NFL Power Rankings, Week 17: Eagles bury Cowboys, Ravens clinch No. 1 seed

After another exciting weekend of action, here’s a look at the NFL Power Rankings Week 17.

To no one’s surprise, the NFL Power Rankings Week 17 have plenty for football fans to discuss, whether it happens to be an overtime thrilled between the Cincinnati Bengals and Miami Dolphins or the Arizona Cardinals pulling off a shocking upset over the Seattle Seahawks.

But when it comes to one of the most talked about games from the weekend, it’s difficult to top the storyline from the NFC East in which the Philadelphia Eagles topped the Dallas Cowboys 17-9 to officially take the division lead.

For weeks, there’s been plenty of speculation how the winner of the NFC East could be decided in Week 16, and thanks to the Eagles coming out on top Sunday, Doug Pederson’s squad now controls their own playoff destiny.

Some football fans will find it unfair that Philadelphia or Dallas will get to host a playoff game in January, depending on which team ends up finishing on top of the division, but one of the best parts about the NFL is how anything is possible on a weekly basis.

For all those football fans know, one of these teams could end up embracing the opportunity of participating in the playoffs, and make a surprise of their own come January.

Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens found a way to win their 11th game in a row in Week 16 after defeating the Cleveland Browns 31-15 to officially lock up the top overall seed in the AFC.

Just like that, Lamar Jackson emerging as a MVP has resulted in the AFC playoffs running through Baltimore, and if the last three months are any indication of what to expect, the rest of the conference could be in serious trouble.

As for what else took place in Week 16, well it’s time to jump in, and discuss the rest of the NFL Power Rankings by kicking things off with the one-win Bengals.
