As the playoffs inch closer, we are starting to see what teams are in contention and what teams are falling behind in the Wild Card and divisional races. While teams such as the Baltimore Ravens and Seattle Seahawks continue to move towards a playoff berth, the Miami Dolphins, San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs have lost a ton of ground.
As the temperature throughout the country continues to drop, the NFL season is only heating up. This is the most exciting part of the season. With just a few weeks left in the regular season, the races are getting tighter and each game has more and more meaning to them. These teams that are fighting for a spot in the postseason are essentially playing a playoff game each week.
It’s not just the teams that are fighting for a spot that have impressed either. Just one week after their head-to-head matchup, both the Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots were victorious. All eyes will be on these two teams in the next few weeks as they continue to take one step forward in clinching the number one seed and home field advantage for the playoffs.
Week 14 is now in the books. Check out where your favorite team ranks in this weeks version of NFL Power Rankings.
