The Power Rankings are on a week by week basis. They are asked to say which team is better at that specific point in the season. Dallas has looked sketch the past 3 weeks now. We barely escaped Buffalo, plus we had something like 6 turnovers in that game. That was followed by a pretty bad loss to New England. We were in the lead at one point, but our D definitely could not stop them and most analysts rated us based on a revamped D. Finally, we played only ok against Minnesota. Winning by two scores against such a poorly coached team isn't much to brag out.
Meanwhile, the Giants have been on a little roll and seem to be taking care of business. Their D is playing really well and if we don't escape Buffalo, we would have the same record as them. I don't think it's shocking to be ranked below them right now. If we beat them at Giants Stadium, the rankings will be back in our favor. We just gotta take care of business by winning.
We can't have sketchy performances and then expect the world to praise us. We need more games like the one versus Miami and less like the ones that we've been playing the last 3 weeks in order to gain respect.
