NFL POWER RANKINGS WEEK 15 Craig Morgan RANK TEAM 1 Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday's game against New England should decide the AFC's top seed. 2 New England Patriots Tom Brady had a bad day in a los to the Dolphins. We probably won't see another one this season. 3 Philadelphia Eagles The Eagles aren’t cursed by unseen forces. It just feels that way after Carson Wentz's ACL tear. 4 Minnesota Vikings What does it mean that Vikings QB Case Keenum, Eagles QB Nick Foles & Rams QB Jared Goff all played for Jeff Fisher the last 3 seasons? 5 Jacksonville Jaguars I'm still trying to figure out why Jacksonville has a football team. 6 Los Angeles Rams Why did coach Sean McVay run play-action late in a loss to the Eagles with his starting RT out and the Rams running well? 7 New Orleans Saints The NFL confirmed former that Falcon Phil McKinnely served as a down judge for the Falcons' win over the game. Just wow. 8 Carolina Panthers Daryl Worley posted the first INT by a Carolina CB all season in a win over the Vikings. 9 Seattle Seahawks The Seahawks' linebacker injuries could loom large against the Rams this week. 10 Atlanta Falcons Atlanta's victory sets up an incredible three-team race in the NFC South. 11 Tennessee Titans Marcus Mariota just isn't a very good quarterback. 12 Los Angeles Chargers Two LA playoff teams? That would be something considering the way this season started. 13 Baltimore Ravens The Ravens' path to the playoffs is pretty easy: Browns, Colts, Bengals. 14 Dallas Cowboys The Cowboys are just like the Packers. They'll get their superstar back (Ezekiel Elliott) one week too late to matter. 15 Kansas City Chiefs To paraphrase a friend: The AFC West race is like watching three blind dogs fighting over a chicken bone. 16 Detroit Lions The Lions need to win out against the Bears, Bengals and Packers. Laying odds their dream dies in that final week. 17 Green Bay Packers You admire the Packers for keeping their playoff hopes alive for Aaron Rodgers. It won't matter, though. The won't make it. 18 Oakland Raiders The Raiders are the NFL's most disappointing team. 19 Buffalo Bills Three weeks left for the Bills to find a way to extend the NFL's longest playoff drought to 18 seasons. 20 Arizona Cardinals Carson Palmer can come back if he wants now. I'm convinced Blaine Gabbert is a backup QB. 21 New York Jets The Jets had 100 yards of offense in a loss to the Broncos. 22 Cincinnati Bengals The Bengals' 33-7 loss to the Bears was its worst home loss since a 34-3 loss to Baltimore in 2008. 23 Washington Redskins The Redskins lost RB Byron Marshall to a hamstring injury when he stumbled on the turf trying to field a kickoff. Seriously. 24 Miami Dolphins What a performance by Jay Cutler to beat the Patriots. He'll throw three picks against the Bills this week -- one a pick-6. 25 Houston Texans Joining the chorus: How was Tom Savage allowed to return to the game last week? 26 Chicago Bears Mitch Trubisky had his best performance in a win over the Bengals. 27 Denver Broncos The Broncos snapped their longest losing streak (8 games) since joining the NFL in 1970 with a 23-0 shutout of the Jets. 28 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Why is Dirk Koetter on the hot seat after less than two seasons -- one a winning season? 29 Indianapolis Colts Officially retired Devin Hester won't make the Hall of Fame, but he should. He's the best ever at what he did. 30 San Francisco 49ers Let's slow down that Jimmy Garoppolo hype train a bit. There have been good signs, but we're a long way from great. 31 New York Giants I will take this belief to my grave: Eli Manning was overrated. 32 Cleveland Browns It's almost like Cleveland is trying to lose..
