A wild Monday night doubleheader finished with a pair of upsets, our seventh and eighth upsets of a wild NFL weekend.

That shook up the NFL Power Rankings for Week 15 in a huge way, with the Dolphins and Packers each tumbling four or five spots and Tommy DeVito and the mighty Giants rising with their stunning three-game winning streak. The simultaneous games were eerily similar throughout, and the favorites led early but never looked comfortable, leaving the door cracked just enough for two wild comeback finishes late.

With just four weeks left, 24 of 32 teams are within one game of the playoffs. The AFC has a six-way 7-6 tie for the final two wildcard spots, and the NFC has a five-way 6-7 tie for its final spot.

All the upsets meant that seven of the top 10 teams in the Power Rankings lost. The top three survived, but the Dolphins (No. 4), Eagles (5), Chiefs (6), Lions (7), Texans (8), Jaguars (9), and Packers (10) all took it on the chin.

Is the Power Rankings curse back? Who in the world is the fourth-best team in the NFL after all that mess? We know the three best teams now — hi, Cowboys! — but the rest is up for grabs.

These are Action Network's Week 15 NFL Power Rankings.

TIER I — NUMBER ONE UNTIL YOU BEAT US

1. San Francisco 49ers (Last week ranking: 1)

A home game against Drew Lock was never going to be much of a test, but the 49ers' offense just keeps on smashing. San Francisco piled up 527 yards of offense, over 200 more than the Seahawks, and finished the game with an absurd 9.9 yards per play. That's a first down every single play! And it was even higher at 11.7 YPP until two garbage-time drives late!

Christian McCaffrey ran 16 times for 145 yards. Deebo Samuel caught another seven passes for 149. Brandon Aiyuk added 126 yards himself. And at the center of it all was our MVP co-favorite, Brock Purdy, who absolutely looked the part. Purdy moved the pocket, keeping plays alive, and repeatedly shredded passes down field, ripping through the defense and hitting his YAC machines in stride.

Purdy finished with 386 yards and two scores. He averaged 13.6 YPA and now ranks second in the NFL in passing touchdowns — hope you tailed that at +6000 before the season. What's not to like?

I'm running out of ways to tell you there's still value on San Francisco to win the 1-seed (-175, DraftKings), get to the Super Bowl (+125, FanDuel) and win the whole thing (+275, bet365). Christmas night against Baltimore looms large as a potential Super Bowl preview.



TIER II — LOOK WHO FINALLY BEAT SOMEONE REAL

2. Dallas Cowboys (3)

The Cowboys finally beat a "real team" on Sunday night and did it in dominant fashion, walloping the Eagles 33-13.

I'm not sure which side of the ball was more impressive. The defense forced three turnovers in key moments, with the only Philadelphia touchdown coming by its defense. The offense opened the game touchdown, field goal, touchdown, touchdown in the first half to wrangle control immediately.

Dak Prescott continues to read the field confidently, and the Cowboys even ran the ball relatively well.

And unlike its previous matchup, this time Dallas won the key plays. The defense held the Eagles to -0.27 EPA per play on early downs and kept Philly out of the red zone for all but two plays, both of them negative yards. The offense was a perfect 3-for-3 in the red zone and went 9-of-16 on third downs. It was a dominant, comprehensive victory and proved Dallas belongs near the top of the Power Rankings.

The Cowboys are now tied for the NFC East at 10-3, but the Eagles have a soft schedule and control their destiny. Even so, FTN has Dallas at 37.0% to win the division given the strength of the Cowboys and relative weakness of the Eagles.

That means there's still some value on Dallas at +280 (DraftKings) in the division, and far more importantly, it means there's a better than 1-in-3 chance that the Cowboys claim a top-two seed, paving the way for a Prescott MVP and a serious playoff run — maybe even all the way to the Super Bowl.

3. Baltimore Ravens (2)

The Ravens came oh so close to joining the rest of the top 10 as upset losers before Tylan Wallace saved the day in overtime with a walk-off punt return touchdown — the fourth in NFL history and our second already this season.

