NFL
Power Rankings for Week 15 of the 2009 season. Each week our team of football
experts will pass judgment on each NFL team and rank them accordingly.
Once again there are no changes at the top of our power rankings this week. The Saints
once again squeaked by the Atlanta Falcons. The Colts jumped out to a big lead
against the Broncos and held on. There are some key matchups in week 15 that will affect the playoff
race. The Bengals visit the Chargers in a game that will determine who gets a
first round playoff bye. The Cowboys look to win a game in December for once as
they visit the undefeated Saints.
Teams on the RISE: Packers, Browns
Teams on the FALL: Steelers, Falcons
We have added a new column to our power rankings table. It is called "Record
Should Be" and it represents what the team's record should probably be had it
not been for some fluke play or a really bad officiating call (i.e. Ed Hochuli
in last year's Chargers / Broncos game). |

* Patriots score twice in final two minutes to pull one out. They
recovered a fumble on the kickoff return.
* Broncos score a 87 yard touchdown on a deflected pass with just 11 seconds
left in the game.
* Dolphins control time of possession for 45 minutes and still lose to the Colts
* Brett Favre throws a 32 yard strike with 2 seconds left to beat the 49ers.
* The Vikings hold on after the Ravens miss a last second FG from 44 yards.
* You shouldn't lose when you rush for over 300 yards and dominate the line
of scrimmage like the Jets did.
* Patriots blow 17 point lead in 4th quarter and go for it on 4th and 2 at
their own 28 yard line.
* Saints had no business winning that game against the Redskins
