Week 10 NFL Power Rankings 2009

Let's get going with the NFL Power Rankings for Week 9. After an intriguing Week 8, the 2009 NFL season is at its mid-point.

Here are some NFL Power Rankings for Week 9 (Last week's ranking is in brackets) :

1 (1) New Orleans Saints (8-0) They were a bit wobbly during their win over Carolina, but they're still winning big. All but one of the Saints have been by 10 points or more. Three wins have been by 20 points or more.

2 (2) Indianapolis Colts (8-0) The Colts continue to roll, but their secondary is looking shaky.

3 (3) Minnesota Vikings (7-1) Hey, I don't know if you heard, but Sunday's Vikings-Packers game was kind of a big deal.

4 (5) New England Patriots (6-2) The Pats look good, but how long can it last with games against the Colts, Jets, and Saints.

5 (6) Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2) Jon Gruden used some weird metaphor that compared the Steelers to Mariano Rivera. Who knows what he was talking about? I think he was trying to say that the Steelers are good.

6 (7) Dallas Cowboys (6-2) Who would have guessed after their disastrous home opener against the Giants that the Cowboys are on top of their division? Considering they have upcoming games against the Raiders, Redskins, and Packer, they will likely stay on top of the NFC East for a while.

7 (4) Denver Broncos (6-2) The Broncos are starting to struggle a bit. Next week's game against the Redskins should help.

8 (10)  Cincinnati Bengals (6-2) The Bengals will do whatever it takes to win, including bribing a ref with a $1 bill.

9 (9) Philadelphia Eagles (5-3) Not a good week to be a Philly fan. Their baseball team loses in the World Series and their football team loses at home to their hated division rival.

10 (14) Atlanta Falcons (5-3) Sure, he shouldn't have done it, but don't you think that Falcons players enjoyed watching head coach Mike Smith mix it up with DeAngelo Hall.

11 (8) New York Giants (5-4) The Giants are the bizarro Cowboys. The Boys have won in a row, the Giants have lost four. Things may not turn around any time soon.

12 (15) Arizona Cardinals (5-3) The Cards are 1-3 at home this season. Maybe they should just offer to play all of their games on the road?

13 (17) San Diego Chargers (5-3) Sure, the Bolts have won three in a row, but they still need to work on their running game

14 (11)  Houston Texans (5-4) The Texans looked they were back on track and then gave up 103 yards of penalties and three turnovers to the Colts. Fortunately, they have a bye week to regroup.

15 (12) Baltimore Ravens (4-4) Is it way too soon to start speculating about John Harbaugh's job security?

16 (13) New York Jets (4-4) Enjoyed a bye week.

17 (16) Green Bay Packers (4-4) What's worse than losing to Brett Favre at home? Losing to the sad sack Tampa Bay Bucs.

18 (22) Jacksonville Jaguars (4-4) Mike Sims-Walker and Maurice Jones-Drew. Gotta love all those hyphens.

19 (18) Chicago Bears (4-4) Well, at least Tommie Harris will be well rested for their next game.

20 (19) Miami Dolphins (3-5) The Dolphins have had a rough road, but are heading into a stretch of winnable games.

21 (20) San Francisco 49ers (3-5) Alex Smith threw three interceptions. Is it time to go back to Shaun Hill?

22 (21) Buffalo Bills (3-5) Trent Edwards should be ready to go next week. Does anyone care?

23 (23) Carolina Panthers (3-5) At least they put up a fight against the Saints.

24 (24) Seattle Seahawks (3-5) Another year of just waiting for the season to be over.

25 (28) Tennessee Titans (2-6) Vince Young looks like he has a starting job for now.

26 (26) Oakland Raiders (2-6) A bye week meant that the Raiders went a whole week without Tom Cable punching someone.

27  (27) Washington Redskins (2-6) Meet Jim Zorn, Zombie Coach.

28 (29) Detroit Lions (1-7) This guy has a theory that Matthew Stafford's career is looking a lot like Peyton Manning's.

29 (25)  Kansas City Chiefs (1-7) The highlight of the season for Chiefs fans? Knowing that Larry Johnson will not be the team's all-time leading rusher.

30 (30) St. Louis Rams (1-7) Did anyone other than gambling addicts notice that the Rams had a bye week?

31 (31) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-7) The Buccaneers are 1-0 while wearing their old school creamsicle orange jerseys. Viva Bucco Bruce!

32 (32) Cleveland Browns (1-7) Bring back Bernie Kosar. If not as a GM, then as a quarterback.
