Another week, and Green Bay still resides atop the Phinsider Power Rankings. Nothing seems to be able to phase this team, and, by now, not even a loss will make them lose this position.
We didn't get a guest power ranker this week, so it's just the four contributors ranking everyone. However, if you would like a chance to rank the 32 teams for next week, all you have to do is leave a comment below. I will then randomly select someone and send an email to them. After that, all you have to do is send me your list of all 32 teams in your power ranking order.
This week, we did not see as dramatic of changes as some of the previous week. Pittsburgh made the biggest jump, going from 10th last week to 5th this week.
Meanwhile, Washington fell from 16th to 22nd, a 6 position drop.
The by division break down is listed at the bottom of the power rankings.

Continue to look great on offense and terrible on defense. Perhaps that catches up to them this week against the Steelers. (TCP) |

The defense appears to be getting warmed up, but offensive line problems could be the downfall of the Steelers this season. Ben Roethlisberger looks miserable right now. (kmb) |

Back-to-back losses, no depth at running back, and now some injuries, too. Lions look like a fringe playoff team right now (kmb) |

After losing 62-7, Jeff Saturday admitted the Colts were outcoached. Then got upset at SB Nation blog Stampede Blue for saying, Saturday admitted the Colts were outcoached. Good thing that's all they have to worry about in Indy. (Mosul) |
