NFL Power Rankings Week 15: All 32 Teams Ranked Worst To First Ahead Of Week 15

Week 14 of the NFL season is in the books. Here are all 32 teams ranked worst to first ahead of Week 15.

We are officially into the home stretch of the NFL season, as we are in the final quarter of the regular season. Week 14 has set us up with some really intriguing games the rest of the way.

32. New York Giants (2-11)

Last Week: 14-11 (L) vs. Saints
This Week: vs. Ravens

Credit to the Giants for playing hard and fighting back after a rough start. But, the fact they lost on a blocked field goal shows what kind of season it’s been. Everything that could go wrong, has gone wrong.

31. Las Vegas Raiders (2-11)

Last Week: 28-13 (L) @ Buccaneers
This Week: vs. Falcons

The Raiders are awful, and now their fans will have to suffer through Desmond Ridder likely quarterbacking the team the rest of the season. It doesn’t get much worse than that. Thankfully, there should be a new franchise quarterback on the way this offseason.

30. Tennessee Titans (3-10)

Last Week: 10-6 (L) vs. Jaguars
This Week: vs. Bengals

The Titans aren’t very good, but a loss to a Jaguars team without Trevor Lawrence was still pretty stunning. The fact they could only muster six points against one of the world’s worst defenses shows just how much work has to be done on the Tennessee offense this offseason.

29. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-10)

Last Week: 10-6 (W) @ Titans
This Week: vs. Jets

The Jaguars got a divisional win, and they fought hard for lame duck head coach Doug Pederson. It did knock them out of pole position for the first-overall pick, however.

28. New York Jets (3-10)

Last Week: 32-26 (L) @ Dolphins
This Week: @ Jaguars

Once again, the Jets found a way to lose. They actually played a pretty good game against the Dolphins, but a few missed throws from Aaron Rodgers and porous defense did them in late. Fans are begging for the season to end.

27. New England Patriots (3-10)

Last Week: Bye
This Week: @ Cardinals

The Patriots will look to continue to see Drake Maye develop in the final four games of the season.

26. Chicago Bears (4-9)

Last Week: 38-13 (L) @ 49ers
This Week: vs. Panthers

The Bears were completely non-competitive on Sunday in interim head coach Thomas Brown’s debut. It was a huge step back for an offense that had been showing some progress. Like the Jets, they’re just waiting for the season to end at this point.

25. Dallas Cowboys (5-8)

Last Week: 27-20 (L) vs. Bengals
This Week: @ Panthers

The Cowboys probably should’ve beat Cincinnati, only to lose on a fluke play after a blocked punt should’ve set them up with the game-winning score. It’s been that kind of year in Dallas.

24. Cleveland Browns (3-10)

Last Week: 27-14 (L) @ Steelers
This Week: vs. Chiefs

Early on, it looked like the Browns could get their first win in Pittsburgh since Tim Couch was under center. Ultimately, they fell short, but Jameis Winston continues to make them entertaining, at least.

23. Carolina Panthers (3-10)

Last Week: 22-16 (L) @ Eagles
This Week: @ Bears

The Panthers were literally inches from taking the lead late in the game in what would’ve been a huge upset over the Eagles. This is a team that could make a huge leap this year. It’s made a big leap this year, frankly.

22. New Orleans Saints (5-8)

Last Week: 14-11 (W) @ Giants
This Week: vs. Commanders

The Saints continue to play hard for interim head coach Darren Rizzi, who might coach himself into getting the permanent gig. Sadly, it seems like an injury to his non-throwing hand may end Derek Carr’s season.

21. Atlanta Falcons (6-7)

Last Week: 42-21 (L) @ Vikings
This Week: @ Raiders

The Falcons have now lost four in a row, Kirk Cousins is regressing, and their once-commanding lead in the NFC South is gone. Is it time to bench Kirk Cousins?

20. Cincinnati Bengals (5-8)

Last Week: 27-20 (W) @ Cowboys
This Week: @ Titans

Finally, the ball bounced Cincinnati’s way for seemingly the first time all season when the Cowboys muffed a punt they had already blocked. There is a slim path to the playoffs still, but they have to win out. Thankfully, Joe Burrow is good enough to do just that.

19. Indianapolis Colts (6-7)

Last Week: Bye
This Week: @ Broncos

It’s must-win territory for the Colts the rest of the way. A big in Denver awaits.

18. Arizona Cardinals (6-7)

Last Week: 30-18 (L) vs. Seahawks
This Week: vs. Jaguars

The Cardinals have definitely shown progress this year, but ultimately the thought of them being a playoff team may have been premature. This three-game losing streak shows there are still things to fix.

17. San Francisco 49ers (6-7)

Last Week: 38-13 (W) vs. Bears
This Week: vs. Rams

The 49ers desperately needed a get-right game, and they got one. A banged-up team dominated the Bears in all facets. Now, they head into a must-win game at home against the Rams. They need this one if they want any hope of a playoff spot.

