NEW YORK (AP) -- The New England Patriots are running away from Green Bay and the rest of the pack in the AP's latest Pro32 NFL power rankings.
After another dominating win, this one over the injury-depleted Dallas Cowboys, the Patriots (4-0) received nine first-place votes and 381 points in balloting by the 12 media members who regularly cover the league. The Packers (5-0) remain second with three-first place votes and 373 points.
Last week, New England had a 7-5 edge in first-place votes. The two voters who changed have their reasons.
''The Patriots are the most complete team in the game right now,'' Newsday's Bob Glauber said in moving New England ahead of Green Bay, ''with Tom Brady performing flawlessly on offense and Bill Belichick pushing all the right buttons on defense.
