NFL power rankings: Patriots hold onto No. 1 .... barely

Wow. What a week.

Seven of the bottom 12 teams in the league won and two were on bye weeks. For the last few weeks, we figured the league was as messy as it was going to get. We were dead wrong. As you'll see in the gallery above, there was tons of movement throughout the power rankings.

Two of the three mainstays kept their spots, as the Patriots and Panthers maintained perfect records, while the Bengals squandered their unblemished run with a shoddy Monday night outing.
