We can't stop Buffalo! The Bills crushed the 49ers and have a seventh consecutive victory. They also took advantage of Miami's defeat in Green Bay to become the first team to win their division this season. A little earlier in the week, the Chiefs had also validated their ticket to the playoffs.
In the NFC, the magical trio from the north once again won. Only the Eagles seem to be able to prevent a team in this division from going to the Super Bowl. The Seahawks escape in the NFC West while the 49ers appear to have said goodbye to their playoff hopes.
As a reminder, this hierarchy is not only based on the number of successes, but also on current form. If two teams are close and haven't played each other recently, one wonders which one would win if the match were played today. Beating the strongest is not going to propel you to the top in the blink of an eye. Losing to one of the dunces won't plunge you into the abyss either. One can win and tumble, bow and climb. This is the merciless law of Power Ranking…
1. Detroit Lions (11-1)
Not to kill the match, the Lions played to scare themselves. Detroit will not be saved every week by catastrophic clock management on the part of its opponent.
Week 13: Packers reception
2. Buffalo Bills (10-2)
The division is done! Now the Bills must hope that the Chiefs' success ends and goes for first place in the AFC.

It was not until the Vikings were trailing by 13 points that the attack woke up. Minnesota has almost assured its place in the playoffs and is not letting go of the Lions.

6. Green Bay Packers (9-3) +1
The Packers won without trembling against the Dolphins and prepared perfectly for their trip to Detroit on Thursday.
Week 13: trip to the Lions
7. Pittsburgh Steelers (9-3) +1
Mike Tomlin is in his eighteenth year as Steelers coach and he has never had a season with a negative record. With this victory in Cincinnati, it is now assured that it will not be this year either.
Week 13: Browns reception
8. Baltimore Ravens (8-5) -3
Justin Tucker has become a problem for this team. The veteran kicker cost his team another 7 points. In January, the absence of a reliable kicker could be very detrimental for the Ravens.
Week 13: bye week
9. Los Angeles Chargers (8-4) +1
With such a defense, the Chargers did not need an offensive touchdown to win in Atlanta.
Week 13: trip to the Chiefs
10. Seattle Seahawks (7-5) -1
Seattle narrowly escaped in New York but took advantage of the Cardinals' defeat to take off in the NFC West.
Week 13: trip to the Cardinals

It was jogo Bonitto Monday night in Denver. The Broncos have a third consecutive victory before an end to the season which could be more complicated.
Week 13: bye week

Azeez turned out Trevor Lawrence's light and Houston still found a way to scare itself at the end of the match.
Week 13: bye week
14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-6) +1

Week 13: Raiders reception

Unable to score in the first half, the Rams woke up in the second to get a precious victory in New Orleans.

We wondered what Miami was capable of against a big team. In Green Bay, the playoff dreams took a serious hit for the Dolphins.
Week 13: Jets reception
18. Atlanta Falcons (6-6) -1
Kirk Cousins missed his game. The veteran had better get his act together quickly if he doesn't want to see Michael Penix pass him by. What could be better for him than to do it next Sunday, in Minneapolis, against his former team?
Week 13: trip to the Vikings
19. Indianapolis Colts (6-7) +1
The Colts forced their destiny in Foxborough and will seek a miraculous victory. It was once again complicated for Anthony Richardson, who saved his match with this two-point conversion converted with authority.
Week 13: bye week
20. San Francisco 49ers (5-7) -2
Second heavy defeat in a row for the 49ers who will have to do without Christian McCaffrey for at least 6 weeks. Given the direction the Californians' season is taking, the veteran running back can already plan his vacation.
Week 13: Bears reception
21. Cincinnati Bengals (4-8)

The wait is finally over for Dallas fans. It took until Thanksgiving to see the Cowboys win a game at home.
Week 13: Bengals reception
23. Chicago Bears (4-8) -1
They did it again! The Bears found a new, unexpected way to lose a game. This one will have had the head of Matt Eberflus.
Week 13: trip to the 49ers
24. New Orleans Saints (4-8) -1
End of series for Darren Rizzi and the Saints. This defeat puts an end to the slim hopes of the playoffs for New Orleans.
Week 13: trip to the Giants
25. Cleveland Browns (3-9)
He is capable of throwing 4 touchdowns against the very good Broncos defense, but also conceding two pick-sixes. Jameis Winston will never change.

Week 13: reception of the Buccaneers
31. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-10)

Week 13: trip to the Titans
32. New York Giants (2-10)
At least the Giants hung on this time and kept the Cowboys doubting until the end.
