Week 14: Power Rankings
Number 17: Miami Dolphins (6-6) – Last Week 19
Woohoo! Jet week was a success for my Dolphins as they absolutely dismantled New York in every aspect of the game! That’s my favorite thing in all of football.
Number 18: Tennessee Titans (5-7) – Last Week 16
The Titans were so close from beating the Colts this past Sunday. A win would have put them in the conversation for a division title, however, they lost and are most likely out of the playoff race. They are still the best average team in the NFL in my opinion.
Number 19: San Diego Chargers (5-7) – Last Week 17
The Chargers were able to match-up pretty well against the Bengals. Both teams pretty much had the same statistics in total yards, yards per play, first downs and time of possession. The only thing that hurt San Diego was they had more turnovers.
Number 20: New York Jets (5-7) – Last Week 18
This is the Jets that everyone thought they would see when the season started. Geno Smith is absolutely terrible and was benched at halftime in favor of Matt Sims. This team is collapsing and they are collapsing quickly.
Number 21: St. Louis Rams (5-7) – Last Week 20
St. Louis was completely dominated by San Francisco on Sunday. Other than a late touchdown in the fourth quarter they couldn’t mount anything offensively.
Number 22: New York Giants (5-7) – Last Week 23
The Giants continue to roll. With a win Sunday Night against the Washington Redskins the Giants have now won five out of their last six games. This team has really come together over the past month and a half. Unfortunately, their run might be a little bit too late this season as a playoff berth looks very bleak right now.
Number 23: Pittsburgh Steelers (5-7) – Last Week 22
The Steelers lost a close game to the Ravens Thanksgiving night. That’s not the big story out of Pittsburgh though. Mike Tomlin is facing a serious fine and the Steelers might lose a draft pick after Tomlin stepped onto the field and interfered with Jacoby Jones on his kick return. Stupid move for a Super Bowl caliber coach.
Number 24: Oakland Raiders (4-8) – Last Week 24
Ignore the record for a second. The Raiders are having a great year. Outside of three of their losses they have been in every game. Both Terrelle Pryor and Matt McGloin have played very well all season. A strong end of the season will give them a lot to look forward to heading into next season.
Number 25: Buffalo Bills (4-8) – Last Week 25
The Bills found themselves in a real competitive game against the Atlanta Falcons this past Sunday, however, they were unable to finish them off in overtime. This game turned into a shootout very quickly and ended up being one of the best games of the week.
Number 26: Cleveland Browns (4-8) – Last Week 26
I have taken two things away from Cleveland this season. One: getting rid of Trent Richardson for a first round pick was a steal. Two: Josh Gordon is a STUD!
Number 27: Washington Redskins (3-9) – Last Week 27
At what point do the Redskins just bench RGIII for the rest of the season? Let him get healthier while they can boost the trade market for Kirk Cousins. This team is playing with no motivation and have dropped their last four games and five out of their last six.
Number 28: Atlanta Falcons (3-9) – Last Week 29
As I said earlier, the game between the Falcons and the Bills was one of the better games of the week. It went down to the wire and the Falcons were able to come out victorious.
Number 29: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-9) – Last Week 28
Despite playing good football as of late the Bucs had no chance against the Carolina Panthers. To the surprise of almost no one, the offense was unable to get anything going.
Number 30: Minnesota Vikings (3-8-1) – Last Week 30
Adrian Peterson definitely took advantage of Chicago’s horrid run defense. He ran the ball 35 times for over 200 yards. Why is he still on this team? He needs to request a trade ASAP!
Number 31: Jacksonville Jaguars (3-9) – Last Week 32
The Jacksonville Jaguars have won three out of their last four games. Huh? Not a typo. Surprisingly this team has played with a lot of heart the past month and it has shown on the field. Good for them.
Number 32: Houston Texans (2-10) – Last Week 31
So close, yet so far. Houston was almost able to hold off the New England Patriots. They led by ten points before they entered a shootout with Tom Brady. If the Texans get the first pick do they draft a quarterback or Clowney?
