Welcome to the week 11 Official r/NFL Power Rankings! All hail parity. This week showed a lot of teams shoot up and down considerably, with very little stability between the 4th and 19th spots. Does anyone actually understand football anymore? I'm sure we can reconcile this with great civility. 31/32 reporting!
| # | Team | Ξ | Record | Comment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Cardinals | +2 | 9-2 | Colt McCoy, you have done well. Putting a dagger in the Seahawks season and walking them off the podium was a thing of beauty. Matt Prater even tried to keep it close for them with two missed field goals and a missed extra point. The bye week approaches, and with it, four and a half weeks of rest for Kyler Murray and Deandre Hopkins and a 2-1 record in that time. | |
| 2. | Buccaneers | +4 | 7-3 | There are few things more majestic than watching a 310 pound 0-tech drop back into coverage and draw an interception, but the Buccaneers' Steve McLendon did just that against the Giants in a 30-10 blowout win. With 300+ yards passing, 3 takeaways, and 2 sacks, the Buccaneers looked explosive on both sides of the ball and got a much needed spark they had been missing for weeks. Next up, the red-hot Indianapolis Colts, who this power ranker predicts will pull a major upset over the Bucs. | |
| 3. | Packers | -1 | 8-3 | Road Divisional games are always tough. Vikings losses always seem to correlate with how much pain it would bring to their fans rather than how good their opponent is, and this seems like the perfect time to reel those Minnesotans in with a false sense of hope that they could maybe accomplish someting this year, so I'm not totally suprised they won this game. We lost another body with Elgton's torn ACL, but we were the most injured team in 2010 too so at least we have that going for us | |
| 4. | Cowboys | -- | 7-3 | It was just a rough day all around for the offense. A new starter at LG, LT1 and WR1 becoming unavailable after the full week of practice, WR2 going out before halftime, and the wind all contributed to a QB under pressure, WRs who couldn't get open (and couldn't catch when they were), and Chris Jones having his |
With the looming retirement of a few players this offseason, and the fact a lot of this status can change soon, I wanted to go though and find active players that were on each team's Super Bowl winning season.
Key:
(IR) - On Injury Reserve that season
(PS) - Were a practice squad player that season
Italics - Did not play for the team continuously (left and came back)
-
2005 Pittsburgh Steelers - 1 remaining player: Ben Roethlisberger
-
2008 Pittsburgh Steelers - 1 remaining player: Ben Roethlisberger
-
The Steelers' two victories are the longest you can go back and still find an active player still with the Steelers from these teams. Big Ben's time in the NFL appears to be coming to an end, but for now he is the one link left for the two Steeler's wins in the 2000's.
-
2009 New Orleans Saints - 1 remaining player: Malcolm Jenkins
-
Won in his rookie year, Jenkins played with the Saints until 2013, before leaving to the Eagles where he also won a ring. He returned in 2020 and after Bree's retirement, is the only remaining player from this team.
-
2010 Green Bay Packers - 2 remaining players: Aaron Rodgers, Mason Crosby
-
2012 Baltimore Ravens - 6 remaining players: Pernell McPhee, Josh Bynes, Jimmy Smith, Justin Tucker, Sam Koch, Anthony Levine (IR)
-
The Ravens have a shocking six players left from their 2012 season left, a tie with the 2014 Patriots but with an even longer time frame. Two players (Bynes and McPhee) did leave afterwards, but both returned in 2019 (Bynes left AGAIN and was brought back in 2021). Morgan Cox, who left in the offseason before the 2021 season was also on this team.
-
2013 Seattle Seahawks - 3 remaining players: Russel Wilson, Bobby Wagner, Benson Mayowa
-
Mayowa played only one year in Seattle before leaving, playing for a few other teams before returning in 2020.
-
2014 New England Patriots - 6 remaining players: Brandon Bolden, James White, Matthew Slater, Jamie Collins, Dont'a Hightower, Devin McCourty
-
Jamie Collins is unlucky, and missed two of the three Super Bowls the Patriots won last decade. Bolden also missed one, leaving to the Dolphins for one single year before returning in 2019, missing the 2018 season's Super Bowl win.
-
2015 Denver Broncos - 1 remaining player: Brandon McManus
-
This one is just kind of sad... the 2015 Broncos only have one player left from their Super Bowl run. Von Miller was on
A few months ago, a dive into Grant Hill's Wikipedia page got me wondering. How many active teammates did he have? Curiosity piqued, I went from there and scanned over all NBA Hall of Famers and compiled their active teammates. And then did it with baseball. The NFL, with their much larger rosters, was a bit frightening, but here it is at last! First, a few ground rules.
A. Each player must have either played this year, or be on the injured reserve. No free agents, so players like Larry Fitzgerald were disqualified from this exercise.
B. Practice Squad DOES count. Tahir Whitehead played with Calvin and he's on a practice squad this year, I counted him. On the flip side, TO only played on the Seahawks practice squad in 2012, but I still counted the Hawks teammates.
C. Finally- I'm anything but perfect! I skimmed over all these rosters over a few hours, and I'm sure I missed a few here or there. Only caught Broncos Brett Kern, Steelers Brian Hoyer and Falcons Dustin Colquitt at the last moment. If you see where I erred, don't be afraid to correct me- I also used the rosters on Wikipedia, because Football Reference is murderously slow, so that might not capture the full season. Anyway, the players!

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.

Thought it was interesting to look at how all the moves stack up. Thoughts?

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.
I won't be doing that today!
Or would that be too forward thinking?
