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

7-3. Previous: . Denver Broncos. 4. team. 45. <p>The Broncos were upset by a 3-6 Rams team on Sunday. Peyton Manning only led this offense to seven points. This game finally showed some proof that Peyton Manning doesn´t get better with age, because no player plays better at 38 than when he was 32. Now I´m not saying Peyton Manning is not a great quarterback, because he is one of the best ever, but the reason he is currently playing at a higher level than he ever was, is because he has the best offense weapons ever. Suddenly, when he lost both Julius Thomas and Emanuel Sanders, his performance was one of his worst in a long time. This is not me overreacting because of one game, because I have said this for a long time. Peyton Manning is still a Top 3 quarterback, but he is not better than 5 years ago, as many claim he is. This offensive will still be dominant when Thomas and Sanders comeback, and while this loss does lower their chance of getting home field advantage, they are still just as much of a contender as ever. This is a great team on both offense and defense, and  I  would be surprised if they don´t make the AFC championship.</p>

<p>Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers have been amazing these last two games, but let’s not forget that the game prior to those blowouts, they got blown out by the Saints in the Superdome. Still, this offense is the most explosive in the NFL and really looks unstoppable at home. Aaron Rodgers is currently the best quarterback in the NFL , and he showcased that on Sunday. They manhandled the Eagles, and Aaron Rodgers got to leave work early again. While the defense played very well against Mark Sanchez, they will be facing better quarterbacks and I don´t trust them yet, even though they are coming together nicely. They will be a hot contender for the Lombardi Trophy, but they have to continue to play well to make it there ,and especially starting playing dominant on the road as well.</p> <p>Lacy´s great  effort ( courtesy of highlighthub.com) : <a href=. 7-3. Previous: . Green Bay Packers. 3. team. 49

team. 32. This team deserves respect. They are not very flashy on offense, especially with Drew Stanton at the helm, but they get it done. On Sunday they only scored in the first seven minutes, but it was enough to get a key win over another major contender and continue to prove to everyone else that they are for real. Their secondary shut down Golden Tate and Calvin Johnson in a very impressive performance. Seattle showed last year that defense can win you championships and Arizona is going to try to prove that again this year. Next week´s matchup vs. Seattle should be a good one to watch.. 9-1. Previous: . Arizona Cardinals. 2

8-2. Previous: . New England Patriots. 1. team. 47. The Patriots were brilliant once again on Sunday night. Despite Tom Brady having only a decent game and a terrible first half, the Patriots dominated the Colts from the beginning to the end. The defense really locked down the number one offense in the league, shutting down the wide receivers for most of the game, and only allowing a total of 4 rushing yards to running backs. Jonas Gray had his breakout game, due to his hard running and some amazing blocking schemes by the offensive line. The Patriots are showing, week after week, that they are the best team in the NFL and are ready for another Super Bowl run, so that they  can avenge their last super bowl loss in Glendale, Arizona. <p>Gronk being Gronk ( courtesy of highlighthub.com):</p> <p><a href=
