NFL Power Rankings, Week 14: Ravens perched atop AFC, Packers bounce back

1. Baltimore Ravens (2)
Sloppy weather conditions or not, the Baltimore Ravens made a big statement in Week 13 as the team to beat in the NFL by taking down the San Francisco 49ers to earn their eighth victory in a row.
Heading into the contest, plenty of football fans believed this could turn out to be an early Super Bowl preview, and while it’s still too early to tell if this will be the case, if these two teams happen to meet in Miami come February, the Ravens should feel extra confident.
Once again, Lamar Jackson continues to make a strong case for MVP honors when the time comes down the road since the Baltimore star quarterback continues to shine on offense after rushing for 101 yards to go along with a score.
Jackson has made it clear numerous times that he prefers to throw the football, but with the poor weather conditions, the quarterback’s ability to be effective with his legs continues to show just how dangerous Baltimore’s offense can be.
With four games remaining in the regular season, the Ravens seem unstoppable at this point, and deserve to be considered the team to beat in the AFC over the New England Patriots.
After watching Baltimore finish on the winning end against San Francisco the way they did, this team should feel confident in being able to beat any team the rest of the way.
