Don't look now, but Cowboys crack the top four

This is how the NFL's 32 teams stack up after 13 week.

• New York Giants
  11-1 (Previous: 1) It's unfortunate that most of the discussion concerning this team in the past few days hasn't been where it should be -- on the field.
• Pittsburgh Steelers
  9-3 (4)With a dominant defense, the Steelers have a chance to avoid another late-season flop.
• Tennessee Titans
  11-1 (3)Rebounding quickly after the debacle against the Jets was impressive, even if it did come vs. the Lions. And a visit from the Browns should make it two wins in a row.
• Dallas Cowboys
  8-4 (8)They've found their groove again … but keeping it won't be easy at Heinz Field.
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers
  9-3 (5)If they play the same opportunistic defense vs. the Panthers that they played vs. the Saints, the Bucs are poised for a season sweep.
• New York Jets
  8-4 (2)Clearly, these guys got a little too full of themselves.
• Indianapolis Colts
  8-4 (7)That was too close a call at Cleveland, but once again, the Colts showed the grit to come out on top.
• Arizona Cardinals
  7-5 (6)They still haven't figured out that playing-on-the-East-Coast thing.
• Baltimore Ravens
  8-4 (9)After doing what they were supposed to do vs. the Bengals, the Ravens should face a stronger challenge vs. the Redskins.
• Atlanta Falcons
  8-4 (10)Their offense deservedly gets most of the attention, but their defense can step up when it has to.
• Carolina Panthers
  9-3 (--)Nice win at Lambeau, but a much greater test comes Monday night.
• New England Patriots
  7-5 (12)A two-game West Coast trip could do plenty to allow the Patriots to recover from that Steeler beat-down.
