NFL Week 14 Power Rankings

Another week in the NFL has led to a major shakeup with a new number one in my rankings. This week in the rankings, 25 teams moved from their previous position to their new ones. Let's see why these teams moved so much.

1. Philadelphia Eagles (11-1)

With a 35-10 victory over the Titans, Philadelphia is my new number one. AJ Brown went off for 119 yards and two TDs helping Philly reach this spot. The Eagles have made multiple keep editions to put them as one of the best Super Bowl contenders at this point in the season.

2. Buffalo Bills (9-3)

The Bills went on a two-loss streak against the Vikings and Jets but have since won their last three. The key for the Bills is establishing the run. In the last three wins where they have rushed for over 120 yards, they have taken these games by a combined 25 points.

3. Kansas City Chiefs (9-3)

A tough loss to the Bengals is not the end of the season for the Chiefs. We have seen the Chiefs struggle with the Bengals for a few years now which means it is a minor drop for the Chiefs. I still strongly believe in this team but winning the turnover battle as every loss for them has been a loss in the turnover battle as well.

4. Dallas Cowboys (9-3)

The Cowboys are legit and I think this week proved it. A 35-point win over the Colts is nothing to sneeze at and an enormous morale victory for the Cowboys. I think they have a very good shot at coming out of the NFC.

5. Cincinnati Bengals (8-4)

The statement win over the Chiefs for the Bengals shows the form they have started to play at. After a slow start for the offensive line, they have come together and begun to perform almost better than anyone.

6. Minnesota Vikings (10-2)

This slight bump down is really more of a positive for the Bengals than a negative for the Vikings. I have come to have a lot of faith in the Bengals but I think the Vikings are in the same tier. The passing attack with Justin Jefferson is almost unguardable making the offense lethal.

7. San Francisco 49ers (8-4)

Where does this Niners team go without Jimmy G? I just don't see the potential I saw before. With a capable QB in this high-powered offense, almost anyone can succeed. The difference is I don't see a championship without that top-flight QB.

8. Miami Dolphins (8-4)

I have a ton of belief in the Dolphins but a 33-17 loss to the 49ers slows their Super Bowl aspirations. The Dolphins can't have a situation where they lose by 16 and also outgain their opponent in yards.

9. Tennessee Titans (7-5)

Tough loss to the Eagles but it was really an expected result that made a bump down not happen for the Titans. I believe the Titans are in that second tier of a good but not great team.

10. Baltimore Ravens (7-4)

With all the injuries in this game, it could have been an awful week for the Ravens if they ended up losing to the Broncos. While they did end up winning the game and most of the injuries ended up not being serious, there is a ton of concern for the Ravens with Lamar out for a couple of weeks and potentially out the rest of the season. This is starting to feel just like last year all over again.

11. New York Jets (7-5)

The QB change was much needed. Zach Wilson needed to go and the Jets played off it. The team got behind Mike White and looks rejuvenated. I expect more success from the Jets, especially on defense.

12. New England Patriots (6-6)

The Patriots are flying through this season with 100% defense and 0% offense. Scoring only 46 total points over the past three weeks isn't the key to success. They seem to be the team that won't compete with teams above their rank but will beat up teams below.

13. New York Giants (7-4-1)

We finally got Daniel Jones back to running the ball which is a relief to Giants fans. Saquon and Jones running the ball will open up the passing offense and help Daniel Jones improve even more as a passer this season. I feel like it is only up from here for the Giants.

14. Washington Commanders (7-5-1)

The Commanders were written off by us on the Small Baller Podcast and look how far they have come over the last eight weeks. 6-1-1 is an incredibly impressive record and a complete 180 for the team. A playoff push is within reason for this team.

15. Green Bay Packers (5-8)

After defeating the Bears and Rodgers still the king of the team, I gave the Packers a little bump. Christan Watson seems to really be coming forward as the leading WR while having seven TDs throughout the last four weeks.

16. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-6)

Down 16-3, Tom Brady and the Bucs took back-to-back drives and got two TDs to help the Bucs win, 17-16. We have seen this script so many times and the GOAT will just not give up.

