Only one of the three California NFL teams had a good week this week. According to Joel Thorman, the Oakland Raiders were the only team that moved up in this week's SB Nation NFL Power Rankings. Thorman has the Raiders sitting at the No. 13 spot, which is one spot up from last week. Their win over the Bears kept them in first place in the AFC West.
Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers moved down from their lofty No. 2 spot this week:
4. San Francisco 49ers (9-2, LW: 2): No worries for San Francisco despite last week's loss. They played the Ravens tough in Baltimore and they're still on track to wrap up the NFC West.
The 49ers still have a very comfortable lead in the NFC West with five games to go.
Moving South, the Chargers continued their freefall by dropping two spots:
23. San Diego Chargers (4-7, LW: 21): Sign of a frustrating team: Losing six straight games but only by more than seven points.
San Diego is now three games out in the division they were favored to win for most of the year.
