The Colts move to No. 2 after another stellar week: Indianapolis is up three spots following a dominant outing against the Raiders, to whom the offensive line allowed just five pressures.
The Eagles fall out of the top three: Ranked as having the top offensive line just two weeks ago, Philadelphia is down to No. 4 due to Landon Dickerson's injury and generally declining play.
