Here are the Week 10 NFL Power Rankings from the Phinsider. Green Bay still sits atop the pack. San Francisco is in second place, again.
After that, the movement starts.
The biggest gain of the week belonged to Denver, who jumped up 8 spots on the running ability of Tim Tebow. They moved from 26th up to 18th, and coach John Fox is putting his players in the best position to win - even if it's running an option offense.
The biggest drop belonged to Baltimore, falling from third to ninth, a six position drop.
