Welcome back to another edition of my NFL Power Rankings here on Fans First Sports!

As the AFC race tightens and the best of the NFC continue to separate from the rest of the pack, the playoff picture is starting to take shape. There will be some teams that make the playoffs that won’t spark any faith from NFL fans looking at the field. There seem to be more pretenders than normal, especially in the AFC. My 10th ranked team is an AFC squad that just lost to a 2-win team this last week and has suffered a rash of injuries to key positions.

What matters though, unlike in College football for instance, are the wins and losses, and how well you’re playing as the postseason approaches. This week, we’ll give a one-line analysis of each team to get a feel for where they’re at heading into Week 14. Let’s dive in!

1. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

Record: 9-3

One-Liner: If they keep playing like this, no one is beating them until at least next September.

2. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

Record: 10-2

One-Liner: The Eagles may end up as the NFC’s 5th seed after Sunday.

3. DALLAS COWBOYS

Record: 9-3

One-Liner: This is the only team in the NFC who can match the 49ers skill on both offense and defense.

4. MIAMI DOLPHINS

Record: 9-3

One-Liner: The Dolphins might seriously be the best team in the AFC.

5. BALTIMORE RAVENS

Record: 9-3

One-Liner: I still don’t trust this team to keep it together all the way to the Super Bowl.

6. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

Record: 8-4

One-Liner: The Chiefs may be finding out that you can’t put just anyone around Mahomes after all.

7. DETROIT LIONS

Record: 9-3

One-Liner: Have to put them this high, but that defense makes me not want to.

8. HOUSTON TEXANS

Record: 7-5

One-Liner: If Trevor Lawrence misses much time, the Texans will win the South.

9. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

Record: 8-4

One-Liner: If Trevor Larence misses much time, the Jaguars will lose the South.

10. PITTSBURGH STEELERS

Record: 7-5

One-Liner: Somehow, this team will find a way to be playing for a division title in Week 18.

11. BUFFALO BILLS

Record: 6-6

One-Liner: The reason Kansas City will be 8-5 after Week 14.

12. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Record: 7-5

One-Liner: The most underrated story in football is how Gardner Minshew has this team in playoff contention.

13. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

Record: 6-6

One-Liner: This team might miss the playoffs entirely; no joke.

14. DENVER BRONCOS

Record: 6-6

One-Liner: Fittingly, this 6-6 squad is literally the most mid team in all of football.

15. CLEVELAND BROWNS

Record: 7-5

One-Liner: The fact that this team is still the AFC’s 6th seed is nothing short of a miracle.

16. ATLANTA FALCONS

Record: 6-6

One-Liner: “If only (insert middle-of-the-pack-AFC-squad) played in this division, they’d be running away with it.”

17. LOS ANGELES RAMS

Record: 6-6

One-Liner: This is the team nobody wants to face right now.

18. GREEN BAY PACKERS

Record: 6-6

One-Liner: Or is that this team…?

19. CINCINNATI BENGALS

Record: 6-6

One-Liner: Did the spirit of Joe Burrow take over the body of Jake Browning last week?

20. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS

Record: 5-7

One-Liner: Is there a QB in NFL history whose stellar career was wasted as badly as Herbert’s has been so far?

21. MINNESOTA VIKINGS

Record: 6-6

One-Liner: Whether they get into the playoffs or not, the Vikings might have the best coaching staff in football east of San Francisco.

22. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

Record: 5-7

One-Liner: The present is a dark place in New Orleans, but the future is far, far darker…

23. LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

Record: 5-7

One-Liner: Eye-popping prediction: I’m looking forward to watching Kirk Cousins in Silver and Black in 2024…

24. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

Record: 5-7

One-Liner: Mike Evans is, well, he’s him.

25. CHICAGO BEARS

Record: 4-8

One-Liner: This team is better than they’re record; they just don’t know they are.

26. TENNESSEE TITANS

Record: 4-8

One-Liner: The Will Levis hype train has turned into an 1800s caboose in a museum.

27. ARIZONA CARDINALS

Record: 3-10

One-Liner: If they’re smart, Kyler Murray will be tossing the rock to Marvin Harrison, Jr. in 2024.

28. NEW YORK GIANTS

Record: 4-8

One-Liner: The Giants have the worst QB situation in the league heading into the offseason and it’s not even close.

29. WASHINGTON COMMANDERS

Record: 4-9

One-Liner: Expect a ton of changes to this roster and coaching staff this offseason.

30. NEW YORK JETS

Record: 4-8

One-Liner: Zach Wilson dropping the proverbial “old Steve Rogers” meme on the Jets offering him the starting job again is the smartest thing anyone has done in New York in a long time.

31. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Record: 2-10

One-Liner: Bye Bill.

32. CAROLINA PANTHERS

Record: 1-11

One-Liner: They shoulda drafted Stroud.
