ESPN comments:

It's easy to knock QB Sam Bradford, but he isn't getting much help. The Vikings are averaging an NFL-worst 2.7 yards per rush this season. To put that 2.7 yards per rush into perspective: If it holds, it would be the lowest average since the 1953 Giants averaged 2.6 yards per rush. It also would be the worst mark in franchise history.

The biggest risers of the week are the New York Giants jumping ten spots, from #22 to #12. The biggest falls of the week belong to the Philadelphia Eagles and Carolina Panthers, both plunging eight spots.

The Vikings will face the Redskins this Sunday afternoon in Washington D.C.

Skol!
