2009 NFL Power Rankings Week 18Chace Chezem, Football Gameplan Contributor
1. Colts (14-2-0): Indianapolis played a poor game against Buffalo, mustering only seven points. Luckily, they maintain their number one slot.
2. Chargers (13-3-0): San Diego managed to grab the victory against Washington in a 23-20 battle.
3. Vikings (12-4-0): The Giants stood no chance as the Vikings routed them 44-7 in last week’s bout.
4. Saints (13-3-0): Three consecutive losses have New Orleans thankful for the time off.
5. Cowboys (11-5-0): Shutting out Philadelphia last week has Dallas motivated going into the playoffs.
6. Packers (11-5-0): Their victory over Arizona was strong but can they do it back-to-back?
7. Eagles (11-5-0): The Eagles crumbled against Dallas putting up a goose egg. This Saturday calls for a rematch.
8. Bengals (10-6-0): The Jets trounced the Bengals last week, shutting them out. They’ll be playing each other again this week in the wildcard weekend.
9. Cardinals (10-6-0): Arizona will need to bounce back and hit Green Bay hard if they hope to not lose their rematch this weekend.
10. Patriots (10-6-0): New England was defeated 34-27 by Houston. Saturday they’ll be butting heads with Baltimore.
11. Ravens (9-7-0): The Ravens fought it out and secured a victory last week. Baltimore travels to New England this week.
12. Jets (9-7-0): Cincinnati had nothing going against New York. Will they pose any threat this Saturday?
13. Steelers (9-7-0): Three consecutive wins to end the season isn’t too bad for the Steelers.
14. Texans (9-7-0): Houston came out victorious in last week’s game with New England.
15. Falcons (9-7-0): Their most recent win over Tampa Bay has Atlanta happy with the end of the regular season.
16. Broncos (8-8-0): Denver has lost eight out of their last 10 games. What happened to the Broncos we knew at the beginning of this season?
17. Giants (8-8-0): The Giants were pummeled by the Vikings 44-7. Things will need to improve for them.
18. Titans (8-8-0): 17-13 victory against Seattle proved difficult.

23. Bears (7-9-0): The Bears grabbed a victory at Detroit last week.
24. Bills (6-10-0): 30-7 was the outcome of their match with the Colts. What a splendid way for Buffalo to end the regular season.
