NFL POWER RANKINGS: Where all 32 teams stand going into Week 11

The Saints are running away with the NFL season, having beaten the undefeated Rams and then laying 51 points on the Bengals while going into cruise control in the fourth quarter.

But plenty of other contenders remain. The Rams lost Cooper Kupp for the season, and the Patriots lost an ugly game to the Titans, but nobody is discounting them yet. In the meantime, teams like the Chiefs, Steelers, Chargers, Texans, and Bears keep winning. And as we head into the stretch run, the Packers and Vikings are scrambling to remain in the picture.

Going into a big Week 11, here's where all 32 teams stand.

Last week:25th

Week 10 result:Bye

Week 11 opponent:

One thing to know: The Broncos are in the midst of a 1-6 stretch, which mirrors a midseason 0-8 stretch they went on last year. Can they turn it around after the bye?

Last week:17th

Week 10 result:Lost to the Packers, 31-12

Week 11 opponent:

One thing to know: The Dolphins enter their bye week having lost five of seven games after a 3-0 start to the season. Can the potential return of Ryan Tannehill spark a second-half surge in Miami?

Week 11 opponent:

One thing to know:

One thing to know: Rookie linebacker Leighton Vander Esch was the breakout star for the Cowboys on Sunday, recording 13 solo tackles, one tackle for loss, an interception, and a potentially game-saving tackle late in the fourth quarter. With the team still missing Sean Lee, his presence is a key part of keeping the Cowboys defense functional.

Week 11 opponent:

One thing to know: Through nine games, Matt Ryan has thrown for 3,015 yards, 21 touchdowns, and just three interceptions while completing over 71% of his passes. If the Falcons had a winning record, he’d likely be in the MVP conversation.

Week 11 opponent:

One thing to know:

Last week:14th

Week 10 result:Lost to the Saints, 51-14

Week 11 opponent:

Last week:13th

Week 10 result:Lost to the Cowboys, 27-20

Week 11 opponent:

13. Green Bay Packers

Record:4-4-1

Last week:15th

Week 10 result:Beat the Dolphins, 31-12

Week 11 opponent:

One thing to know: While Aaron Rodgers is used to playing savior for the Packers, it might be running back Aaron Jones who controls Green Bay’s playoff hopes this season. If Jones can keep up the impressive production he’s given the Packers thus far, they have what it takes to make a run.

12. Tennessee Titans

Record:5-4

Last week:19th

Week 10 result:Beat the Patriots, 34-10

Week 11 opponent:

One thing to know: The Titans came up with a big win over the Patriots, and afterward, Dion Lewis had some harsh words for his former team: "When you go cheap, you get your ass kicked."

11. Washington Redskins

Record:6-3

Last week:12th

Week 10 result:Beat the Buccaneers, 16-3

Week 11 opponent:

One thing to know: The Redskins have a comfortable two-game lead on the NFC East as things stand through 10 weeks, but still have four divisional games left to play before the end of the year, including two potentially decisive matchups against the Eagles.

10. Minnesota Vikings

Record:5-3-1

Last week:10th

Week 10 result:Bye

Week 11 opponent:

One thing to know: The Vikings are hoping second-year running back Dalvin Cook will be healthy for their stretch run, as he could add another dimension to an offense that ranks 19th in DVOA.

9. Carolina Panthers

Record:6-3

Last week:6th

Week 10 result:Lost to the Steelers, 52-21

Week 11 opponent:

One thing to know: The Panthers looked like one of the stronger teams in the NFC before the Steelers trounced them last Thursday night on national television. Can Cam Newton and company bounce back this week against the Lions?

8. Houston Texans

Record:6-3

Last week:8th

Week 10 result:Bye

Week 11 opponent:

One thing to know: Only the Washington Redskins currently lead their division and own a lower point differential than the Texans this year. Houston has had a baffling seven games decided by seven points or less.

7. Chicago Bears

Record:6-3

Last week:9th

Week 10 result:Beat the Lions, 34-22

Week 11 opponent:

One thing to know: The Bears' defense was the highlight of the first few games of the season, but the Chicago offense has come along and now looks just as fearsome. With Jordan Howard, Tarik Cohen, Trey Burton, and Allen Robinson, and with Mitch Trubisky playing lights out, few teams have as many weapons.

6. Los Angeles Chargers

Record:7-2

Last week:5th

Week 10 result:Beat the Raiders, 20-6

Week 11 opponent:

One thing to know: The Chargers are riding a six-game win streak, but are nonetheless anxiously eyeing Joey Bosa's return date. The 2016 third overall pick hasn't played a game yet because of a foot injury, and the Chargers' defense has suffered because of it.

5. New England Patriots

Record:7-3

Last week:2nd

Week 10 result:Lost to the Titans, 34-10

Week 11 opponent:

One thing to know: Tom Brady and the Patriots could sleepwalk into the postseason, but losses like the one they suffered Sunday against the Titans make it easy to think that the dynasty in New England is on its last legs.

4. Pittsburgh Steelers

Record:6-2-1

Last week:7th

Week 10 result:Beat the Panthers, 52-21

Week 11 opponent:

One thing to know: Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline came and went, and Le'Veon Bell did not show up to the Steelers this year. It's not a blow to the Steelers, as James Conner and Antonio Brown have each scored 10 touchdowns this season, the first duo to do so in the first nine games since 1962.

3. Los Angeles Rams

Record:9-1

Last week:3rd

Week 10 result:Beat the Seahawks, 36-31

Week 11 opponent:

One thing to know: The Rams and Chiefs' game in Mexico City on Monday night was moved to Los Angeles because of poor field conditions. It’s doubtful the Rams will mind the extra home game.

2. Kansas City Chiefs

Record:9-1

Last week:4th

Week 10 result:Beat the Cardinals, 26-14

Week 11 opponent:

One thing to know: They still rank in the bottom half of the league in DVOA, but over their four-game win streak, the Chiefs have given up 17 points per game. They gave up 28.6 points per game in their first six games, albeit against better competition.

1. New Orleans Saints

Record:8-1

Last week:1st

Week 10 result:Beat the Bengals, 51-14

Week 11 opponent:

One thing to know: Drew Brees is completing over 77% of his passes, Michael Thomas is on pace for almost 1,800 yards receiving, and last year’s most dynamic rushing duo of Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara are back in the backfield together. The Saints have won eighth straight games and show no signs of stopping.

The fantasy football playoffs are fast approaching — some of these guys could help...
