Losing in blowout fashion to the Houston Texans sent the Colts from No. 10 to No. 30 in this week's NFL.com Power Poll. The 20-spot plummet was the most eye-opening change from our panel of nine experts, but it was far from the only big move:
» Coming off impressive wins over expected Super Bowl contenders, the Baltimore Ravens and Chicago Bears each rose seven spots.
» The Buffalo Bills, fresh off a road blowout victory over the Chiefs, jumped 11 spots. Kansas City, meanwhile, plummeted nine spots.
» A strong peformance from the Redskins, who doubled up the Giants, resulted in a 10-spot leap for Washington and six-spot fall for New York.
