#2/New England Patriots (Last Week #3)
#3/Denver Broncos (Last Week #5)
#4/Atlanta Falcons (Last Week #6)
#5/Philadelphia Eagles (Last Week #4)
#6/Minnesota Vikings (Last Week #1)
#7/Pittsburgh Steelers (Last Week #8)

#9/San Diego Chargers (Last Week #9)
#10/Green Bay Packers (Last Week #7)

Another Vikings loss moves the Dallas Cowboys to #1 in the latest Ultimate Sports Network’s NFL Ranking. Dallas, by defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 29-23 in overtime, hold a slim lead on the New England Patriots. Both only have one loss, but the Cowboys strength of schedule is just a bit more stringent than the Patriots.

Again, the statistical anomaly is the winless Cleveland Browns. Having dropped another game, this one a 31-28 loss to the New York Jets, the Browns hover near the middle of the pack at #17, just one place ahead of the defending NFC Champion Carolina Panthers.

The Ultimate Sports Network attempts to answer the question, “Who is Number One?” by multiplying a team’s winning percentage by their "control points", then by their schedule strength.
