Week 7 Power Rankings

Halfway through week 3 the Chiefs and Giants both looked dead and buried. The Chiefs had scored 16 points and the Giants had allowed 97 points in two and a half games. Since then the Chiefs have scored 86 points and the Giants have allowed 52 points in four and a half games and both are firmly in the Wild Card hunt. Garrard's injury could be huge for Jacksonville, in a division with no margin for error. That's the problem with cutting your backup QB a week before the season. The biggest riser is Denver, moving up 6 spots, and the biggest fall belongs to Tampa Bay, dropping 8 spots.
