The biggest moves in the NFL week 15 power rankings happens around the middle of the pack, where the AFC South teams need to decide to who wants to win the vision.
(Won-Loss Record and Last Week’s Ranking in parentheses)
- Carolina Panthers (13-0) (1) – Almost clinched.
- Arizona Cardinals (11-2) (2) – Of the top teams, the only one that’s played a truly tough schedule.
- New England Patriots (11-2) (T-3) – Belichick’s deal with the Devil pays dividends as the rest of the AFC crumbles around him (bwa ha ha ha)
- Seattle Seahawks (8-5) (6) – Got it turned around the exact perfect time.
- Denver Broncos (10-3) (T-3) – I’m not convinced Osweiler is better than a solid game manager.
- Kansas City Chiefs (8-5) (7) – Inside track to the wild card.
- Pittsburgh Steelers (8-5) (8) – They might not get in, but if they do, watch out.
- Green Bay Packers (9-4) (9) – Guess who woke up?
- Cincinnati Bengals (10-3) (5) – Dalton done for the season? What a terrible stroke of bad luck for this team.
- New York Jets (8-5) (11) – The team with the quarterback with the broken thumb who isn’t out for the year.
- Minnesota Vikings (8-5) (10) – Fading fast.
- Oakland Raiders (6-7) (14) – A little lesson for Denver for next year.
- New York Giants (6-7) (15) – Still the best, far and away, of a bad bunch.
- Buffalo Bills (6-7) (12) – They just penaltied their way right out of the playoffs.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-7) (13) – Probably out of the playoff race, but still a wildly successful campaign.
- Philadelphia Eagles (6-7) (20) – Smoke and mirrors.
- Washington RacialSlurs (6-7) – Duct tape and chewing gum.
T-18. Indianapolis Colts (6-7) (16) – If you like football that doesn’t suck, root for this team to lose their way out of the playoffs.
T-18. Houston Texans (6-7) (17) – Must-win game vs. the Colts this week.
- Atlanta Falcons (6-7) (18) – Is there a point where they actually hit bottom?
- New Orleans Saints (5-8) (25) – Congrats Drew Brees.
- Jacksonville Jaguars (5-8) (27) – It’s a longshot, and they need help, but they could still make the playoffs. When’s the last time the Jaguars could say THAT in December?
- St. Louis Rams (5-8) (28) – Ending a long bad streak.
- Miami Dolphins (5-8) (19) – Mailing it in.
- Detroit Lions (4-9) (22) – Phoning it in.
- Dallas Cowboys (4-9) (23) – Rolling over.
- Chicago Bears (5-8) (24) – Playing dead.

- Cleveland Browns (3-10) (32) – Better with Johnny.
- San Francisco 49ers (4-9) (29) – Better with Blaine.
- Tennessee Titans (3-10) (30) – Better luck next time.
- San Diego Chargers (3-10) (31) – Better call Saul (returning to AMC this February!)
