Week 12 Power Rankings: Chiefs and Dolphins Surge, while Eagles Fall

Previous: . Minnesota Vikings. 24. team. 60. <p>Minnesota didn´t play a terrible game this Sunday, but it still wasn´t good enough to beat an underachieving Bears team. Teddy Bridgewater really has his work cut out for him. His Nr.1 target was Charles Johnson? For everyone who has never heard of C. Johnson, he is a speedy Wr picked in the 7^th round in the 2013 draft out of Grand Valley State. Vikings could have a bright future ahead of them, as they have a talented defense and some talented skill position players on offense, but this year they won´t be very good.</p>. 4-6

Previous: . Atlanta Falcons. 23. team. 44. Atlanta Falcons are in first place? Yes. Atlanta Falcons are 4-6 ? Yes. Both prior statements would have been plausible predictions prior to the season, but I don´t think anyone would have thought, that they would both occur at the same time. The Falcons actually controlled the game vs. Carolina for the first three quarters. As we have seen a few times now, they allowed their opponents to come back into the game. This time they got extremely lucky, because Graham Gano missed  a late field goal from 46 yards. This offense is still quite talented, and the playoffs are a possibility, but the defense is still  bad. I was very impressed with Desmond Trufant vs. Kelvin Benjamin for most of the game on Sunday.. 4-6

4-6. Previous: . Chicago Bears. 22. team. 57. <p>The Bears finally won again,but it still wasn´t in convincing fashion. They completely dominated their game against the Vikings, but through numerous miscues and failures to produce in important situations, the Vikings had a chance to win the game, up until the final minute of play. Jay Cutler must stop turning the football over. This offense has so much talent, but it really hinges on being able to have consistent drives and not giving away turnovers. Sure, the defense isn´t that good and has taken significant hits through injuries, but it isn´t bad. It is most likely to late for the Bears to turn around their season, but if they can keep their talent together, Bears fans can be hopeful for a better team next year.</p>

Previous: . New Orleans Saints. 21. team. 15. <p>What happened on Sunday New Orleans? The Saints were embarrassed in the Superdome, where they are normally close to unbeatable. Not only did they get embarrassed, but by a Bengals team that was play bad football over the last few weeks. Good news for the Saints is that they are tied for first place in the NFC South and they are the most talented team in this division. They do need to figure out what the issue is, especially with their normaly so dominant offense. Brandin Cooks missing the rest of the season won´t help. 10 points at home? That is simply not enough from Drew Brees.</p>. 4-6
