DOWN GOES FRAZIER!!! DOWN GOES FRAZIER!!!
That’s right, the bid for an undefeated season has come to an end. The Panthers were dropped by a fairly unlikely opponent, in the Falcons. But that wasn’t the only big shake up at the top of the NFL Rankings this week. In fact, there were a number of top teams that lost. The playoff picture got a major shake up as the team “nobody wanted to face” according to the mainstream media, the Pittsburgh Steelers, were knocked off by the down and out Ravens. And the ever dangerous Seahawks were taken down by the LA-bound(?) Rams.

There were big moves this week as far as risers and tumblers. The biggest jump belongs to the aforementioned Ravens who climbed out of the basement…but also out of contention for the #1 overall pick. They jumped five spots from last week’s rankings. On the other end, the Eagles had to be the biggest loser of the week. Lost the division, lost all face with Chip Kelly’s lame presser, and lost a whopping eight spots in our standings. Funny thing is…the second biggest fall belongs to fellow NFC East disappointment, the New York Giants.
The Chiefs moved up another spot this week, but are looking at a glass ceiling now with the teams ranked ahead of them. There really just isn’t enough the Chiefs can do to jump ahead of teams that are looking at 12 and 13 win seasons. But that doesn’t really matter anyways. What does matter? THE PLAYOFFS BABY!!!!!

| 12. | Texans | — | 12 | W 34-6 vs TEN | W2 | That was the kind of big win this team needed heading towards a home playoff game. | 8-7 |

| 22. | Bears | +1 | 23 | W 26-21 vs TB | W1 | One can only hope to see this offense back and fully healthy in 2016…but that seems a long shot. | 6-9 |

| 24. | Eagles | -8 | 16 | L 24-38 vs WAS | L2 | So Chip Kelly is not the GM…he just has all the authority in making personnel decisions. Riiiiiight. | 6-9 |
| 25. | Jaguars | — | 25 | L 27-38 vs NO | L2 | Another season of wasted promise. Jags Twitter is deafly silent right now. | 5-10 |