That wrapped an exciting 37-31 game featuring 859 combined yards in a game that was supposed to be weather impacted and low scoring. That's good news for the Ravens' offense, with another full-on Lamar Jackson show, but it wasn't such a good day for Baltimore's defense.

Nevertheless, it was a huge save for the Ravens, who watched the other three AFC division leaders lose this weekend and now sit alone as clear favorites for the 1-seed (-120, bet365). The New York Times has Baltimore at 54%, while FTN has them at 62%, even with a brutal closing schedule.

The bigger futures value continues to be on AFC (+260, PointsBet) and Super Bowl (+600, FanDuel) futures since it looks increasingly likely that the AFC road to the Super Bowl comes through Baltimore, a team setup well to play in ugly weather. FTN makes the Ravens roughly a coin flip to make the Super Bowl, so there's still time to add a ticket if you haven't yet.



TIER III — AN EMPTY TIER AND A HUGE GAP IN THE FIELD

No, there are no teams in Tier III.

That's how clear it is at this point who the top three teams are, and I suppose that'll happen when teams 4-through-10 all lose on the same weekend.

It should be notable that there's two NFC teams at the top but just one in the AFC, and it should also be notable how much separation there is at the top. Normally at this stage of the season, we're looking for underdogs. It's starting to feel this year like the best value is actually just those teams at the top.

So after all the carnage after these three teams, who ended up ranked fourth?



TIER IV — OKAY, SO WHO IS FOURTH BEST?

4. Cleveland Browns (14)

If we were ranking just on resumes like college football, I honestly think the Browns have the best case for No. 4.

Remarkably, the Browns have now won games with four different starting quarterbacks. Each of them has at least one genuinely good win, too. Deshaun Watson beat the Bengals and Ravens. Dorian Thompson-Robinson beat the Steelers. P.J. Walker beat the 49ers and Colts. And now Joe Flacco beat the Jaguars.

Flacco wasn't bad, either! He threw 45 times and racked up 311 yards and three scores in a goofy game featuring seven turnovers. The Browns out-gained the Jaguars by nearly 100 yards but also turned it over on back-to-back plays and gifted Jacksonville two TDs.

Still, this was a huge win for the Browns, who are now in pole position for a playoff spot, something like 85% to make the postseason. Their over 10.5 looks intriguing at +150 (DraftKings) with a soft schedule, and I still think Flacco is price way too long for Comeback Player of the Year at +6000 (DraftKings).

5. Buffalo Bills (12)

When I asked Twitter its pick for the fifth team (before the Dolphins loss) in the Power Rankings, I was surprised to see that the Bills were the consensus choice. But should we really be surprised?

The Bills went to Arrowhead, went up 14-0 on the defending champs, and held on late to defeat the Chiefs. Josh Allen did just enough on his game-winning drive, and the much-maligned Bills defense did just enough itself to stop Patrick Mahomes from matching. For once, the Bills won a key close game.

You could make a real argument that Buffalo is the best team in the AFC right now. Is there any other team you'd favor on a neutral field? Maybe, but not by much.

That makes it all the crazier that a team this good is still far from certain to make the playoffs. In fact, NYT has them effectively a coin flip, reflecting the price at the books where BetRivers has Buffalo -110 to make or miss both ways. FTN still has Buffalo just 35.5% to make the postseason.

One path that suddenly looks far more realistic: winning the AFC East and securing a home game. Miami's loss suddenly makes that path viable, and if the Bills win out and Miami loses once more before the finale, the Week 18 rematch between those teams is for the division.

Hope you grabbed that +1700 Bills division ticket last week when we recommended it — Buffalo is +310 now (FanDuel), and with all the Bills steam, there's actually more value on them missing the playoffs than making now.

6. Philadelphia Eagles (5)

The Eagles got absolutely blasted a second straight week by the two teams atop these Power Rankings, and it's well past time to panic for Philadelphia fans.

Or is it? You can make a reasonable case that the Eagles should still be the pick at No. 4, a testament to both how many wins the team compiled before the last two weeks and how open this season is.

