Week 11 NFL Power Rankings: Where 49ers stand after win vs. Jaguars originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The NFL never stops surprising. Just when the playoff picture starts to take shape, a presumed contender flops or a team that’s on death’s doorstep resuscitates its season.
Sunday’s action started with the San Francisco 49ers reasserting themselves as a top-tier title contender with a demolition of the Jacksonville Jaguars in Duval.
The 49ers dominated the Jacksonville Jaguars in a 34-3 win on Sunday, resembling the team that sat at the top of most NFL power rankings over the first five weeks of the season. Following that 5-0 start, however, came a three-game losing streak.
That has now been snapped after Brock Purdy regained his early-season form, the 49ers ran the ball efficiently and the defense forced turnovers.
Here’s where the 49ers stand after Sunday’s Week 10 action:
32. Carolina Panthers (1-8): Can we relegate the Panthers? The number of football atrocities they committed on Thursday night demands an inquisition.
31. New York Giants (2-8): Every snap Tommy Devito takes is a step closer to Caleb Williams or Drake Maye for the Giants. Not a bad consolation prize for a season from hell.
30. New England Patriots (2-8): The Mac Jones redemption era as a 49ers backup will be a good story, but McCorkle’s time in New England is over. The former first-round pick is a broken, defeated signal-caller, and Bill Belichick should wear most of the blame.
29. Atlanta Falcons (4-6): The Falcons were 4-3 and promptly lost to Will Levis, a fresh-off-the-plane Josh Dobbs, and the Cardinals. They are who we thought they were.
28. Arizona Cardinals (2-8): Ryan Poles and the Bears’ brass might have been Kyler Murray’s biggest fan Sunday. The Cardinals star quarterback returned and led Arizona to its second win of the season, leaving Carolina with the worst record in the NFL through 10 weeks. The Bears are in pole position for the No. 1 pick as we enter the home stretch.
