ESPN.com has once again released their weekly power rankings, and the New England Patriots are number 1 yet again this week. The Patriots remain in the top slot thanks to yet another big time beating they laid on a formidable opponent. This time it was the San Diego Chargers who felt the wrath of the Pats. The Patriots basically destroyed the Chargers in a statement game that let everyone know these guys are 100% for real. The Chargers were one of the sexy picks to represent the AFC In the Super Bowl this year, and the Patriots made them look like easy pickings.
The Patriots are the scariest team in the NFL right now. All of their offseason moves seem to be working out very nicely (with the exception of Stallworth, but give him time). Moss is catching deep touchdown passes. Welker is constantly open in the flat and has explosive speed. And Adelius Thomas is being put to great use as the all-purpose linebacker, recording sacks and interceptions in an almost Urlacher-ian performance against the explosive SuperChargers. Even with all the scandal, the Pats are the very best team in football right now, no doubt about it.
