NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Oh, lucky you. Someone decided to stay up late to rank the NFL.
Your Week 15 NFL Power Rankings…
🏈 TITAN UP all season long with the latest news and notes on the Tennessee Titans
32. New York Giants (2-11) – How putrid is this team? They have scored seven points or less four times within the last 13 games.
31. Las Vegas Raiders (2-11) – They have nine straight losses and only three of them have been by one score.
30. Tennessee Titans (3-10) – I wanted to rank them last after that inexplicable performance against the Jaguars. Yes, Will Levis needs to find his open targets, but Calvin Ridley needs to run up field. They are allowed to run from inside the two. They are allowed to not get their QB killed. Yes, the defense dominated, but they are allowed to get the stop with the game on the line, so yeah, there is a lot there to work on.
29. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-10) – Mac Jones is not great, but was good enough to beat the Titans. I think I just threw up in my mouth some.
28. New England Patriots (3-10) – After Drake Maye and Hunter Henry, tell me three players who play offense for New England.
27. New York Jets (3-10) – They are 1-9 in their last 10, with seven of those losses coming by one score. In years past, those are the games a team could count on Aaron Rodgers to find a way to win.
26. Carolina Panthers (3-10) – Is it me or is Dave Canales doing a good job? They have lost their last three, but to three playoff teams by six, three and three points. They have become much more competitive.
25. Cleveland Browns (3-10) – How are there this many teams with three wins or less?
24. Chicago Bears (4-9) – They have seven straight losses and their last four games are against four more playoff teams. Good times.
23. New Orleans Saints (5-8) – They have won three of their last four games, but somehow I don’t care.
22. Dallas Cowboys (5-8) – I thought the Titans were the only team that invented new ways to lose, but the ‘boys proved me wrong. They blocked a punt in the fourth quarter of a tie game and blocking that punt led to their defeat. You can’t make this up.
21. Indianapolis Colts (6-7) – If they can upset the Broncos, this lackluster bunch with a completion percentage below 50% could still find themselves winning 10 games with games against the Giants, Titans and Jags to finish the season.
20. Atlanta Falcons (6-7) – What has happened to Kirk Cousins? He leads the NFL with 15 interceptions.
19. Cincinnati Bengals (5-8) – Joe Burrow leads the NFL at 285 passing yards per game and 33 passing touchdowns. On a good team, he is an MVP candidate.
18. Arizona Cardinals (6-7) – The offense has dried up for the Cards. Kyler Murray has only four touchdown passes within the last five games.
17. San Francisco 49ers (6-7) – Do you think Kyle Shanahan has any interest in coaching the Bears? Asking for a friend.
16. Miami Dolphins (6-7) – Jonnu Smith has turned into an absolute monster! He has 61 receptions, 692 yards and five touchdowns and it feels like all of it has come in the last month!
15. Tampa Bay Bucs (7-6) – They are first place in the NFC South and eight wins might be enough to win the division.
14. Houston Texans (8-5) – They look broken. We will see what they got figured out during their bye week.
13. Los Angeles Rams (7-6) – They are 6-2 over their last eight games. With Nacua and Kupp healthy, the NFC West title is in reach.
12. Seattle Seahawks (8-5) – Jaxon Smith-Njigba has broken out in year two with 75 rec. for 911 yards and five touchdowns.
11. Washington Commanders (8-5) – On his fifth NFL team, Dante Fowler has had one of his best seasons with 8.5 sacks.
10. Denver Broncos (8-5) – On the positive side all 5 of their losses are to playoff teams, on the negative side only one of their wins is over a playoff team and that one is 7-6.
9. Los Angeles Chargers (8-5) – The Chargers are better than anyone at not beating themselves, they have the fewest giveaways in the NFL with 6 and their 74 penalties are among the fewest in the league.
8. Baltimore Ravens (8-5) – Derrick Henry is still averaging 5.9 yards per carry, but has just two 100 yard games in his last six.
7. Pittsburgh Steelers (10-3) – I think Andy Reid is the best coach in the game. I love the job Sean McVay does, but Mike Tomlin might be number two.
6. Green Bay Packers (9-4) – All four losses are to the Lions, Vikings and Eagles. They are clearly number four in the NFC, but not far off.

5. Minnesota Vikings (12-2) – Sam Darnold has 28 touchdown passes. I know they drafted JJ McCarthy, but it’s kind of hard to turn the page on this kind of season.
4. Buffalo Bills (10-3) – After spotting the Rams a big lead, Josh Allen willed them back into that one. He had six total touchdowns. To me, Allen is the MVP right now.
3. Kansas City Chiefs (12-1) – Their last four wins have been by three points or less. Living on the edge will get them eventually.
2. Philadelphia Eagles (11-2) – Saquan Barkley is the Offensive Player of the Year with 1890 total yards and 15 total touchdowns.
1. Detroit Lions (12-1) – They showed their metal in that win over the Packers. They’re the most complete offense in the NFL.
