It was another wild week of NFL action, and, as we have done the entire season, our weekly power rankings are ready to go. As always, there were some wild finishes and some upsets as well, and this is the beauty of the NFL.

The parity has never been higher, and, especially in the AFC, the playoff picture is a total mess, but in a good way. It's hard to see who the true contenders are, as well, but we're approaching just one month left of the regular season, so things are only going to heat up some more.

Our latest NFL Power Rankings feature teams like the Dallas Cowboys rising quickly, but also see teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers falling fast. Let's get into it here.

NFL Power Rankings, Week 13: Cowboys rising again, Steelers free-falling

32. New Orleans Saints

The New Orleans Saints come into our updated NFL Power Rankings ranked dead last. The Saints lost to the Atlanta Falcons at home in Week 12, and it was against Kirk Cousins, a backup QB at this point in time.

The Saints are now 2-9 on the season and don’t have much going for them at this point. First-year head coach Kellen Moore inherited a pretty tough situation, and you can’t really judge him fairly based on this year, given how talentless the Saints are.

New Orleans has, for the most part, been ranked last in our power rankings.

31. Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans gave the Seattle Seahawks a run for their money in Week 12, but it wasn’t enough. The Titans are a bad team and are easily the worst in the AFC, at least. This team was the first to fire its head coach, and it is expected that a lot of change hits this team in the offseason.

GM Mike Borgonzi has to infuse this team with much more talent, but, most importantly, they have to find a competent coaching staff to make the most of the Cam Ward era. If I were the Titans, I would see what Mike McCarthy was up to and hire him to steady the ship for a few years, but I’m just one person with an opinion.

Tennessee is multiple years away from winning anything of substance in this league.

30. Las Vegas Raiders

Alright, can we stop this madness? The Las Vegas Raiders are just a hysterically bad operation and led the Cleveland Browns with a rookie QB making his first NFL start, beat them by two touchdowns. This is as low as an NFL franchise can possibly get, and it’s truly pathetic.

I have no idea what the Raiders were thinking in the first place when they traded draft capital for Geno Smith, but it’s been one of the worst trades we’ve seen in the NFL in quite some time. I do understand why the Raiders wanted to hire Pete Carroll, as he has a history of winning, but the Raiders really overshot the talent they thought they had.

This team needs to blow this entire operation up and start from ground zero. It’s going to take years for the Raiders to get into the relevant picture in the AFC, as they might not only be in the best division in football, but they do not have a competent QB in sight, let alone a franchise QB.

The Raiders are among the worst teams in the NFL, again,

29. New York Jets

The New York Jets lost to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 12 and continue to be ranked quite low in our power rankings. The Jets can’t do much of anything right and did trade Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams at the deadline, so this team is obviously heading toward a rebuild in the offseason.

One massive issue is that it’s clear that head coach Aaron Glenn just does not have ‘it,’ and I am not sure it would do this franchise any good to stick with him, but it also wouldn’t really be a great look to fire him after just one reason on the job with very little chance of succeeding. The Jets’ GM is Darren Mougey, and he now has a war chest of draft picks over the next two years to get this operation in a good spot.

The Jets will continue to be ranked low in our NFL Power Rankings, as they will struggle to win another game this year if you ask me.

28. Minnesota Vikings

I have to remember that many young quarterbacks in the NFL just do not look good, and my favorite team had a rookie QB in 2024. The growing pains of JJ McCarthy are obvious, but this might be too much for the second-year quarterback.

“Nine,” as he calls himself, has been a disaster this year and is, in some ways, a de-facto rookie. He missed the entire regular season due to a knee injury, so he entered 2025 already a year behind of schedule.

The other interesting thing here is that the Minnesota Vikings won 14 games last year and added a ton of talent this offseason, so they had clearly hoped to compete now. However, developing a young QB and also wanting to compete and win a ton of games doesn’t really compute.

This also does force the front office to make a huge QB decision in the offseason, unless McCarthy makes a huge turnaround, which feels very unlikely at this point in time.

27. Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals had a chance, but they blew it in overtime and lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars, and this team, once encouraging after a 2-0 start, continues to collapse. Jacoby Brissett has been good for them and is someone they can bring back to start in 2026, as it seems like they want to move on from Kyler Murray.

However, there is no guarantee that the front office or coaching staff will be there in 2026 with how poorly this year has gone. The Cardinals have been out of the playoff picture for week now and really do not have much going for them at this point.

They came into this season fielding a much more talented defensive line, which was their primary weakness in 2025, so I was high on this team as a Wild Card squad, but I could not have been more wrong.

The Cardinals need some major changes to get back into the mix, and it could start with the QB change this coming offseason. Arizona continues to fall in our power rankings.

26. Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons beat the New Orleans Saints in Week 12 with Kirk Cousins at quarterback, but beating the Saints isn’t really that impressive. Cousins was probably excited to get out there, as he’s been a backup for a while now, so he surely prepared his tail off.

But the Falcons have been one of the more disappointing teams in the NFL this year. They were 3-2 at one point and did feel like a team that could go on a run, but poor coaching and just not c coming through late in games has led them to this point.

Both head coach and GM could be shown the door this season, as Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot have regressed this franchise, and they have not figured out the QB situation ever since parting with Matt Ryan all those years ago.

Yet another season to forget, they’ll take any wins they can get at this point, as the Los Angeles Rams actually own their first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

25. Cleveland Browns

How about Shedeur Sanders and the Cleveland Browns? Myles Garrett is inching closer to the single-season sack record, and the Browns just totally embarrassed the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12. They did it with Sanders making his first NFL start, so this was as bad of a loss as a team could have.

But, with that said, the Browns’ defense is legit and is good enough to be in the playoffs, but it’s the QB situation that has avoided them for years now. Many do think that Sanders can be the guy, and you can’t be anything but encouraged after his performance in Week 12.

It was never going to be pretty, but it was about as much as you can ask for, and the Browns did put up 24 points away from home. I do not think that Sanders is good enough to be a franchise QB in this league, but the Browns are surely going to give him the rest of the season to prove something.

Cleveland does have two first-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, and with the QB class projected to be solid, they are likely going to take a first-round passer.

24. New York Giants

The New York Giants took the Detroit Lions into overtime in Detroit, which was a very impressive feat even if they lost. Mike Kafka had his team ready to go, and he does seem to be getting a legitimate shot at the full-time role, as the Giants recently fired Brian Daboll.

The Giants aren’t going to make the playoffs or anything, but they do have the blueprint to make a run in 2026 and get back in the playoffs. Rookie QB Jaxson Dart has looked great this year but has suffered multiple concussions already, so that’s not ideal.

New York largely has a solid roster and might not need a whole lot else to compete. GM Joe Schoen hasn’t done a great job overall, but there are bits of pieces of something great, and I think we saw that in Week 12.

Jameis Winston was playing out of his mind, and he should remain in New York as their backup for as long as possible, as he is not only a great backup, but he seems to be a beloved teammate as well.

The Giants are looking toward 2026, but there is promise.

23. Cincinnati Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals put up a good fight, but the better team won in the end. The New England Patriots did enough to win, and the Bengals continue to circle the drain. The issues with this operation are well-known at this point.

The front office is cheap, outdated, and largely incompetent. The defense is atrocious, and their franchise QB can’t stay healthy consistently, which is a huge problem. The Bengals have to turn the page to 2026, and if it were up to me, they would make wholesale, major changes.

Cincy’s front office would be gutted, and the coaching staff would not return. Joe Burrow is also not doing himself any favors by playing when he’s healthy, as it’s a disastrous situation, and the Bengals are firmly out of the AFC Playoff Picture.

They continue to fall in our power rankings, but I guess if the right players and coaches are brought in this coming offseason, they could get back into the playoffs in 2026. They have not been since 2022.

22. Washington Commanders

Washington was on the bye in Week 12

It’s been a season to forget for the Washington Commanders, as they continue to tumble down our NFL Power Rankings. What’s happened with this team is actually quite clear - they went into the season with a flawed, aging roster, and that roster has since gotten banged up.

