Sam Bradford played well before his injury, and Case Keenum has been great with Bradford out. As a result, the Vikings have the best team Total QBR (74) this season. Give credit to the pass protection, too. The Vikings have allowed 12 sacks this year, tied for fewest in the NFL.
win 7 in a row and move down 4 spots.

Wetlander posted this in another thread as well, but the methodology from ESPN below:
"Methodology: These rankings are based on which teams voters think would win head-to-head matchups. Higher-ranked teams would be favored against lower-ranked teams. Coming off a win doesn't guarantee a jump, and a loss doesn't guarantee a fall."
Pretty much a joke of a power ranking, especially since the Vikes just held the team that is ranked #3 (Rams) to 7 freaking points...

Rams, who were #6 and jumped ahead of the Saints, Vikings, and Steelers this week. Nevermind that we completely kicked the shit out of them the week before....
