Week 9 Power Rankings: Colts on top for one last week until their undefeated season takes a hit on Sunday.

Top 10
  1. Indianapolis Colts (8-0), this Sunday they face their biggest test of the season. Anthony Thomas and the Buffalo Bills. (last week: 1)
  2. New England Patriots (6-2), Brady played bad and made a lot of mistakes and they still only lost by 7 to the Colts. Brady won't play like that next time. (last week: 3)
  3. San Diego Chargers (6-2), LT 172 3 tds and its not even anything special for him. (last week: 6)
  4. Denver Broncos (6-2), Champ Bailey 2 pics, this guy can take any wide reciever in this league out of the game. Plummer starting to play better too and Javon Walker for a 2nd rounder was a steal. (last week: 5)
  5. New York Giants (6-2), Struggled vs. Houston, but a win is a win. They should handle the overrated Bears. (last week: 4)
  6. Baltimore Ravens (6-2), Ravens scoring points now that Billick is calling the plays. Defense is really strong as always. They have a stranglehold on the division. (last week: 8)
  7. New Orleans Saints (6-2), I don't know how good this team really is, but the weaknesses of the NFC are beginning to show. Drew Brees is lighting up defenses and this team could battle with the Giants and Bears for a first round bye. (last week: UNR)
  8. Chicago Bears (7-1), listen to their opponents so far: packers, lions, vikings, seahawks, bills, cardinals, 49ers, dolphins. They lost to the Dolphins and should have lost to the Cardinals. That is terrible and this team is officially the most overrated team in the NFL. (last week: 2)
  9. Kansas City Chiefs (5-3), If you are called by your initials or have a nickname you are a great running back, LT, LJ, OJ for example. LJ putting up LT like numbers of late. Too bad the Chiefs will lose out to the surging Bills for a wild card. (last week: UNR)
  10. Jacksonville Jaguars (5-3), I couldn't think of a team that belonged here so I went with the Jags cause they have a winning record. The NFL is weak this year, very weak. (last week: UNR)

Bottom 5

28. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-6), maybe the national media and vegas have realized how bad this team is. How were they favored over the Broncos, this isn't 2005. (last week: UNR)

29. Houston Texans (2-6), Mario Williams was "balling" Sunday but too bad his team just isn't (and neither is Mario Williams really at all). (last week: UNR)

30. Tennessee Titans (2-6), When your opposing QB has 3 or more tds and you have 3 or more picks chances are you are going to lose the ball game. (last week: UNR)

31. Oakland Raiders (2-6), no comment, kneeing a dude in the balls if you are a dude is just not cool dude. (last week: UNR)

32. Arizona Cardinals (1-7), no comment again, these 2 teams r just that pathetic. (last week: 31)

What was going on? Brett Favre at that point needed 14 touchdown passes to take the NFL career record away from Dan Marino. Rather than make the high-percentage call to tie the game, the Packers' coaches seemingly made a call calculated to help Favre get the record. Shouldn't team needs come first? The complication is that in this disappointing Green Bay season, the Packers' faithful likely would rather see Favre get the career touchdown-pass record than win any particular contest

Stat of the Week No. 6: J.P. Losman was sacked once every four times he dropped back, and Buffalo won.

Stat of the Week No. 7: Buffalo and San Francisco combined for 317 offensive yards, and both won.

Sour Play of the Week No. 3: Game tied at 10 in the fourth, Buffalo faced a second-and-20 on the Green Bay 43. Lee Evans went deep against Packers corner Al Harris -- who made no attempt at all to cover his man, but rather stood there committing the high school mistake of "looking into the backfield" to guess the play. Evans caught the touchdown pass that proved to be the game's winning points. This play was double sour because not only was Harris taking the lazy man's way out by looking into the backfield, Buffalo quarterback J. P. Losman was staring at Evans the entire time.