Washington is done. They aren’t going to make any sort of late-season surge, as they are playing the Denver Broncos in Week 13 and are likely going to get beaten pretty good. They should look to shut Jayden Daniels down for the rest of the season with an angle toward the 2026 campaign.

GM Adam Peters has to get this offseason right - Washington needs an influx of young talent and also has to do what they can to ensure that Daniels stays healthy, as this year of his rookie deal has been wasted. The Commanders fall in our power rankings.

21. Miami Dolphins

Miami was on the bye in Week 12

The Miami Dolphins beat the Washington Commanders and have been on the bye in Week 12. The Dolphins did part ways with GM Chris Grier and traded Jaelan Phillips at the NFL trade deadline. Miami still seems to be playing quite hard despite them angling toward being in a rebuilding mode in 2026.

I get the sense that Mike McDaniel is going to stick around for another year, and that is likely going to be the case for Tua Tagovailoa as well. There is a path for this tam to get back on the map in 2026, as the new GM simply has to beef up the trenches, and I think that actually might be enough for the time being.

Miami is still way down in the AFC playoff picture and won’t be a factor this year, though.

20. Carolina Panthers

Carolina plays on Monday Night Football

The Carolina Panthers play on Monday Night Football against the San Francisco 49ers, and this is going to be a huge test for the team, as Carolina is 6-5 for a reason, so I guess we’ll see if this team is closer to average or perhaps a playoff squad.

And, don’t look now, but the Panthers are just a half game back of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers approaching Week 12, and Tampa will have played the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football, so the NFC South could legitimately be in reach for the team.

Carolina is also seeing a bit of a progression from Bryce Young, but it’s still nothing special. Still, though, we have to give this team credit - they have made a ton of strides under head coach Dave Canales.

19. Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers were 4-1 at one point earlier this year, but are now 6-5 after another loss. And, with this latest loss, the Steelers are now in second place in the AFC North, as the Baltimore Ravens won again, so there’s that.

The Steelers need a year where they finish with a losing record and do not make the playoffs, as this roster is just average, and there isn’t a franchise QB in sight. Pittsburgh, until they get serious about finding a long-term answer at QB, will continue to accomplish nothing in the playoffs.

Pittsburgh played the Chicago Bears close, which I guess is good for something, but the better team usually wins in the NFL most weeks, and that was the case here. I am not sure Aaron Rodgers playing would have made a difference in the outcome of this game, but that also paints a bleak picture about the QB situation for a franchise that once strived to win Super Bowls, not just make the playoffs. 

The Steelers fall in our NFL Power Rankings, again.

18. Kansas City Chiefs

Despite the win over the Indianapolis Colts, the Kansas City Chiefs have major issues that are not going to go away until better players are brought into the mix. The offensive line could use another starter, and both the WR and RB rooms need major changes.

The defense lacks juice outside of Chris Jones, as they really do not get to the QB consistently. What will keep this team in the mix is the creativity of Andy Reid on offense when his team ‘has to have it,’ and the magic of Patrick Mahomes.

But the Chiefs are 6-5 for a reason and are on the outside looking in of the AFC Playoff Picture right now, and I do not get the sense that they control their own destiny, and they aren’t going to win out.

The Chiefs are a fine team, I guess, but the roster is largely average and has become too Patrick Mahomes-reliant at times, which has caught up to them.

17. Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars did not make it easy, but a win is a win. They took down the Arizona Cardinals in overtime and moved to 7-4 on the season with a huge win. They keep themselves in the playoff picture and are definitely needing to keep this winning up, as there are a ton of 6-5 teams who are eagerly trying to get into the picture themselves.

The Jaguars have seen a stingy defense lead the way, but the passing attack just has not been there this year, and I am not sure Trevor Lawrence has done himself any favors. He threw another three interceptions in Week 12 and has 11 on the year now. He’s also had just three games with this year with a passer rating of at least 90, and zero games with a passer rating of at least 100. It’s not clear what the Jags might do at this position in the offseason, but it’s not been great, and I do believe they are winning in spite of the quarterback, not because of him.

