NFL Team Rankings

A lot of teams get locked in place now, because we are reaching the time of year when strange weather becomes a factor, or because some teams are not playing as hard because they have already clinched playoff berths, or been eliminated.

ELITE

Patriots

EXCELLENT

Colts
Cowboys

GOOD

Jaguars
Packers: Losing to the Bears twice shows me the Pack are not all that good. However, I will consider the game conditions were less than ideal. The fact they beat the Chargers earlier this season still keeps them up here.
Chargers

AVERAGE

Steelers
Browns
Redskins: The Redskins game with the Vikings was the most meaningful to the rankings. Their win showed they are playoff-ready compared to the Vikings, so the Skins get to leapfrog up to this spot.
Vikings
Giants
Bills: Their loss to the Giants brings them down a few notches.
Seahawks
Eagles
Lions
Bears: While beating the Packers twice was pretty impressive, they also lost twice to the Lions.
Titans
Texans
Broncos
Buccaneers
Panthers
Chiefs
Saints
49ers
Cardinals
Bengals
Raiders

BAD

Ravens
Jets
Rams
Falcons
Dolphins
