NFL power rankings: Where 49ers sit after big win vs. Cowboys originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
SANTA CLARA — Nine weeks remain in the 2024 NFL season, but for some teams, their playoff hopes might have ended today.
It was a put-up-or-shut-up type of week for numerous middling squads, and while some answered the call, others wilted under the pressure.
Jayden Daniels played hero and delivered one of the most memorable plays in league history, Jets fans are starting to P-A-N-I-C and while some contenders got healthy, others continued to lose key pieces.
Here is where the 49ers sit heading into “Monday Night Football” after a huge win over the Dallas Cowboys.
32. Carolina Panthers (Last week: 32)
Record: 1-7

28. New York Giants (Last week: 28)
Record: 2-5 (Monday Night Football)
If you believe in a higher power, pray for Daniel Jones before he faces the Steelers’ defense on Monday night. This might get ugly.
27. Jacksonville Jaguars (Last week: 27)
Record: 2-6
More decent play from Trevor Lawrence, but it’s just not enough. Tank Bigsby should be RB1 moving forward but they’re going nowhere.
26. New Orleans Saints (Last week: 23)
Record: 2-6
