nfl week 15 power rankings
fortunately for football fans, the final game of week 14 should be a terrific one—and it'll be one with some potentially serious playoff implications. both the ravens and the patriots are battling for the postseason. at 10-2, the patriots currently hold the no. 1 seed in the afc, but they cannot clinch a first-round bye or the afc east title for at least another week.
the miami dolphins are still in play for the afc east crown after moving to 8-5 on sunday.
the ravens, meanwhile, are looking to stay atop the afc north, which will require a win. if baltimore can get to 8-5 on monday night, the team will be tied with the pittsburgh steelers but own the head-to-head tiebreaker.
all of this playoff drama piles on top of the drama-filled week that was. the new york giants kept the dallas cowboys from clinching the nfc east by handing them their second loss of the season on sunday night. the aforementioned dolphins got a win but may have lost quarterback ryan tannehill. the kansas city chiefs took control of the afc west on thursday with a win over the rival oakland raiders.
