NFL Power Rankings

Welcome to our NFL power rankings page for the 2006 pro football season. Our power rankings use a variety of statistical indicators, including drive charts, play-by-play data, red zone performance and more to come up with our supercharged power rating numbers.

There is no shortage of sites posting NFL Power Rankings, but we like to think that the TwoMinuteWarning NFL power rankings have a little something special added in!


Week Eight NFL power rankings

With a number of games now played the NFL power rankings are starting to settle down. Our "power ranking formula" draws heavily on a team's drive stats, play-by-play rankings and red zone data.
