Indianapolis pulled off a huge come from behind victory against New England in week 10. New England coach Bill Billichek made some suspect calls at the end of the game but Indianapolis pulled it off anyway. This is the second close game the Colts have won after their victory over Houston next week. The Colts have to remain focused to stay undefeated as they go to Baltimore in week 11.

New Orleans kept the number two spot in this weeks NFL Power Rankings by remaining undefeated with a victory over St. Louis in week 10.

#3 Minnesota Vikings- Previous Power Ranking (#3) Record (8-1)

Minnesota remains third in the week 11 NFL Power Rankings by there victory over Detroit. The lethal combination on offense of Adrian Peterson and Brett Favre has been to much to take for most opponents.

#4 Cincinnati Bengals- Previous Power Ranking (#7) Record (7-2)

Cincinnati showed that they are for real by again beating Pittsburgh and took the biggest leap in this weeks NFL Power Rankings. This time they took the Steelers down at Pittsburgh.

#5 Pittsburgh Steelers- Previous Power Ranking (#4) Record (6-3)

Pittsburgh slipped in the Week 11 Power Rankings after taking their second loss of the season to Cincinnati. The Bengals seem to have their number this season. Pittsburgh could not seem to get their offense going in this game and needs to get back on track in week 11 to hold any chance at all at pulling off the AFC North Division.

#6 New England Patriots- Previous Power Ranking (#6) Record (6-3)

New England blew a big chance in week 11 thanks in party to questionable coaching move. New England proved that they will be tough to beat in AFC but will now have a hard time getting any homefield in the playoffs. New England needs to refocus to take on a division opponent in the New York Jets in week 11.
