Week 13 Power Rankings

CBS' Kirwan's Power Rankings (15. Lions: Matthew Stafford is taking better care of the ball, and they are running the ball more with Ameer Abdullah. The result is a three-game win streak that has them trying to work out of the NFC North basement.):   http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/writer/pat-kirwan/25396840/nfl-power-rankings-panthers-take-over-top-spot-but-can-they-hold-it

MLive Power Rankings (20. Detroit Lions (4-7): The Lions are suddenly red hot, on both sides of the ball. If they manage to sweep Green Bay, the playoff buzz will reach a fever pitch. (Last week: 27)):  http://www.mlive.com/lions/index.ssf/2015/11/nfl_power_rankings_week_13_3.html

USA Today Power Ranking (20. Lions: They're 3-1 since firing OC Joe Lombardi, largely because they've committed three turnovers. They had 18 during 1-6 start.):   http://www.usatoday.com/sports/nfl/rankings/

NFL.com Power Rankings (20. Lions:  Don't look now, but the Lions are the NFC's third-hottest team ... and that's saying something, considering the Panthers have won 15 straight regular-season games dating back to last year and the Cardinals have become everyone's darling in 2015. The heart of the three-game win streak? Everybody. Matt Stafford looks like a completely different player in Jim Bob Cooter's offense. Megatron looks happy (well, for him). And the lovechild of Anthony Munoz, Larry Allen and Lomas Brown couldn't block Ziggy Ansah right now.):  http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000592115/article/nfl-power-rankings-week-13-carolina-panthers-claim-no-1

Foxsports Power Rankings (20. Lions: With 861 yards passing, seven touchdowns and just one interception over his past three games, QB Matthew Stafford is proving to be more confident with Jim Bob Cooter calling the plays than he ever was under former offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi.):   http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/power-rankings

Shutdown Corner Power Rankings (21. Detroit Lions (4-7, LW: 27):  Didn't seem to matter much at the time, but now that the Lions have turned around their season a bit the blown call at Seattle looks really bad. If the refs got that Calvin Johnson fumble play right, the Lions would likely be 5-6 and a game out of a wild-card spot.):   http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/nfl-power-rankings--carolina-panthers-finally-climb-to-the-top-052012757.html

SI Power Rankings (21. Lions: I've started calling my laptop "Jim Bob Computer." It's not necessarily running any better but I do seem to be getting more done. Oh, and how about Calvin Johnson on Thanksgiving? His career stats in Turkey Day games: 769 yards receiving and 11 touchdowns.):   http://www.si.com/nfl/2015/12/01/nfl-power-rankings-week-13-panthers-patriots
