We are now officially past the halfway point of the 2008 football season. There have been plenty of surprises thus far in the National Football League. The Titans are still unbeaten at 8-0 while the Lions are still stuck at the dreaded 0-8. The battle for the AFC East and NFC North are just heating up as we now move onto our Week 10 Power Rankings.
32. Lions 0-8
And then there was one. The Lions are the very last NFL team to be without a single win in 2008. They have fought hard as a team, but the remaining schedule for the Lions is not too kind. Seven of the next eight games for the Lions are against teams with records above a .500 winning percentage.
31. Bengals 1-8
After being released by the Bears during the offseason, who would have thought that Cedric Benson would have another starting gig in the NFL? Raise of hands...that is what I thought.
Benson surprised fans and critics alike by rushing for 104 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals first win of the season against the Jaguars. Do not get too excited Bengals fans, after their bye week, the Bengals still must face the Eagles, Steelers, and Ravens over the span of three weeks.
30. Chiefs 1-7
Who said this young Chiefs team had to rollover and play dead this season? The Tyler Thigpen touchdown catch was one of the most exciting plays thus far this season. The Chiefs almost pulled off an upset over the Buccaneers, but a fourth-quarter meltdown added another "L" to the loss column. Now, can the Chiefs set their sights on putting together a possible upset against a dwindling Chargers team in Week 10?
29. Raiders 2-6
In Oakland, the Black Hole was silenced in the Raiders' embarrassing shutout loss against Matt Ryan’s Falcons. After another hideous loss, what must Al Davis be thinking? Oh wait, the Raiders released DeAngelo Hall on Wednesday and now set their sights on releasing another large cash gamble from this offseason, Javon Walker, before the season’s end.
28. 49ers 2-6
Let’s take a bet. How many of you think interim coach Mike Singletary will either: A. Drop his pants during another halftime speech to his team. B. Send more players to the showers after throwing a fit on field and continue making personnel changes. C. Will not be the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers in 2009. D. All the above.
27. Seahawks
