2017 NFL Power Rankings Week 10: Los Angeles Rams continue to impress following bye

1. Philadelphia Eagles (1)

Another week, another stellar performance by Carson Wentz to lead the Philadelphia Eagles to a thrilling victory, although the argument can be made this was one of their most impressive on the season. Not only did Wentz add four touchdown passes to his total on the year, but the Eagles were in well control of this game early on against the Broncos before eventually going on to win 51-23.

In fact, this was the most points put together by Philadelphia in a single game this year, and was the perfect way to head into their bye week before a tough division battle against the Dallas Cowboys two weeks from now. Wentz was already a strong favorite when it comes to the MVP race before Sunday’s game against the Broncos, but with the rate he’s playing at, there’s a good chance he could end up running away with the award if the Eagles continue playing at this high level.

Also, even if it was only one game, Philadelphia already seems like they are going to end up with a steal when it comes to the acquisition of Jay Ajayi, who recorded a 46-yard touchdown run in his debut against Denver. Sure, the Miami Dolphins had their reasons for concern over the running back, but why did they only ask for a fourth-rind pick in exchange for the talented running back?
