Power 15:

Here's this week's Power 15 in the NFL:

1. New England - The 34-17 win over the Browns was the shakiest of the season for the Pats which is saying something. You bring you "C" game and still win by 17! This just in: the Pats are good!

2. Indy - No Joeseph Addai. No Marvin Harrison. No problem! Maybe the Colts should be 1-A in the standings because they're dominating too!

3. Dallas - The only other unbeaten in the NFL and they shouldn't be. Buffalo let them off the hook Monday night. If Romo turns it over 6 times against New England, I guarantee the Cowboys will not win!

4. Pittsburgh - The Steelers righted the ship with their dominating win over Seattle Sunday. Are they as good as NE and Indy????? I don't think so.

5. Green Bay - Packers lost their first one to division rival Chicago on Sunday. Can the Pack bounce back vs. a good Washington team this weekend?

6. Washington - Why not? A battle between 5 & 6 has the Skins at Lambeau. After the hurting Washington put on Detroit last weekend, I'm starting to believe a little in this team.

7. Jacksonville - The Jags went to KC (a tough place for raod teams) and handled the Chiefs. I guess they didn't need Bryon Leftwich after all.

8. Tennessee - Vince Young played very poorly Sunday. Fortunately for the Titans, they were only playing the Atlanta Falcons and won anyway.

9. NY Giants - I am crowning the Giants as the best of the (3-2) team right now. Eli is playing well. Plaxico is a stud and Jacobs is healthy giving them a pretty good RB tandem with Ward.

10. Tampa Bay - Yes, they lost to the Colts. Now the question becomes, can they sustain the loss of another RB to injury? We'll see.

11. Seattle - Wow! After getting smacked in Pittsburgh, I am having some serious second thoughts about this being an elite team in the NFC.

12. Arizona - This is a BETTER team with Warner at QB.

13. Baltimore - They barely beat the undermanned and injury-riddled 49ers on Sunday. What happened to this team this offseason. Did the loss of Adalius Thomas hurt the Ravens that much?

14. Detroit - We'll give the Lions a mulligan for that performance at Washington Sunday. Especially since they have to chew on that loss for an extra week during their BYE.

15. San Diego - Something tells me that this team will be "Charging" up these standings fast. They're too talented not to.

Missing the cut: Houston, Philly, Chicago

Bottom Feeders: Miami, St. Louis, New Orleans...........A combined 0-14 for these three teams...........OUCH!
