Week 10 NFL power rankings: Cardinals reclaim top spot from Rams, Titans move into top 5 - USA TODAY

NFL power rankings entering Week 10 of 2021 season (previous rank in parentheses):

1. Cardinals (3): Are they unequivocally the league's top team? Hard to say, but it's not like anyone else has an airtight claim. What Arizona does have is the NFL's best record (8-1) and a proclivity for overcoming adversity, whether it's coach Kliff Kingsbury and others benched by COVID-19, or injuries sidelining QB Kyler Murray (ankle), WR DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring), RB Chase Edmonds (ankle), and DE J.J. Watt (shoulder), who might still eventually return. And OLB Chandler Jones, who dealt with the virus himself, also appears back on track, registering his first sack since notching five in Week 1 to become the franchise's all-time leader (67). Yep, let's call the Cards the best. At least for now.

2. Buccaneers (4): What did they do after last season's bye? Simply went 8-0, including their Super Bowl 55 rout of Kansas City. So yeah ... look out, everyone.

3. Packers (2): Takeaways from the last week? AFC games are the least important on their schedule, at least in terms of tiebreakers. QB2 Jordan Love isn't ready to win NFL games. And Aaron Rodgers should say less about COVID-19. Otherwise, steady as she goes.

4. Titans (13): Minus RB Derrick Henry, they go into LA and KO the Rams (last week's No. 1 team in this space), solidifying themselves atop AFC standings. Oh, and any idea who owns easiest remaining schedule (.343 opponents winning percentage) in the league? You guessed it. These guys might just be OK.

5. Rams (1): Highly irregular performance Sunday night with 12 penalties, five sacks allowed and two ugly Matthew Stafford interceptions. Let's not overanalyze it ... unless y'all want to bring back Jared Goff?

6. Cowboys (5): Highly irregular performance Sunday with zero points through three quarters, a -2 turnover ratio, almost no run game to speak of, and QB Dak Prescott completing fewer than half his passes. Let's not overanalyze it ... unless y'all want to bring back Cooper Rush?
