Week 12 Power Rankings

CBS' Kirwan's Power Rankings (19. Lions: Two straight wins. It must be the new president … not! It's too little, too late for the 2015 Lions. Last Week: 24):   http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/25387838/nfl-power-rankings-parity-reigns-but-is-that-really-a-good-thing

Foxsports Power Rankings (23 Lions: The defense has held Aaron Rodgers and Derek Carr to just 29 combined points over the past two games. If Matthew Stafford can continue to show progress under new play-caller Jim Bob Cooter, the Lions could play a spoiler down the stretch.):  http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/power-rankings

PFT's Power Rankings (24. Lions (3-7; No. 26): Maybe more struggling teams will start firing their General Managers during the season.):  http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/11/24/pfts-week-12-power-rankings/

ESPN Power Rankings (24. Lions: Useless stat of the day: The Lions have scored 18 points in each of their past two games, both wins. They had two wins scoring exactly 18 points from 1940 to 2014.):  http://espn.go.com/nfl/powerrankings

USA Today Power Rankings (25. Lions: They're not going anywhere, but they clearly have capability to spoil a lot of other seasons over next four weeks.):  http://www.usatoday.com/sports/nfl/rankings/

SI Power Rankings (26. Lions: Had Detroit held on to a 21-3 lead in San Diego or Calvin Johnson held on to the football at the goal line in Seattle, the Lions would be a wild-card threat. As is, each win merely drifts them into the middle of the NFL draft pack.):   http://www.si.com/nfl/2015/11/25/week-12-power-rankings-seattle-seahawks-rise

MLive Power Rankings (27. Detroit Lions (3-7): With the way the defense has been playing and the quality of competition down the stretch, the Lions have the ability to finish strong. (Last week: 30)):   http://www.mlive.com/lions/index.ssf/2015/11/nfl_power_rankings_week_12_3.html

NFL.com's Power Rankings (27. Lions:  Don't be getting Martha Firestone Ford fired up. Ever since she addressed the media regarding the state of the teams, the Lions have taken down not one but two decent teams in a two-week stretch. While the playoffs are out of reach, why can't hope at least be within grasp of this organization? It starts on defense, an area which was putrid on the pitch in London but has risen to the occasion as of late. We're holding out hope for Matt Stafford to parallel that development.):   http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000587012/article/nfl-power-rankings-week-12-cards-jump-bengals-eagles-sink

Shutdown Corner's Power Rankings (27. Detroit Lions (3-7, LW: 30):  The Lions gave up 42, 34, 28 and 45 points before the bye. In the last two weeks they've given up 16 to Green Bay and 13 to Oakland. That's a heck of a sudden turnaround.):  http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/nfl-power-rankings--the-kansas-city-chiefs-will-make-some-history-034253810.html

CBS' Prisco's Power Rankings (28. Lions: They've won two consecutive games and the defense is much improved. We'll see what happens this week against the Eagles on Thanksgiving Day.):   http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/25387838/nfl-power-rankings-parity-reigns-but-is-that-really-a-good-thing
