NFL Power Rankings, Week 12: Chiefs and Patriots rising, Packers fall

Rams and Cowboys drop in latest NFL Power Rankings

The Dallas Cowboys defense is legit, but since Dak Prescott has come back from injury, they have struggled offensively.

Part of that is the fact that they have struggled to stay healthy as a unit offensively with wide receiver Amari Cooper missing Sunday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and CeeDee Lamb going down with a concussion early on.

Dallas’ offense cost them an opportunity to go into a tough environment and capitalize on a pretty stellar performance from the defense.

What Dallas team is going to show up down the stretch this season? Are they going to have enough to beat Las Vegas on Thanksgiving?

Talk about a tough time to play three games in 12 days.

The Los Angeles Rams have looked like a completely different team the last two weeks than we had seen for most of the season leading up to that point.

Of course, they literally are different with players like Odell Beckham Jr. and Von Miller joining the fold, but since Miller was acquired in a trade with the Broncos, the Rams are 0-2 and they got themselves a bye week at just the right time.

The bye week for the Rams feels like an NBA coach calling a timeout when the opposing team goes on a big run to close the gap on a big lead if you catch my drift.

Things don’t get any easier for the Rams coming out of the bye with a road trip to Green Bay in Week 12 to face off against a Packers team that is going to be ticked off after a tough, close loss to the Vikings.