Philadelphia still controls its destiny in the division and still has a very real chance at the NFC 1-seed, plus a Charmin-soft schedule to end the season.

The Eagles got demolished in two pivotal battles, but Philadelphia can still win the war.

Is Now the Time for the Eagles and Chiefs to Panic? Image

7. Kansas City Chiefs (6)

Second verse, same as the first for the Chiefs in comparison to the Eagles.

Kansas City gave away another one and has lost four of six, and things certainly aren't going that well for the defending Super Bowl champs. It's past time to panic in Kansas City too, but the Chiefs still have a terrific defense and they still have Patrick Mahomes.

The surprise Miami loss means Kansas City still has a pretty good shot at the AFC 2-seed too. Maybe Mahomes won't have to play that playoff road game just yet after all.



TIER V — FRAUD WATCH

8. Miami Dolphins (4)

Well, the Dolphins were supposed to have been safely in that top-four tier of upper-echelon teams, and then Monday night happened.

It was a goofy, wonky game, and that happens in the NFL sometimes. Miami shouldn't have blown a 14-point lead with under three minutes left, but it also never should've had that lead in the first place if not for two Titans fumbles inside the final six minutes that set the Dolphins up for freebie TDs inside the red zone.

The Dolphins' offense was MIA with four of its five offensive line starters missing, and that was the root of the problem earlier this season when the offense stalled too.

It also seems to have very few ideas in short-yardage situations and that came back to haunt Miami several times Monday night both in the red zone and late in the game as the Dolphins failed to run out the clock, then looked disastrous trying to come back.

The good and bad news for Miami is that it still has a very difficult schedule remaining. The pesky Jets defense is up next, and then its Cowboys-Ravens-Bills to close the season.

That means there's still a chance for Tua Tagovailoa to get himself back into the MVP race and for the Dolphins to prove they can actually beat a top team, but it also means there's still a chance the Dolphins are fraudulent and will completely fall apart with this brutal closing stretch.

This Titans game was an absolute gimme, a team 0-7 away from home. No team in NFL history had ever been up 14 with under three minutes and lost in regulation before Miami did it. This was a hugely damaging loss for Miami, dropping them from almost 50% at the AFC 1-seed to under 25%. Suddenly, the division is back up for grabs and the playoffs aren't even a lock.

Miami is officially on Fraud Watch.

9. Detroit Lions (7)

Jared Goff had another miserable game outdoors on the road, and that's becoming a real problem since these losses are effectively ensuring the Lions will have to hit the road for at least two playoff games to have any chance at the Super Bowl. Are there even any Super Bowl hopes left, though? They may be dwindling.

The Lions fought back from an early 10-0 deficit to lead at the half, but here are the drives after halftime: three and out, three and out, three and out, two plays and a fumble, four plays and a turnover on downs, 11 plays for 37 yards and a turnover on downs, five plays and an interception. Against the Bears. Woof.

Detroit is clearly outside the NFC's top three, just 3-2 over its last five games with wins by three, five, and five and every one of those games against teams that were below .500 when the Lions played them.

Detroit is no longer a division lock either, though the surprise Packers loss sure helped.

10. Los Angeles Rams (11)

It's a heck of a thing when a 6-7 team can lose a game and rise into the top 10 of the Power Rankings, but the Rams' overtime loss to the Ravens was one of the most impressive losses of the season.

LA's offense is absolutely cooking right now. Kyren Williams and Cooper Kupp both went over 100 yards against a great Ravens defense, and Matthew Stafford was dealing with three scores and almost 300 yards. The Rams more than held their own on the road in bad weather, and this offense is playing as well as almost any in the league right now. They've scored 37, 36 and 31 points the last three weeks, with two of those three games against the league's top-two DVOA defenses.

That's why it's so devastating that the Rams' special teams failed them yet again. The unit has consistently been an overlooked disaster under Sean McVay and again ranks dead-last and cost LA a signature win.

The Rams are the NFC's team nobody wants to play, but this loss means there's still a pretty good chance no one will have to.

