Week 9 Rankings
The two unbeatens stay at the top, and the Patriots use their impressive win Monday night to replace the Broncos at third. The Giants, Falcons and Chargers move up in the top 10 and the Ravens break back into it. The Chiefs, Cowboys and Jaguars make big jumps, all while playing quarterbacks who weren't starters when the season began. The Packers rise to the middle of the pack while the Browns and Raiders move up from near the bottom. The Steelers plummet to near laughingstock status, a stunning fall for a defending Super Bowl champion.

Redskins better than the Steelers? Based on what? Wishful thinking? Who would be favored on a neutral field RIGHT NOW?

Agree with you TMU, the Steelers would kill the Skins (wheter it was neutral field, or d. snyder's treeless backyard).
But the boob who creates these rankings does anything to keep his beloved team above where they should be.

I'm a Packer fan but please....

Won't be long before the Browns crack the top 20. Beating the Merriman-less Chargers would certainly do the trick. GO BROWNS!!!

I can't believe your comments about Rothie being "elite" because "his" team wins! The Stillers depended on the run, with passing as a backup. He is on the way out very soon because the team can't count on his passing "talent"! Rottenburger is out!!

Packer, Jets, Titans, Texans, Raiders and Browns ranked ahead of the Redskins. : (
Wouldn't have guess that at the beginning of the year.
