Power Rankings Through 14 Weeks of NFL Football
The playoff push is on in the NFL, and contenders are starting to separate themselves. Here are Fox News Digital’s power rankings through 14 weeks of NFL football.
1. Detroit Lions (12-1) – The Lions are finding ways to win and remain the toughest offense to face in the NFL.
2. Philadelphia Eagles (11-2) – The Eagles won their ninth consecutive game, tying the longest winning streak in franchise history.
3. Kansas City Chiefs (12-1) – The Chiefs are doing the bare minimum to get by every week, yet that’s enough to put them above just about everyone else.
4. Buffalo Bills (10-3) – The Bills had a bit of a letdown this week, particularly on defense, against the Los Angeles Rams.
5. Minnesota Vikings (10-3) – The Vikings were not going to let the struggling Kirk Cousins have a successful revenge game.
6. Pittsburgh Steelers (10-3) – The Steelers defeated the Cleveland Browns and padded their lead in the AFC North.
7. Green Bay Packers (9-4) – The Packers should feel no shame losing to the Lions, and it’s interesting to see what they do in Seattle.
8. Baltimore Ravens (8-5) – The Ravens were on a bye last week, which gave them a chance to figure out the best approach as they compete for the AFC North division crown.
9. Los Angeles Chargers (8-5) – The Chargers had a competitive loss to the Chiefs, but it took the coach five years to lead Michigan over Ohio State.
10. Washington Commanders (8-5) – The Commanders should be fresh coming off their bye week and are in playoff position.
11. Houston Texans (8-5) – A big win over a divisional rival has given the Texans a two-game lead in the AFC South.
12. Denver Broncos (8-5) – The Broncos have anchored one of the biggest surprises in sports this year.
13. Seattle Seahawks (8-5) – The Seahawks swept their division rival and led by Zack Charbonnet’s 193 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns.
14. Cincinnati Bengals (5-8) – While the Bengals have had a considerable amount of bad breaks this season, they did benefit from a punting debacle Monday night.
15. Atlanta Falcons (6-7) – Coach Raheem Morris has to be thinking about switching from Kirk Cousins to Michael Penix Jr.
16. Indianapolis Colts (6-7) – The Colts have proven themselves to be a fourth-quarter team.
17. Dallas Cowboys (5-8) – The Cowboys looked like they were going to have a chance to win their third straight game.
18. New Orleans Saints (5-8) – Darren Rizzi is 3-1 as the interim coach and still believes his team might be a factor in the final month.
19. Chicago Bears (4-9) – After losing their previous three games by a combined seven points, they fell to an injury-riddled, albeit hungry, San Francisco 49ers team by 25.
20. Cleveland Browns (3-10) – Jameis Winston has proven to be a spark at times this season.
21. Carolina Panthers (3-10) – Bryce Young has still not earned the full endorsement of coach Dave Canales as the QB for next season.
22. New York Jets (3-10) – The Jets were officially eliminated from playoff contention with a loss against the Dolphins.
23. New England Patriots (3-10) – The Patriots have a bright future, but it starts next year.
24. Tennessee Titans (3-10) – The Titans allowed the woeful Jaguars without their starting quarterback to beat them 10-6.
25. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-10) – The Jaguars picked up their first win since October.
26. Las Vegas Raiders (2-11) – The Raiders had a few weeks when they looked competitive but fell a notch back this week against Tampa Bay.
27. New York Giants (2-11) – The Giants have lost eight in a row, and the end of the season can’t come soon enough.
