Another week of insane finishes (the Ballard corkscrew, Dez's digits, old man Titus), rankings in flux and Monday Night defense ...
... the latter suffocated the Arizona Cardinals, who are the jumping-off point in the discussion of mediocre teams, and where they fall in this week's Power Rankings. The clubs that fell in the 13 to 26 range last week are all over the place. Amazingly, nearly all those clubs LOST. Thus, the beneficiaries are the Detroit Lions and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who both played a little leapfrog in this space.
A team on the decline is the woeful San Diego Chargers. After a sloppy loss to the Cleveland Browns in which San Diego just couldn't produce any offense, Bolts fans had no problem producing an opinion and striking my Twitter handle with it:
Not sure we've ever had fans lobbying for their team to be last. If Yoda were speaking to A.J. Smith, I think he'd say: "Popular, you aren't."
Without further ado, let the dissension commence!