Can the Rams win out? Games against the Commanders, Saints and Giants certainly look winnable enough the way this offense is rolling, but that Week 18 showdown in San Francisco looms large. McVay has consistently struggled against Kyle Shanahan, and the Rams might need to win out to make the postseason. Could the Niners be resting guys by then? Would they try to knock McVay's guys out anyway?

Sadly, there's still more value on the Rams to miss the postseason than make it. We'll just have to bet them week to week. This offense is the real deal.

11. Jacksonville Jaguars (9)

Trevor Lawrence appears to be indestructible, playing and moving well six days after a bad ankle sprain, though he made a ton of mistakes, taking four sacks and throwing three interceptions. Lawrence has been sloppy in wet conditions previously, so this is becoming a worrisome pattern for a guy that plays in Florida.

Jacksonville went down 14-0 but used its usual turnover luck to hang around in a game that featured TD drives of 12, 22, 25 and 48 yards. The Jaguars' defense continues to prove a bit leaky, but Jacksonville really caught a break Sunday when the Colts and Texans matched their loss.

The Jags are still hefty division favorites but have plenty of work to do with the Ravens and a trip to Tampa up next.



TIER VI — BATTLING FOR THOSE WILDCARD SPOTS

12. Cincinnati Bengals (19)

Apparently rumors of Cincinnati's demise were greatly exaggerated.

I left the Bengals for dead after the Joe Burrow injury — most of us did — but Jake Browning has really done a great job these last two weeks. He's not Burrow, and but he's getting the ball out quickly to Cincinnati's talented playmakers and letting them do the work. The Bengals had three pass plays of 45+ yards.

The numbers get uglier on late downs when the defense knows it can cue in on the pass, but when you average 6.8 yards a play like the Bengals did Sunday against a quality Colts defense, you don't have to worry about late downs much.

Cincinnati is suddenly right back in this at 7-6, but it doesn't get any easier with the Vikings, Steelers, Chiefs, and Browns still left on the schedule.

13. Green Bay Packers (10)

The Packers' luck continued to run hot as it has all season in our Luck rankings. Green Bay lucked into a missed field goal by the Giants, recovered a muffed punt inside the red zone, and turned a breakaway Saquon Barkley near-clinching run into an oops-I-tripped fumble and return.

That Barkley fumble turned into another big drive late as Jordan Love overcame a lackluster game to give his team the lead. But the Packers simply made too many mistakes on Monday night. They went back to the WR reverse for the umpteenth time and failed again on a two-point conversion that ended up costing them overtime, and they repeatedly failed to convert those luck opportunities into a win.

This is a pretty unforgivable performance for a defense that had been trending up. The Giants had a 59% Success Rate on early downs (98th percentile) and Green Bay let Tommy DeVito march right down the field for the game-winning field goal.

The Packers are still in solid shape to make the postseason with a soft closing schedule, but they were near certain with a win. Now the division is shot and Green Bay is something of a coin flip, just like last season.

14. Denver Broncos (17)

The Broncos finally got their first road division win since October 2019 and did so in typical dominant without actually feeling dominant fashion. The stats say the Broncos were slightly better than the Chargers, a team playing with a backup quarterback that went 0-for-12 on third downs and 1-of-6 on fourth downs, so how impressed should we really be?

Denver has won six of its last seven and just keeps finding ways to win. The Broncos are only one game back in the division now, and as gross as it feels to trust this team, the numbers say this is the squad to back in the futures market right now.

The Broncos are +134 to make the playoffs (FanDuel), an implied 42.7% versus just over a coin flip at both FTN and NYT. You can also bet Denver's over 9.5 win total at +146 there.

The Broncos need three wins to cash and finish the season against the Lions, Patriots, Chargers and Raiders — with Detroit fading quickly and the other three teams playing backup QBs. There's even a touch of value in the division (+1100, bet365) if you really believe in the Broncos. The schedule is certainly lining up.

15. Houston Texans (8)

Dearest Mother,

I write with a most troubling update.

The waters are beginning to rise very rapidly here at Texans Island. It all happened so fast.

I just don't know how many more injuries we can sustain.

I've been here so long. I'm starting to lose hope. Is this how it all ends?

