Denver shoots up our rankings with a big win over Green Bay, part of an AFC West surge that gives Kansas City an outside shot at the playoffs and gives Oakland its highest DVOA rank since Football Outsiders was founded in 2003.
Last week, the Football Outsiders DVOA ratings had a top three of New England, Arizona, and Green Bay, all separated by less than one percentage point. This week, things look a bit different. The Patriots' dominating Thursday night victory over Miami puts a little bit of space between them and the rest of the league. The Cardinals fell slightly in DVOA, but are still No.