But we have to still give this team a ton of credit, as a 7-4 record is just that, and the Jags are now just one game behind the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC South.

16. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tampa Bay would have played on Sunday Night Football

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are struggling a bit and are likely going to lose to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football. Tampa’s defense has been a problem for most of the season, and unless they pull off an upset, they’re staring at yet another loss and a 6-5 record.

Tampa is one of the most ‘good’ teams in the NFL, and these types of teams don’t have much of a margin for error. Baker Mayfield is a good QB, but he’s not great, and the same can be said for head coach Todd Bowles.

The Bucs have still been able to win the NFC South for years now, but you can definitely see some chinks in the armour. Tampa continues to fall in our NFL Power Rankings. This SNF showdown could be a do-or-die for their season in 2025.

15. Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions won in overtime against the New York Giants, and I am not sure head coach Dan Campbell would be pleased with this kind of effort, as the Lions probably should have beaten up on New York, but that was not the case.

The Lions, even with a win, are still in third place in the NFC North, as the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers both won. The entire operation seems to have taken a step back this year, and it seems like losing both Aaron Glenn and Ben Johnson has caught up to them a bit.

If nothing else, though, the Lions are one of the more talented teams in the NFL and should be able to stack four-ish more wins because of that, but they do need the Packers and Bears to slip up a bit if they hope to win the NFC North again.

The Lions have also kind of fallen flat on their face in the playoffs, so that’s an entirely different story. A win is a win, but it was not a pretty one for Detroit.

14. San Francisco 49ers

San Francisco plays on Monday Night Football

The San Francisco 49ers play on Monday Night Football against the Carolina Panthers and are likely staring down an 8-4 start, which is crazy to think given how many injuries this team has gone through this year. It’s been a great coaching job by Kyle Shanahan and his staff this year, and you really have to wonder how far this team can truly go.

Brock Purdy is back in the lineup, but guys like Nick Bosa and Fred Warner are missing the rest of the season. To make it even more interesting, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and the Niners seem to be headed toward a divorce this coming offseason.

And with how competent the Niners are this year, it would not shock me if they were back on the Super Bowl map in 2026 once they get healthy and get their key players back. San Fran should be able to take care of business against the Panthers in Week 12.

13. Baltimore Ravens

It’s definitely not been pretty for the Baltimore Ravens, and the offense really hasn’t looked that special, but wins look the same record-wise, and the Ravens are now 6-5 on the season after a horrendous 1-5 start, so this team has totally turned things around.

And, they are now in first-place in the AFC North thanks to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ loss to the Chicago Bears. The entire AFC North is relatively irrelevant, though, as the Browns and Bengals are not making the playoffs, and I am not sure the Ravens or Steelers are even good enough to win a playoff game.

This once proud division is filled with flawed teams and bad quarterback play. The Ravens, though, keep stacking wins and are trending toward winning the division. Baltimore has not won multiple games in the postseason since 2012, so this team really hasn’t been much of a threat when they get into the postseason.

12. Los Angeles Chargers

Los Angeles was on the bye in Week 12

The Los Angeles Chargers limped into the bye Week at 7-4 thanks to a blowout loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars. LA has been dealing with some injuries this year, as both tackles in Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater are out for the year, and the interior offensive line was an issue to begin with.

The Chargers also just did not come into the season with a great roster and did have below-average depth, so that’s showing itself in an ugly way this year. The Chargers being on the bye should help things, and they still should be good enough to sneak into the postseason as a Wild Card team.

11. Dallas Cowboys

How about the Dallas Cowboys? This team has now won two games in a row, and they have done so in impressive fashion. Dallas beat the snot out of the Las Vegas Raiders a couple of weeks ago and mounted a 21-point comeback at home against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Sure, the Cowboys might not be able to win enough to win the NFC East this year, but you get the sense that Dallas is going to make things very interesting in the playoff picture as the season goes on.

The defensive additions have worked thus far, and the offense is going to always be efficient. Dak Prescott had another great game, and the defense really shut things down for the Eagles in the second half.

