NFL Power Rankings heading into Week 15

<p>Hey, Mike McCarthy took over the play calling. Hey, the Green Bay Packers dialed up a billion runs and got traction on the ground. Hey, the Cheese Heads won in a runaway against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. All is right up in Sconnie.</p> <p>In the words of the great Lee Corso: not so fast, my friend.</p> <p>Yes, the Packers won, 28-7, over the Dallas Cowboys, but this contest was way closer than the final score indicates. In fact, Green Bay didn’t pull away until the fourth quarter – it boasted only a 14-7 lead heading into that final period. This is against a Matt Cassel-led, broken down Dallas club, remember.</p> <p>Trouble signs were with the defense, as Darren McFadden gained over 100 yards on the ground, and Robert Turbin added 51 for himself. With the winter months approaching – and a season finale against the Minnesota Vikings looming – that run defense absolutely needs to be shored up.</p> <p>As for the offensive gains. Yes, seeing Eddie Lacy finally look like the player we’ve come to expect was a welcome sign of turning things around. However, a few more productive games need to be notched before this is truly a balanced offense. Nonetheless, the Pack have won two games in a row for the first time since October.</p>. (9-4).
