Week 13 Power Rankings: Saints suffer shocking loss as Seahawks, Cowboys arrive in top 10
The Houston Texans now have the league’s longest winning streak. A 13-10 loss to Dallas ended New Orleans’ previous ten game streak, and Houston’s nine game run is now on top. Aside from Houston, some teams are red hot, while others are falling apart as the postseason approaches.
TRENDING UP: The Baltimore Ravens seem to have made the correct decision in putting Lamar Jackson in the starting lineup. After a 4-5 start, Baltimore has won three straight and put themselves firmly in the driver’s seat of the AFC wild card race. The defending Super Bowl champions seem to be getting themselves back on the right track. It might be too little, too late, but the Philadelphia Eagles have been able to make a run in the last couple games. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers also slid up a bit in the rankings this week after a win over Carolina. They’re finally beginning to find some consistency at the quarterback position.
TRENDING DOWN: The New Orleans Saints are still 10-2, so their move down is slight, but the loss still knocks them out of the number one spot even if it isn’t a huge concern. Two straight losses at the wrong time are enough to unanimously knock the Pittsburgh Steelers out of the top ten. At 7-4-1, the Ravens are breathing down Pittsburgh’s neck in the AFC North. The freefall for the Carolina Panthers continued this week with their fourth straight loss. They’re beginning to drop further and further out of the NFC wild card race.
