There are 14 teams across the league that make the playoffs this year, but not every playoff team is created equal. The playoff picture across the NFL is starting to take shape in a big way, and in the coming weeks, we will begin to see some clinching scenarios develop.
We have taken yet another fun, unique spin with our NFL power rankings, and we are now power ranking all 14 teams currently sitting in a playoff spot. What makes the seven-team playoff format outstanding is that there is only one team in each conference that gets a bye.
Let's power rank the 14 playoff teams after some crazy Week 13 action.
Ranking every playoff team following wild Week 13 action
14. Baltimore Ravens
It's hard to love the Baltimore Ravens right now, as they sit at 6-6 and would likely miss the playoff entirely if they can't win the AFC North. To be fair, though, the Ravens were 1-5 at one point earlier this year, so them being back in the playoff picture is a testament to how they fought through that slow start.
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to get a top-4 seed in the NFC playoffs as long as the Carolina Panthers don't surprisingly take the division away from them. It feels like this is another team that could either win the division or miss the playoffs, as the Wild Card chase is crowded, and the NFC is very deep.
12. Indianapolis Colts
The Indianapolis Colts are collapsing at the wrong time, and QB Daniel Jones really hasn't played well in recent weeks. With a brutally tough schedule remaining, there is a non-zero chance that this team misses the playoffs. Sauce Gardner is also set to miss some time as well.
11. Los Angeles Chargers
The LA Chargers are 8-4 and are a fine team. The depth on the roster is just OK, and the overall talent is subpar. The Bolts should be able to win a couple more games and earn their second Wild Card berth in as many years in the Jim Harbaugh era.
10. Jacksonville Jaguars
The frisky Jaguars 8-4 record is better than the collection of talent they have, if that makes sense. Currently first in the AFC South, the Jags' only chances at winning a playoff game this year is if they are able to win the division.
9. Philadelphia Eagles
Philly is struggling at the wrong time and lost to the Chicago Bears at home. With the Dallas Cowboys right on their tail, the NFC East title, which seemed to be a guarantee, is anything but right now.
