NFL Power Rankings, Week 13: 49ers thrash Packers, Patriots handle Cowboys

1. San Francisco 49ers (2)
In case anyone was still questioning whether the San Francisco 49ers still have what it takes to be considered the team to beat in the NFL after some concerns in recent weeks, it’s safe to say some of the doubters have different opinions after Sunday’s win over the Green Bay Packers.
With Aaron Rodgers and company coming to town, the 49ers knew this game would have the possibility of being another tough battle since the Packers were looking to make a statement as well in regards to potentially earning a top playoff seed.
Unfortunately for Green Bay, San Francisco wasted little time showing why they’re viewed as one of the top teams in the league, and it’s terrifying to think what this team could be capable of come January.
Between their defense keeping Rodgers and the Packers’ offense in check for most of the game along with Jimmy Garoppolo continuing to work his way higher on the list of top quarterbacks in the NFL, these 49ers are scary good.
The Seattle Seahawks may still be in the hunt for the division title, but after seeing how close things were the first time around between these NFC West rivals, San Francisco should still love their chances.