The Cowboys rise a lot in our NFL Power Rankings and have a short week, as they host the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving and will have a chance to get to 6-5-1, which would really give them a huge confidence boost for the stretch run.

The Cowboys are now no. 11 in our power rankings, a huge rise.

10. Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills should be worried, folks, as we are definitely seeing the shortcomings of this team being exposed, and most of this falls on the shoulders of GM Brandon Beane, who really hasn’t done a great job in recent years at assembling good enough rosters.

This could be a case of him thinking Josh Allen can simply cover up for the team’s weaknesses. With this latest loss to the Houston Texans on Thursday Night Football, Buffalo is now a full two games behind the New England Patriots in the AFC East, depending on what the Pats do in Week 12.

The Bills just don’t have a great team - the roster is flawed, the defense struggles, and they really don’t have a clear-cut go-to weapon on offense, so Buffalo isn’t a Super Bowl team and should again find themselves on the coach in late January.

Could we see some major change in the offseason when this inevitably happens? Both Beane and head coach Sean McDermott could be on the hot seat.

9. Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles were trending toward blowing out the Dallas Cowboys, but the Cowboys marched back and won a game-winning field goal as time expired. It was an emotional win for Dallas for obvious reasons, and the Eagles lost their third game of the year, dropping to 8-3 but still having a stranglehold on the NFC East.

Unless Philly totally collapses, they will win the division and earn one of the top four seeds in the NFC playoffs. However, their quest for the top seed is going to be a lot harder, as a team like the LA Rams will have something to say about that.

Philly has issues - the defense lacks a consistent pass rush, the running game has never really taken off this year, and the quarterback hasn’t always been a consistent passer. The Eagles blew a 21-0 lead, which is a huge concern as well.

This is not a Super Bowl team, and you can clearly see the regression from this squad. Philly drops a bit in our power rankings, but are still a good team overall.

8. Indianapolis Colts

This was not a great performance from the Indianapolis Colts, as they held a double-digit lead multiple times in this game and could not close it out, and I think we are beginning to see this team kind of struggle and fall apart slowly.

Daniel Jones was nothing special in this game, and the offense totally fell flat when the team needed them the most. The defense is good, but it’s not good enough to rely on to win a game like some of these other elite defenses in the league.

This latest Colts’ loss bumps them to that third seed in the AFC, and with an incredibly tough schedule left, they might be at risk of losing the AFC South altogether, as the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars are both frisky.

It will be interesting how the Colts are able to navigate this tough stretch, as they won’t need to win many more to at least get back into the playoffs, but winning the division just got a lot harder with a brutal overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12.

7. Houston Texans

The Houston Texans began the year 0-3. The Houston Texans are now 6-5, so that’s a thing. They’ve made an insane turnaround this year, and not having CJ Stroud for multiple games has made this resurgence even more impressive.

This might just be the best defense in the NFL, and it would be good enough for a deep playoff run. Heading into Week 12, the Texans obviously hope that the Jaguars and Colts lose, as they would continue to make progress in the AFC South, a division they have won in each of the previous two seasons.

CJ Stroud also figures to be back at some point, and that should only make things better for the team. Houston is rising fast in our NFL Power Rankings and are probably again going to win double-digit games. A Colts’ collapse could throw the division in their favor this year.

6. Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers held the fort down at home and beat the Minnesota Vikings, a team struggling to get anything going on offense with JJ McCarthy at quarterback, and the Vikings are honestly turning into a ‘get right’ game for many teams, as the second-year McCarthy has been horrendous thus far.

The Packers moved to 7-3-1 with the win, and that tie against the Dallas Cowboys earlier this year can really make things interesting in the NFC North, as they are above the 7-4 Detroit Lions, even with their win in Week 12.

Green Bay still does not feel like a great team, though, and that is what we’ve been waiting for. They made a run in 2023 and won 11 games in 2024, so the logical next step was vaulting into contention.

Despite the great record, I do not have the feeling that this team can hang around deep in the NFC playoffs, so that’s where I am at.

Still, though, a win is a win, and the Packers are still in a good spot to win the NFC North if the Chicago Bears can slip up here in the coming weeks.

5. Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears keep ownership of that top spot in the NFC North with a huge win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, and this win really makes me believe in this team, as the defense was missing multiple starters, and things looked rough at first.

But, it’s another one-score victory for Ben Johnson’s team, and you can just tell that the Bears have it.

Sure, the Bears might not win the Super Bowl this year, but they are still in first place 12 weeks into the season, so it goes to show you just how much the right coaching can help a team. Even with the Lions and Packers winning, the Bears are holding firm.

I do have some concerns about this defense down the stretch, as it’s not been a very good unit overall, but Chicago keeps the win streak alive and can surely figure something out on that side of the ball down, as Dennis Allen is a veteran coordinator, and his defense forces a ton of takeaways.

The Bears continue to be among the better teams in the NFL with yet another win. Chicago moves to 8-3 on the season with this win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

4. Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks did not blowout the Tennessee Titans, and that was actually a shock to me, as the Titans might be the worst team in football, and Seattle is one of the more complete squads this year. If there was ever such a thing as a bad win, this just might be it.

But after a brutal loss to the LA Rams a week ago, the Seahawks needed to see the ball go in the hoop and get back on the right track. Seattle also now has to hope that the LA Rams start losing if they want to grab the NFC West title this year.

One huge concern with this team, and we saw it last year with the QB, is that Sam Darnold has not really come through in bigger games. He wasn’t very good for the Vikings over those final two games of 2024, and in Week 11 against the Rams, he tossed four interceptions.

With as good as Darnold has been since 2024, his not being able to perform in big games is going to cost any team he is on. For now, though, the Seahawks are still near the top of our power rankings and are a well-oiled machine, as second-year head coach Mike Macdonald has done quite the job with this squad in his short time.

3. New England Patriots

The New England Patriots did not make it easy, but they beat the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12 and moved to 10-2 on the season, becoming the first team in the NFL to 10 wins this year. For the time being, the Patriots are atop the AFC, but if the Denver Broncos keep pace with the Patriots, they would ascend to the top due to tiebreakers thus far.

However, the Patriots are still in a great spot and are likely going to win the AFC East this year after a five-year run from the Buffalo Bills. It might be hard to envision the Bills going on the road in the AFC playoffs, but that is where we are trending right now.

One thing that can go against the Patriots is the overall roster talent. It’s a good roster, but it’s not great, and they do not have a ton of star power. Left tackle Will Campbell also had to be carted off in Week 12, so that’s something to keep an eye out for over the next few days.

The Patriots continue to be one of the best teams in the NFL, and the total 180 this franchise has done is flat-out amazing.

2. Denver Broncos

Denver was on the bye in Week 12

The Denver Broncos have now won eight games in a row and are 9-2 at the bye. The Broncos had played the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11, and many people across the NFL landscape had thought that the Chiefs were going to win this game and get right back into the AFC West.

Well, the Broncos are the better team and won, and they won because they’re the better team, period. Denver now has six games remaining and have built up a pretty big cushion in the AFC West. which is ideal for their chances.

The last time Denver won the division was 2015, and that was the year they last won the Super Bowl. Not only that, but the Broncos were 9-2 at this point in 2015, and the Super Bowl that year is in the same place this year.

Could this be a team of destiny? Maybe, but the concerns on the offensive side of the ball could prevent this team from winning it all this year.

1. Los Angeles Rams

Los Angeles would have played on Sunday Night Football

The Los Angeles Rams might be the best team in football, and just four years after winning the Super Bowl, the Rams feel poised, with a totally new squad, to get back to the big game this year. The Rams will have played on Sunday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and I do believe they will have won that game.

With the MVP in the league thus far in Matthew Stafford, and a top-2 head coach in Sean McVay, the Rams are an absolute wagon, and their main weakness might actually be a subpar special teams unit.

That can be fixed a lot earlier than an inept offense or defense, though. I’d be shocked if LA didn’t beat the Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football. With the most important parts of an NFL roster in a great spot, the Rams can beat anyone.

They continue to remain high in our NFL Power Rankings, and I don’t think that is going to change.
