NFL power rankings: Packers tumble in Week 7 after Aaron Rodgers injury
By Peter Panacy
Speaking of those Ravens, what’s going on with Baltimore this year?
Quarterback Joe Flacco has looked awful over six weeks of NFL action and, prior to Week 6, was ranked 31st in the league with a 71.0 passer rating. After his loss to the Bears at home — and a two-interception, 48.8-rating day — the veteran quarterback’s status isn’t going to get any higher.
Baltimore’s defense, especially against the run, has been problematic all season as well. And allowing all those yards to Bears tailback Jordan Howard won’t help matters.
With a pending matchup against the Minnesota Vikings this upcoming week, it makes sense to drop the Ravens pretty far in our NFL power rankings.
