NFL Power Rankings: Are the Broncos or Cowboys Kings of the NFL?

Here we go with yet another week’s worth of Power Rankings. The Raiders and Jaguars are still at the bottom, they’ve just flip-flopped. Did the same happen with the Broncos and Cowboys at the top?
Another week in the books and another set of games closer to the playoffs. Although there are a few teams that are essentially eliminated, and another set that would have to seriously tank to miss the playoffs, the overall picture is cloudier than a rainy day in Seattle.
Remember last week when the Cleveland Browns were the darlings of the NFL and Peter King focused on how legit they are in his weekly MMQB column? I won’t lie, I was high on them as well. Well they’ve fell back down to earth a bit.
The Seahawks traveled to St. Louis and lost a heartbreaker because of a horrendous first half and two amazingly well drawn out special teams plays that took some serious balls to execute. The defending champs are now 3-3 and two games behind the Cardinals in the NFC West division.
The Broncos easily defeated the 49ers (thank you) and the Cowboys won for the sixth game in-a-row. Which team will be #1 in our Week 8 version of the NFL Power Rankings?
