Change of leader in this power ranking! With their 10 consecutive victories, the Eagles take the lead for the first time this season. Beaten by the Bills at home, the Lions see the Vikings come back and no longer have the right to misstep if they want to keep first place in the NFC.
In the other conference, the Chiefs continue to win without dreaming while the Ravens can start to believe in their luck in their division again. Defeated this week, Colts and Dolphins have given up on the playoffs.
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. Philadelphia Eagles (12-2) +1
The Eagles are not lenders. Against Pittsburgh, Philadelphia monopolized the ball for nearly 40 minutes.
Week 15: trip to the Commanders
2. Buffalo Bills (11-3) +3
The Bills have conceded 86 points in two games and that's a real problem. Fortunately for them, their quarterback is in exceptional shape.
Week 15: Patriots reception
3. Kansas City Chiefs (13-1)
The Chiefs like to scare each other. When it's not score-related, it's with a potential serious injury for Mahomes.
Week 15: reception of the Texans
4. Detroit Lions (12-2) -3
The Lions now have 21 players on the injured list, including 15 on defense. The best season in franchise history is being marred by injuries. Detroit maintains the lead in the NFC but sees the Vikings and Eagles come back up to par.
Week 15: trip to the Bears
5. Minnesota Vikings (12-2) -1
With the defeat of Detroit, Minnesota now has its destiny in hand. If the Vikings win their final three games of the season, they will finish first in the NFC conference.
Week 15: trip to the Seahawks
6. Green Bay Packers (10-4) +1
After conceding at least one interception in his first 8 games of the season, Jordan Love continues a fourth game in Seattle without losing a ball. The Packers quarterback is getting clean at the best time.
Week 15: Saints reception
7. Pittsburgh Steelers (10-4) -1
20 minutes of possession, 128 yards in the air, 56 on the ground, the Steelers attack was in great difficulty against the Eagles defense.
Week 15: trip to the Ravens
8. Baltimore Ravens (9-5) +1
Lamar Jackson leaves New York with more touchdowns (5) than missed passes (4).
Week 15: Steelers reception
9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-6) +3
Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans blew up one of the best defenses in the league. Tampa Bay is heading to the playoffs and no one in the NFC is going to want to go play them in Florida.
Week 15: trip to the Cowboys
10. Denver Broncos (9-5) +1
Despite a very complicated start to the match, Bo Nix got back into the game to contribute to the Broncos' ninth victory this year. With now 3 wins ahead of the first non-qualified teams, Denver can already prepare for the playoffs.
Week 15: trip to the Chargers
11. Los Angeles Rams (8-6) +3
After being carried by the attack against the Bills, it was the turn of the defense to offer them victory in San Francisco.
Week 15: trip to the Jets
12. Seattle Seahawks (8-6) -4
Faced with the big guys in the league, Seattle gets stuck and sees the Rams come back up to par in the division. The Seahawks are in danger before hosting the Vikings on Sunday.
Week 15: reception of the Vikings
13. Los Angeles Chargers (8-6) -3
Everything was fine at halftime. The problem is that the Chargers never really came out of the locker room, losing 27-0 in the second half.
Week 15: Broncos reception
14. Washington Commanders (9-5) -1
There are no longer any easy matches for Commanders who are losing momentum. But this success allows them to keep a victory ahead of the Rams and Seahawks, in the race for the playoffs, before the complicated reception of the Eagles.
Week 15: Eagles reception
15. Houston Texans (9-5)
CJ Stroud and the Houston offense can thank Derek Stingley Jr. The cornerback kept a complicated afternoon at Tua Tagovailoa.
Week 15: trip to the Chiefs
16. Arizona Cardinals (7-7) +2
If the Cardinals were to lose Kyler Murray this season, it's not really a problem. They own Clay Tune, they're comfortable financially.
Week 15: trip to the Panthers
17. Miami Dolphins (6-8) -1
Tua Tagavailoa was not in his right mind in Houston. Miami's quarterback is missing out and the Dolphins will be on vacation in three weeks.
Week 15: 49ers reception
18. San Francisco 49ers (6-8) -1
The Californian rain dampened the last hopes of the playoffs for the 49ers.
Week 15: trip to the Dolphins
19. Cincinnati Bengals (6-8)
Second consecutive game with less than 30 points conceded for the Bengals defense which even had the luxury of score a touchdown against the Titans.
Week 15: Browns reception
20. Atlanta Falcons (7-7) +1
The Falcons signed Kirk Cousins for 4 years and he's already burned out before he finishes the first one.
Week 15: Giants reception
21. Dallas Cowboys (6-8) +2
Cooper Rush continues to show that he is a very solid number 2 quarterback.
Week 15: reception of the Buccaneers
22. Indianapolis Colts (6-8) -2
The Colts did whatever it took to lose this game and unsurprisingly, they succeeded.
Week 15: receiving the Titans
23. New Orleans Saints (5-9) -1
With not much left to play for this season, the Saints didn't want to go to overtime. But facing Washington, their panache did not pay off.
Week 15: trip to the Packers
24. New York Jets (4-10) +3
The Rodgers/Adams connection worked wonderfully on Sunday and allowed the Jets to end their four-game losing streak.
Week 15: Rams reception
25. Chicago Bears (4-10) -1
Eighth consecutive loss for the Bears. The firing of Matt Eberflus changed nothing.
Week 15: reception of the Lions
26. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-11) +2
The very solid performance of rookie Brian Thomas Jr was not enough to compensate for the questionable accuracy of Mac Jones.
Week 15: trip to the Raiders
27. Carolina Panthers (3-11) -2
Facing the Cowboys defense, Bryce Young fell back into his ways.
Week 15: Cardinals reception
28. New England Patriots (3-11) +1
Unsurprisingly, New England is headed for a high draft pick for the second year in a row. Enough to surround Drake Maye who continues to show the Patriots that they can build around him.
Week 15: trip to the Bills
29. Cleveland Browns (3-11) -3
Catastrophic Sunday for Jameis Winston, placed on the bench after three interceptions. His replacement, Dorian Thompson-Robinson came on eight minutes from the end of the match. Enough for him to throw one too.
Week 15: trip to the Bengals
30. Tennessee Titans (3-11)
Will Levis achieved the feat of making the Bengals defense look solid during a game.
Week 15: trip to the Colts
31. Las Vegas Raiders (2-12)
The Raiders held on against the Falcons but did not make the mistake of winning.
Week 15: Jaguars reception
32. New York Giants (2-12)
Giants fans saw their team field more quarterbacks (4) than passing touchdowns (3) in their stadium.
Week 15: trip to the Falcons
