2021 NFL Power Rankings Week 16: Packers & Chiefs rise, Patriots dip
16. team. 55. . . Previous: 17th. Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to find ways to stay in the conversation, don’t they?
They had to come back against the Tennessee Titans, and they did.
Not only did the Steelers maintain relevance in the AFC playoff race with this huge win, but they also managed to knock the Titans out of the top overall slot in the AFC.
More on that later.
The Steelers’ defense is capable of taking over games when they play like they did vs. Tennessee on Sunday. The offense, led by Ben Roethlisberger, is the weekly Wild Card.
Does Big Ben have one more run in him?
team. 59. . . Previous: 21st. Miami Dolphins. 15
It’s time to start putting some respect on the Miami Dolphins name again, isn’t it?
Sure, it was a win against the New York Jets, but it represented the latest in a six-game winning streak for Brian Flores’ crew.
Now we are starting to see how well this team plays together as just that — a team.
The Dolphins threw Duke Johnson Jr. into the lineup on Sunday and he ran for over 100 yards and two touchdowns for them.
This Miami defense was swarming against the Jets with six sacks, seven tackles for loss, and eight QB hits on the game.
Christian Wilkins even got involved with a touchdown catch offensively.