16. Miami Dolphins (6-7)

Last Week: 32-26 (W) vs. Jets
This Week: @ Texans

The Dolphins won a close game, beating the Jets in overtime. Plenty of close games have gone against Miami this year. Ultimately, it’s probably win-out territory for the Dolphins if they want to make the postseason for a third-straight year.

15. Houston Texans (8-5)

Last Week: Bye
This Week: vs. Dolphins

The Texans will look to finish strong after a mediocre middle part of the season. Thankfully, they’re very much in control of the AFC South.

14. Seattle Seahawks (8-5)

Last Week: 30-18 (W) @ Cardinals
This Week: vs. Packers

A fantastic road win has given the Seahawks a one-game lead in the NFC West. If Geno Smith doesn’t turn the ball over and they run the ball like they did against the Cardinals, they are tough to beat.

13. Washington Commanders (8-5)

Last Week: Bye
This Week: @ Saints

The Commanders are in a situation few expected them to be in at the beginning of the year, as they’re firmly in the playoff picture. They need to avoid a late-season letdown.

12. Los Angeles Rams (7-6)

Last Week: 44-42 (W) vs. Bills
This Week: vs. 49ers

The Rams won arguably the game of the year in the NFL so far when they upset the Bills on Sunday. Not only was it a statement win and a confidence-builder, but it got them back above .500. A huge game against the 49ers awaits.

11. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-6)

Last Week: 28-13 (W) vs. Raiders
This Week: @ Chargers

The Buccaneers got off to a fast start and took care of business against the Raiders, moving into sole possession of 1st place in the NFC South. But, a sprained knee for superstar safety Antoine Winfield Jr. is a tough loss.

10. Denver Broncos (8-5)

Last Week: Bye
This Week: vs. Colts

The Broncos ought to beat the Colts at home this weekend. It’s a game they need, because the schedule gets tough the rest of the way.

9. Los Angeles Chargers (8-5)

Last Week: 19-17 (L) @ Chiefs
This Week: vs. Buccaneers

Only a field goal knocked in by the upright kept the Chargers from upsetting the Chiefs. It was a very encouraging performance for Justin Herbert and his teammates. They should feel like they can beat anyone in the playoffs, given how they played at Arrowhead Stadium.

8. Baltimore Ravens (8-5)

Last Week: Bye
This Week: @ Giants

The Ravens get the New York Giants coming off of a Bye Week, which essentially turns it into a double-bye. Expect any Ravens with bumps and bruises to be held out as they get ready for the stretch run.

7. Pittsburgh Steelers (10-3)

Last Week: 27-14 (W) vs. Browns
This Week: @ Eagles

After a slow start, Pittsburgh dominated the middle quarters against Cleveland on Sunday. At a certain point, people need to start taking this team seriously as potential Super Bowl contenders.

6. Green Bay Packers (9-4)

Last Week: 34-31 (L) @ Lions
This Week: @ Seahawks

Green Bay played a fantastic game in Detroit, overcoming a slow start by Jordan Love to take the Lions to the brink. This is a team that can beat anyone in the postseason. The question is if they can string consecutive wins against good teams together.

5. Minnesota Vikings (11-2)

Last Week: 42-21 (W) vs. Falcons
This Week: vs. Bears

Sam Darnold played probably the best game of his NFL career on Sunday. If he continues to play well, the Vikings have a very interesting decision to make regarding Darnold, who will be a free agent in the offseason. First-rounder JJ McCarthy, who spent the entire season on IR this year, is waiting in the wings.

4. Buffalo Bills (10-3)

Last Week: 44-42 (L) @ Rams
This Week: @ Lions

It’s hard to go across the country and win, and Matthew Stafford played a fantastic game. What’s concerning is that Sean McDermott once again did not make the correct game management decisions in the final two minutes. It’s a trend that’s hard to ignore.

3. Kansas City Chiefs (12-1)

Last Week: 19-17 (W) vs. Chargers
This Week: @ Browns

The Chiefs seemingly invent new ways to win each week, this time banking in the winning field goal off an upright as time expired. These close games are going to catch up with them at some point, right? Right?

2. Philadelphia Eagles (11-2)

Last Week: 22-16 (W) vs. Panthers
This Week: vs. Steelers

It wasn’t pretty, but Philadelphia won their ninth-straight thanks to another stellar performance by Saquon Barkley. What makes this team so dangerous is that they can win games in a variety of ways. Their matchup with the Steelers this weekend is can’t-miss television.

1. Detroit Lions (12-1)

Last Week: 34-31 (W) vs. Packers
This Week: vs. Bills

The injuries continue to pile up on defense, though thankfully most of them seem to be short-term. But, this offense and Dan Campbell’s confidence in trusting the analytics and running behind his league-best offensive line on crucial fourth downs make the Lions nearly impossible to beat. This weekend’s game against the Bills is going to be fantastic.
