MANAGE SUBSCRIPTIONS   |   UNSUBSCRIBE   |   VIEW ONLINE   NFL POWER RANKINGS: Where all 32 teams stand going into Week 13 by Scott Davis and Emmett Knowlton on Dec 1, 2015, 1:08 PM Advertisement As the only remaining undefeated team in football, the Carolina Panthers have taken over the top spot in our weekly power rankings.  The 11-0 Panthers are rolling, easily dismantling the Cowboys on Thanksgiving and showing no signs of letting up. Let's take a look at their remaining five games: at New Orleans, vs. Atlanta, at NYG, at Atlanta, and vs. Tampa Bay. The only team above .500 they have left is the Falcons, who have lost four in a row and five out of their last six. We don't want to jinx it, but, the Panthers have a good shot at winning out! Elsewhere around the league, wild card races are heating up. There's a logjam of teams at 6-5 and 5-6 in both the AFC and NFC, and several teams we'd written off months ago (the Texans, Lions, Chiefs, and Bears) all still have serious shots at making the playoffs!  What a funny year of football it's been. Here are your Week 13 Power Rankings. 1. Carolina Panthers Record: 11-0 Week 13 opponent: at New Orleans Saints Week 12 MVP: Luke Keuchly, a serious contender for defensive player of the year, made back-to-back interceptions against the Cowboys, one of which he returned for a touchdown. One thing to know: The Panthers are the lone undefeated team in the NFL, and perhaps the biggest challenge they face the rest of the season is a Falcons team that has lost five of their last six. 2. New England Patriots Record: 10-1 Week 13 opponent: vs. Eagles Week 12 MVP: Tom Brady threw for three touchdowns and 280 yards. He also led the Patriots down the field with little time on the clock to set up an overtime-forcing field goal. Is Touchdown Tom en route to another MVP? One thing to know: Rob Gronkowski appeared to have suffered a season-ending knee injury on Sunday night against the Broncos, but MRI results showed he only sustained a minor strain. He’ll miss a few weeks at most. Dont’a Hightower, however, suffered a sprained MCL and his timetable is less certain. 3. Arizona Cardinals Record: 9-2 Week 13 opponent: at St. Louis Rams Week 12 MVP: Tyrann Mathieu was a menace with 13 tackles, a tackle for a loss, and an interception, while earning a +1.7 grade from Pro Football Focus. One thing to know: Carson Palmer falling after an end zone spike was perhaps the best highlight from the Cardinals Week 12 win.
