7-3(6)The Rams enjoyed the developments of Sunday, led by the Cardinals losing and the Bucs falling again. But they blew a chance to become the new team to beat in the NFC West by failing to takecare of the 49ers on Monday night. 7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 6-3(2) What was that? The Buccaneers didn't really reset well after the bye, losing a second consecutive with Tom Brady struggling early down a few weapons and the defense not being able to stop much of anything when it counted the most in Washington, including wearing down against the run. The Super Bowl champions need to fight through a key midseason cro sroads with the GOAT.8. Baltimore Ravens 6-3(5)What was that? Lamar Jackson and the offense cooled off against an overachieving, blitzing Dolphins defense on the road. The Ravens seem close to putting everything together as contenders, but it's either the pa sing game carrying them or the pa s defense dragging them down.9. Kansas City Chiefs 6-4 (10)The Chiefs went into a home-like game in Las Vegas to get well by bringing out a more balanced and patient offense they needed for Patrick Mahomes. Just as important, their defense stepped up again with a strong complementary Craig Biggio Jersey effort, a good sign for the second half.10. New England Patriots 6-4 (16)The Patriots have their formula down pat with Mac Jones under Bill Belichick. Keep running the ball at a high level, with whoever's available, openup a comfortable pa sing game for Jones and set up the defense to do whatever it wants. They're quickly going from fringe AFC wild-card contenders to strong playoff threat.11. Los Angeles Chargers 5-4(9)The Chargers' electric offense hit another snag with Justin Herbert with his big arm not connecting deep as much. Their major run defense problems have now leaked having some downfield coverage i sues.12. Las Vegas Raiders 5-4(11)The Raiders dropped out of playoff position after losing at home to the Chiefs, staying in third place behind the Chargers, to whom they also lost. Derek Carr is doing his best to overcome the defense, but his margin of error is shrinking again Roy Oswalt Jersey at the wrong time. 13. Pittsburgh Steelers 5-3-1 (12) The Steelers don't get a total free pa s for tying the Lions without Ben Roethlisberger. They should still have done more offensively with the rest of their team against a terrible defense. They need to start making statements as a potential playoff team or they will limp into one-and-done status again.14. New Orleans Saints 5-4(13) The Saints have now lost two consecutive games after their big win over the Buccaneers. They are stuck playing close games because their offense can't light it up and as good as their defense can be, there are enough specificholes to exploit.15. Cincinnati Bengals 5-4(15)The Bengals stayed put during their bye and should have loved the fact the Ravens and Browns lost and the Steelers tied. Joe Burrow gives them a chance to do anything in the second half, but they need to find their earlier-season defensive mojo, stat.16. Cleveland Browns 5-5(14) The Browns' offense can't carry the teamwhen they're not running at a high level, so when their defense wilts and doesn't adjust like it did against the Patriots, they fail to play succe sful complementary football. Kevin Stefanski and his staff must become more creative in the second halfor risk a slide back out of the playoffs.17. Minnesota Vikings 4-5(20)The Vikings are doing better with the one-po se sion games and their offense is at its best when Dalvin Cook's power running and Justin Jefferson's downfield receiving set the tone. They are developing backinto pesky NFC wild-card hopefuls.18. Carolina Panthers 5-5(22)The Panthers got a huge break with no Kyler Murray on the other side and it led to their defense dominating in Arizona, boosting their offense with a few early takeaways. Christian McCaffrey, not Cam Newton, sparked things most, but now the question is whether two succe sful gadget plays from Newton openthe door for him getting a shot to start vs. Ron Rivera and Washington. 19. Indianapolis Colts 5-5(19)The Colts have fought back to .500 on the strength of the Jonathan Taylor-led rushing attack and some timely defense, or the formula that got them into the playoffs with Frenk Reich last season. Carson Wentz must go back to playing at a high level to put them in real contention, however. J.R. Richard Jersey 20. Denver Broncos 5-5(17)The Broncos got ripped at home
