Week 7 NFL Power Rankings

Peyton Manning

12. Detroit Lions (Last week: 9)

Defense has been Detroit’s anchor this season, and I agree with keeping Calvin Johnson sidelined until he’s 100 percent. However, the offense is lacking without him.

What to know: The Lions are the third team in the last 40 years to miss 10 field goals in a team’s first six games. The last to do so was the 1981 Browns.
