Niner Noise dishes out our Week 7 NFL power rankings, which see the Green Bay Packers tumbling after quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a broken collarbone. And how are the San Francisco 49ers still losing games by the slimmest of margins?

Week 6 was rough for a number of teams, which will certainly be reflected in our NFL power rankings heading into Week 7.

Perhaps the biggest storyline from last week’s action was Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who could miss the rest of the season after suffering a broken collarbone during his team’s 23-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

That hurts. Like, seriously.

In Northern California, another injured quarterback, Derek Carr, made his return but couldn’t get his team over the Oakland Raiders’ AFC West division rivals, the Los Angeles Chargers.

Bringing it back home, the San Francisco 49ers dropped their sixth consecutive game of the season. Still winless, the Niners have found a way to stay competitive despite a roster lacking playmakers and talent on both sides of the ball.

Will that be enough to push San Francisco away from the bottom, as they were in our rankings last week?

Let’s take a look in this week’s NFL power rankings, starting off with those disappointing Cleveland Browns, who don’t move out of the cellar.
