The Carolina Panthers might be the only undefeated team left, but we need to see a bit more from them before they topple the New England Patriots from the top of the power rankings, while the Cleveland Browns remain the doormat of the AFC North and the NFL in general.

No change in the league’s power rankings, with the undefeated New England Patriots taking the number one spot, ahead of the undefeated Carolina Panthers, and also the contending Arizona Cardinals and Cincinnati Bengals. Things are highly contested at the bottom of the power rankings as well, with the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, San Diego Chargers and Tennessee Titans all fighting hard to be worse than everyone else.

The New England Patriots retain the top spot in the power rankings despite their struggles against the New York Giants, while the Carolina Panthers are keeping up with the pace, something which can’t be said for the Cincinnati Bengals, Denver Broncos and Green Bay Packers. At the bottom? The Cleveland Browns, the only team to lose eight games so far this season.

Business as usual at the top of the NFL power rankings following week 9: New England Patriots and 31 more teams behind them, including the still undefeated Cincinnati Bengals and Carolina Panthers in pursuit, while the Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos complete our top 5. At the bottom? Right now last place belongs to the Detroit Lions, but the Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars are giving them a run for their money.

Most of the undefeated teams had the week off, but there’s no change at the top of the power rankings: New England Patriots above the rest, while the Cincinnati Bengals, Green Bay Packers and Carolina Panthers keep up the chase. As for the worst in the league? Losing five games in a row gives it to the Tennessee Titans, but there’s quality competition from the Detroit Lions, Baltimore Ravens and others.
