For the longest time, the New England Patriots have been the consensus No. 1 in our power rankings, and they usurped the Denver Broncos as the clear-cut top team after defeating them earlier this season. The Patriots have several memorable blowout wins over great teams, but they weren’t able to add the Green Bay Packers to that list. Last season’s wild Week 12 caused a huge mix-up at the top, and I decided to rank them in second due to some of their own fantastic blowout performances this season. Was their win over the Patriots enough to propel them to the top spot in this week’s NFL Power Rankings, or will the Pats maintain their hold up top on the strength of some of their other performances this season?
