NFL Power Rankings, Week 7: 49ers, Texans make statements as contenders

1. New England Patriots (1)
Deep down, the New England Patriots knew they had one of the best matchups in Week 6 with the New York Giants coming to town, especially with Daniel Jones under center.
When taking into consideration the previous success Bill Belichick and the Patriots have facing rookie quarterbacks, it seemed like only a matter of time before New England pulled away with an easy win over New York.
Once again, the defense of the Patriots continues to play amazing after the unit managed to record two touchdowns against the Giants, and could be the main difference-maker for New England when it comes to potentially repeating as Super Bowl champions.
Even more impressive for the Patriots in this one, Tom Brady managed to record two rushing touchdowns of his own, showing just how much New England was in control during this win.
With a meeting on the road in Week 7 against the New York Jets, it’s safe to assume that New England will have little trouble improving to 7-0 to continue building their case for being the team to beat in the AFC.

If Brady keeps playing this well on offense, and the defense continues to shine, the Patriots are going to be difficult to stop.
