NFL Power Rankings, Week 9: 49ers embarrass Panthers, Eagles shock Bills

4. Green Bay Packers (4)

Remember all of that talk at the beginning of the year surrounding the Green Bay Packers over how Aaron Rodgers and Matt LaFleur would never be able to work together?

After another impressive win over the Kansas City Chiefs on the road, the Packers continue to find new ways to prove their doubters wrong, and are making a strong case to be viewed as a top Super Bowl contender in the NFC.

Obviously, the outcome of Sunday night’s game could have been much different if Patrick Mahomes were healthy enough to play, but all Green Bay cares about is how they only have one loss to their name heading into November.

As long as the Packers continue to play on this high of a level, this is going to be a difficult team to beat in the NFC.

And while Rodgers rightfully received plenty of high praise for the impressive win in Kansas City, it only seems fair to reward Aaron Jones with the necessary credit as well.

If it weren’t for the pass-catching skills of Jones recording seven receptions for 159 yards with two scores, there’s no way that Green Bay is still winning this contest over the Chiefs, and there’s no point in even trying to debate it.
