The Cowboys have been No. 2 in the weekly NFL Power Rankings for two weeks in a row. Getting to this position wasn't easy. It was a slow and tedious climb to the top as critics waited to see if the Cowboys would let up. However, game after game and win after win the Cowboys never stepped off the gas pedal. They now have won eight straight, their longest win streak since 1977, and they have the best record in the NFC.
But, it doesn't stop there: the Cowboys have the best record in the entire NFL. With the Patriots' loss to the Seahawks last Sunday night, the Cowboys became the top team in the NFL with their record of 8-1 and the Week 11 NFL Power Rankings reflect just that.
