Weekly rankings: Giants maintain top spot despite loss

This is how the NFL's 32 teams stack up after 14 weeks.

  • New York Giants
    11-2 (Previous: 1)     Maybe the Plaxico Burress distraction was larger than some of us thought it would be.
  • Pittsburgh Steelers
    10-3 (2)    It's defensive history in the making, although it won't matter if they fail to take care of business in Baltimore.
  • Tennessee Titans
    12-1 (3)    Division championship: check. Homefield advantage: up next.
  • Dallas Cowboys
    8-5 (4)    The road to the postseason only gets more treacherous.
  • Indianapolis Colts
    9-4 (7)    They continue to take advantage of a soft schedule, but they still would be a very dangerous wild-card team.
  • New York Jets
    8-5 (6)    A once-promising season is beginning to quickly fizzle.
  • Carolina Panthers
    10-3 (11)    A dominant rushing attack, like the one they displayed on Monday Night Football, is the key to December success.
  • Arizona Cardinals
    8-5 (8)    Congrats on winning one of the NFL's sorriest divisions. Now let's see what you can do in the postseason.
  • Baltimore Ravens
    9-4 (9)    The Ravens' second-ranked defense gets to show off its muscles against the Steelers' top-ranked defense.
  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers
    9-4 (5)    Since when does a Monte Kiffin defense forget how to tackle?
  • Atlanta Falcons
    8-5 (10)    The Falcons couldn't have picked a worse time for their run defense to disappear. They'd better find it, and fast!
  • New England Patriots
    8-5 (12)    That was a huge comeback win at Seattle, but how does this team overcome yet another lost player on defense?
