Pittsburgh's win over the Giants, and Chicago's awesome performance against Tennessee, shook up the top 10 somewhat this week. New-school clubs Atlanta and Houston are on top, but the old-school powers are massing behind them:
1. Atlanta Falcons: 8-0
2. Houston Texans: 7-1
3. Chicago Bears: 7-1
4. San Francisco 49ers: 6-2
5. Green Bay Packers: 6-3
T6. New York Giants: 6-3
T6. New England Patriots: 5-3
8. Denver Broncos: 5-3
9. Baltimore Ravens: 6-2
10. Pittsburgh Steelers: 5-3
The Dolphins fell from 11th to 15th; the Redskins -- who were 13th just a few weeks ago -- tumbled from 18th to 23d. (Even that may be too high; the Skins have losses to the Bengals (ranked 22d), the Panthers (ranked 25th), and the Rams (ranked 26th).
This week, the number 2 Texans go to Chicago to play the number 3 game in what should be the best game of the week. That is the only game featuring two top-10 teams.
The Houston-Chicago game was fantastic.
