With teams closely packed together in the 2016 DVOA ratings, it doesn't take a lot of change to produce a new No. 1 team. The Dallas Cowboys move ahead of the New England Patriots and into the top spot, as their win over Tampa Bay had a slightly higher rating than New England's win over Denver. The two teams were separated by less than 0.5% last week and they are separated by less than 0.5% this week, but the Cowboys are in the lead. This is the first time the Dallas Cowboys have ranked No. 1 in DVOA since Week 5 of the 1997 season.
