How did Top NFL Teams Do Week 8

How did the top teams in the NFL do week 8?

The Pittsburgh Steelers who were previously ranked number one, fell to New Orleans in a show down that left the New Orleans Defense celebrating, and the Pittsburgh Steelers scratching their heads. The Steelers Defense could not stop Drew Brees' 305 yard game. Brees went 20/22 in the second half and carved through the Steelers defense. Look for the Steelers to drop in the nfl power rankings.

The New York Jets, a team ranked second also fell in week 8 to a Green Bay Packers team lead by Aaron Rodgers, who didn't produce but put Packers kicker Mason Crosby in great position to kick three field goals for the only 9 points of the game. This was an embarrassing home shut out for the Jets who had been playing well as of late, look for their rankings to slide.

On to the New England Patriots, who will likely secure their spot on top with a huge win 28-18 over the Minnesota Vikings. There was a huge momentum shift after an already injured (ankle sprain) Brett Favre was knocked out of the game after driving his team to the 3 yard line. Brady showed scrambling ability and long threat capabilities while Vikings back-up Tarvaris Jackson was thrown into the game in a turmoil of a two minute offense that proved too little too late for Minnesota.

The Baltimore Ravens and Atlanta falcons the last 2 teams rounding out the top 5 each had bye weeks.  Team 7 the Tennessee Titans lost to the San Diego Chargers. While teams 6 the Houston Texans and 8 the Indianapolis Colts square off tonight in a Monday Night Football show down. So after tonights game, of the tops 10 teams 4 lost. Tough to call these games lately.
