NFL Power Rankings for each week will be posted between Sunday night and Monday morning.

They are are subject to change pending the results of Monday night’s Pittsburgh Steelers-Denver Broncos game.

 

10. Arizona Cardinals (5-3)

The Arizona Cardinals jump into the top 10 with a 41-21 win over the Chicago Bears.

There seems to be three groups of teams in the first half of the 2009 season: the elite eight, the mediocre sixteen, and eight teams that look.

The Arizona Cardinals fall into the mediocre sixteen, as they just can’t seem to maintain a winning streak.

The Cardinals need some help defensively and could use a spark in their running game.

 

9. Atlanta Falcons (5-3)

The Falcons reenter the top ten as Michael Turner continues to silence doubters after his early season struggles.

Michael Turner rushed for 166 yards against a Redskins team that, despite years of big spending from Daniel Snyder, continues to get worse.

The Falcons are now 4-0 in home games.

Similarly to the Cardinals, if the Falcons can become more competitive on the road, they could find themselves among the premiere teams in the NFL.

With games against the Panthers, Giants, Eagles, and Saints in four of the next five, fans should know more about who the Falcons truly are by the end of November.