17. Los Angeles Chargers (6-6)

This loss to the Raiders is a really bad one. The Chargers outgained them, had more plays, and won the turnover battle all to fall to a weaker Raiders team. With Keenan Allen and Mike Williams slowly on their way back, I expect better results for Justin Herbert and the Chargers.

18. Arizona Cardinals (4-8)

It has been a rough season for the Cardinals especially after signing Kyler Murry to a 5-year $230.5 million dollar contract. The Cardinals have done a good job of beating bad teams and losing to good teams. While they have had their ups and downs injury-wise, this team has to perform better.

19. Las Vegas Raiders (5-7)

The Raiders are on the rise as they have won their last three games against multiple higher-ranked opponents. Josh Jacobs has been one of the league's best RBs this year and has carried their success over the past month.

20. Seattle Seahawks (7-5)

At 7-5, most rankings would have the Seahawks way higher than 20 however, I don't see it. This team seems like a sloppy mess that really hasn't beaten a top 15 this whole year. After two losses and a close win vs. the awful Rams, I have them at 20.

21. Cleveland Browns (5-7)

Deshaun Watson's first game as a Brown was awful. We did see a very unexpected presence of the Browns' defense having multiple TDs against a poor Texans team. Not a ton of hope for the Browns for the remainder of the season.

22. Detroit Lions (5-7)

The stats speak for themselves about the improving Lions. 4-1 in their past five games including a close three-point loss to the Bills. Jamaal Williams and DeAndre Swift have led this team's rushing attack to a successful last five weeks.

23. Atlanta Falcons (5-8)

Quite the opposite outlook for the Falcons who are 1-4 in their last five games. The coaching staff has finally made a good decision. We have learned the rookie QB, Desmond Ridder is officially going to start. This is many weeks too late but I have a lot of belief in Ridder.

24. Chicago Bears (3-10)

The Chicago Bears are one of the first teams to be fully eliminated from the playoffs. Losing six straight and now playing three of their next four games against teams I have ranked higher than the Bears is gonna be a solid road to a high pick.

25. New Orleans Saints (4-9)

A really rough week to be a Saints fan after a comeback win vs. the Buccaneers. The offense desperately needs a young QB to rejuvenate the offense. I imagine that this will be their plan moving into the draft.

26. Jacksonville Jaguars (4-7)

A very embarrassing loss to the Lions by 26 took the Jags down from last week's upset win over the Ravens. Trevor Lawernce has shown that he can be the leader of the future and provides a lot of hope to the franchise.

27. Indianapolis Colts (4-8-1)

Another team with a bad outlook for the rest of the season. The Colts lost to the Cowboys 54-19 in a rather pathetic effort. The Colts do have a ton of talent and if they can get the QB position under control, I believe they have a bright future.

28. Los Angeles Rams (3-9)

Baker Mayfield might just have his chance this week to "help" the Rams. This has been one of the biggest disappointments of the season and the reigning champs didn't come close to expectations. I am sure Baker Mayfield isn't the future but will Stafford stay?

29. Pittsburgh Steelers (5-7)

Back-to-back wins show some promise for the Steelers and the rest of their season. I have them ranked quite low but they are only one game under .500. The Ravens have lost their last four games against the Steelers, and without Lamar Jackson playing, the Steelers have a solid shot to steal this one.

30. Carolina Panthers (4-8)

Panthers got the week off and didn't get much better. Their four wins are against bottom-half teams and they have traded away many valuable pieces after firing their head coach. Looking to next season is the objective for the Panthers.

31. Denver Broncos (3-9)

The Broncos couldn't beat the struggling Ravens after ten players got hurt in the game and the Broncos had no offensive touchdowns. They are one of the worst teams in the league and continue to show it.

32. Houston Texans (1-10-1)

Not a ton to discuss on the Texans. This was one of their worst performances this year scoring 14 points against one of the worst defenses in the league. As I have been saying, Bryce Young or bust.
