Welcome to the NFL Power Rankings. Week 10 is in the books and it leaves me wondering whether we have ever seen such disparate NFL universes before. There are 10 teams in the NFL with absolutely glowing bright present moments and near futures. There are about the same number of teams that may need the removal crew from Hoarders to sort through their personal wreckage (looking at you, Jets).
Still, the recipe is on display. Dynamic play-callers, an injection of young, cost-controlled players who can alter the tenor of a game physically and an amoebic, healthy defense willing to tackle. An elite quarterback is great but does not seem like an automatic prerequisite now as we look out at this group.
