Week 10 NFL Power Rankings: Pittsburgh Steelers feel fake
By Will Lomas
10. Las Vegas Raiders (+2)
The Raiders can be as good or as bad as they want to be, and before you disagree with their top-10 spot on these power rankings, remember that they have beaten the New Orleans Saints and the Kansas City Chiefs this year and two of their three losses are to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Buffalo Bills.
While they don’t blow you away statistically, the Raiders have some players that are nightmares to deal with. Darren Waller, Maxx Crosby, Henry Ruggs, and Josh Jacobs all present problems for teams around the NFL and it is rare to see someone actually built to shut them all down.
9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-6)
It has been two weeks since I last updated the Bucs rankings so this may look like an overreaction, but the Bucs were dangerously close to losing a game against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football and followed that up with an absolute egg against the New Orleans Saints.
Tom Brady looks broken and I’m not going to blame it all on Antonio Brown, but it has been a long time since he went somewhere and left it better off than he found it.
The Bucs were always a team that everyone was worried about later in the season once hits started to pile up on Brady and once teams had adapted to the new-look offense with all these weapons. Well, in the last week and change those worst fears have been realized.
