Comments: I have to keep the comments brief again this week. 

22 of 32 spots in my rankings changed this week. 

13 teams moved up in my rankings, while 9 teams moved down. Of the 13 teams moving up in my rankings, 10 moved up more than 1 spot. Of the 9 teams going down in my rankings this week, 4 moved down more than 1 spot. 

The Colts made the biggest move up my rankings this week, climbing 6 spots from #25 to #19.

The Cardinals and Chargers were the 2 teams taking the biggest fall in my rankings this week, with both teams dropping 9 spots. The Cards fell 9 spots from #20 to #29, while the Chargers dropped 9 spots from #21 to #30. 

While it wasn’t a calm week in my rankings overall, the top 7 spots in my rankings remained unchanged this week. 

The Giants held the #1 spot in my rankings for the third straight week. 

At the other end of the spectrum the Browns moved out of the bottom spot 1 week after dropping back to #32. Cleveland moved up 1 spot from #32 to #31, while the Chiefs took over the last spot in my power rankings, dropping 1 spot from #31 to #32. The Chiefs are the bottom team in my rankings for the first time on the season.
