SI.com released its weekly NFL Power Rankings and according to Don Banks the Browns are the biggest mover and shaker this week.
Banks had the Browns all the way to No. 17, an eight-spot jump from last week, something that is usually hard to do this late in the season. Banks is impressed with the Browns on and off the field:
Taking in the Browns' 20-point beatdown of New England last Sunday, my two recurring thoughts were: Wow, Cleveland has clearly learned how to play up to the level of its opponent, and secondly, Eric Mangini really looks good with all the weight loss. Have you seen him? He's half the man he used to be. I wonder if that's impressive to his new boss, Mike Holmgren, who's not exactly a svelte guy himself, or is it more annoying in that nobody-wants-to-be-the-fattest-guy-in-the-room sort of way?
Now that he mentions it, Mangini is looking good, and more importantly he is coaching pretty good, too!
Banks does have the
Steelers at No. 1, so we can't give him too much praise!
