In the NFL power rankings for Week 14, the Las Vegas Raiders start rising while the Miami Dolphins tumble after an ugly loss.
32
Houston Texans 1-10-1
Last rank: 32nd
Tough to see Houston winning more than maybe one game the rest of the way.
31
Denver Broncos 3-9
Last rank: 31st
The Broncos couldn’t muster a single touchdown against the Ravens. An utter disgrace.
30
Chicago Bears 3-10
Last rank: 30th
Justin Fields is a ton of fun. The rest of the Bears? Not so much. Ugly football.
29
Los Angeles Rams 3-9
Last rank: 29th
The Rams have put together the worst championship defense in NFL history. It’s impressively horrific.
28
Carolina Panthers 4-8
Last rank: 28th
Carolina cut Baker Mayfield on Monday, which pretty much sums up how its season has gone.
27
Arizona Cardinals 4-8
Last rank: 24th
At least this week we didn’t have another story about how Kyler Murray and Kliff Kingsbury can’t stand each other.
26
New Orleans Saints 4-9
Last rank: 25th
The Saints were supposed to contend for a playoff spot. Not going to happen.
25
Indianapolis Colts 4-8-1
Last rank: 23rd
It’s always good to give up a 50-burger in primetime, especially when 34 of the points come in one quarter.
24
Jacksonville Jaguars 4-8
Last rank: 19th
Jacksonville isn’t good, and now Trevor Lawrence is dealing with an ankle injury. Another tough season for the Jaguars.
23
Atlanta Falcons 5-8
Last rank: 18th
If the Falcons had any shot of claiming the miserable NFC South, they needed to beat Pittsburgh at home. Didn’t happen.
22
Pittsburgh Steelers 5-7
Last rank: 27th
The Steelers are somewhat 5-7 and play the Ravens twice, who are currently without Lamar Jackson under center. Late run?
21
Las Vegas Raiders 5-7
Last rank: 26th
Three straight wins for the Silver and Black, and they get the Rams on Thursday night. The Raiders are making a push.
20
Cleveland Browns 5-7
Last rank: 21st
Cleveland has Deshaun Watson back, and while he was terrible against Houston, the Browns notched three non-offensive scores to win.
19
Green Bay Packers 5-8
Last rank: 22nd
Aaron Rodgers has seen this season turn into a nightmare, but he still owns the Bears.
18
Detroit Lions 5-7
Last rank: 20th
The Lions torched the Jaguars, continuing their run of improved play. Likely too late to make the playoffs, but at least progress.
17
New England Patriots 6-6
Last rank: 17th
The offense simply doesn’t challenge opponents, and the defense isn’t good enough to win on its own.
16
Los Angeles Chargers 6-6
Last rank: 15th
The Chargers constantly find themselves dealing with the exact same problems. The first issue? Coaching.
15
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 6-6
Last rank: 16th
The Buccaneers somehow keep coming alive at the end of games. Tom Brady is still Tom Brady.
14
New York Jets 7-5
Last rank: 13th
The Jets have more punch with Mike White, but will it be enough to get them into the playoffs?
13
Seattle Seahawks 7-5
Last rank: 14th
Seattle has to start playing better, but it did enough to get past the skeleton crew we saw from the Rams on Sunday.
12
Washington Commanders 7-5-1
Last rank: 12th
Washington should be happy with a tie against the Giants. It means the Commanders can clinch a very important tiebreaker by winning at home.
11
Tennessee Titans 8-5
Last rank: 11th
Tennessee was blown out by Philadelphia, largely because Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown were dominant throughout.
10
New York Giants 8-4-1
Last rank: 10th
The Giants need to handle business against the Commanders in two weeks, or they’ll be in very tough position.
9
Baltimore Ravens 8-4
Last rank: 9th
Depending on how long Lamar Jackson is out, the Ravens could suddenly be in freefall.
8
San Francisco 49ers 8-4
Last rank: 6th
The Niners had an impressive win but fell because Jimmy Garoppolo is out for the season. Now everything rests on Brock Purdy.
7
Minnesota Vikings 10-2
Last rank: 7th
Minnesota doesn’t move up for almost blowing another late lead. The Vikings are finding a way, but the games are constantly bizarre.
6
Miami Dolphins 8-4
Last rank: 3rd
Miami has to be concerned that whenever it plays against a good defense, it struggles to score.
5
Cincinnati Bengals 8-4
Last rank: 8th
Huge win for the Bengals, who have full ownership of the Chiefs. Three straight over Patrick Mahomes and Co.
4
Dallas Cowboys 9-3
Last rank: 5th
Dallas hung 54 points on the Colts, and the Cowboys continue to look every bit the Super Bowl contender.
3
Buffalo Bills 9-3
Last rank: 4th
Buffalo now has the AFC’s top seed, but might need to run the table in order to hold on. Can the Bills do it against a tough slate?
2
Kansas City Chiefs 9-3
Last rank: 1st
Kansas City only drops one spot for losing to a quality opponent on the road. The bigger concern has to be Cincinnati climbing directly into the Chiefs’ collective skull.
1
Philadelphia Eagles 11-1
Last rank: 2nd
Best team in football, most ways to win.