Cordially,

Brandon

16. Minnesota Vikings (13)

Well, that was certainly a game of professional football.

The Vikings won 3-0 in the lowest-scoring indoor game in NFL history. Justin Jefferson returned, then left just as quickly, and Minnesota also lost RB Alexander Mattison and RT Brian O'Neill.

They also came out of the bye week with Josh Dobbs reaffirmed as the starter, then benched him three quarters later for Nick Mullens who — to his credit — was far better than Dobbs and got the team into position for its one score.

What in the world do you make of a game like this? This Brian Flores defense continues to do incredible things. It forced three turnovers and held the Raiders to 173 yards before a final desperation play, but it also appears to be making a playoff push with Mullens and Dobbs in the world's saddest starting QB battle between two guys who barely look fit for an NFL roster.

Since you're asking: the numbers do show some value on Minnesota to win the NFC North at +750 (PointsBet).



TIER VII — WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?

17. Chicago Bears (25)

Prepare yourself for a wild sentence: the Chicago Bears won an actual football game against a good team because they had the better passer.

Justin Fields won the game with his arm for once, instead of his legs, an efficient day that was especially good on late downs at 0.74 EPA per pass play.

D.J. Moore had a big game too, and the Bears' defense was outstanding, continuing to show huge improvement since the Montez Sweat trade. Chicago actually went 0-for-3 in the red zone, or the 15-point margin of victory would've been even bigger.

Ready for another wild thought? The Bears are 5-8 with games left against the Browns, Cardinals, Falcons and Packers. If they win out, NYT gives Chicago over a 50/50 shot of making the playoffs. The Bears are +1400 to make the postseason at BetMGM.

18. New York Jets (26)

Well, that was unexpected.

Not the Jets shutting down the Texans. This defense is still elite, the weather was bad and C.J. Stroud got hurt. But how did Zach Wilson go from not even being willing to play to dropping 301 yards in bad weather and the Jets compiling over 200 more yards than a good Texans offense?

New York won 30-6 against a presumed playoff team, and the win was every bit as dominant as the scoreline would indicate, especially since it was 0-0 at halftime after an ugly first half featuring lots of weather and 11 punts.

19. Indianapolis Colts (15)

Pretty disastrous loss for the Colts, not just losing a key head-to-head tiebreak and failing to make up ground on a day the rest of the division lost, but the way Indianapolis lost to the Bengals has to be concerning.

The Colts' defense got carved up by a backup QB with one career start, and the rushing attack was invisible, with Zack Moss running 13 times for 28 yards against a bad run defense.

Indianapolis opened a slight favorite in Cincinnati and closed a slight dog. It has three more coin-flippy, playoff-type games left against the Steelers, Falcons and Texans. Not sure I see it with this team, but they'll have their say.

20. Seattle Seahawks (18)

The Seahawks never stood much of a chance without Geno Smith in San Francisco, so credit for covering the closing line and keeping it respectable at 28-16.

The Seahawks have only three wins by more than one score, against the Giants, Cardinals and Panthers. The only two good wins came against the Browns with P.J. Walker and in overtime over the Lions in a game Seattle should've lost. The Seahawks just might not be very good.

Seattle has lost four in a row now, and it doesn't get a whole lot easier with Eagles, at Titans and Steelers up next.

The game this Monday night against Philadelphia might be for the season.

21. New York Giants (29)

Ladies and gentlemen, Tommy Cutlets!

Against all odds, Tommy DeVito and the Giants have won three straight games. DeVito was nearly perfect in the second half and did a very impressive Daniel Jones impression, an efficient 17-of-21 as a passer and adding 10 runs for 71 yards. Brian Daboll has done a great job maximizing another QB's legs, and the Giants are still alive, at least a little, for the playoffs.

Daboll has proven to be a remarkable floor raiser. Now the Giants need to see what he can do with the ceiling.



TIER VIII — THE ALMIGHTY NFC SOUTH

22. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (22)

Somehow, the Bucs would host a playoff game if the season ended today, and Tampa Bay has a real chance to do so in back-to-back years with a sub-.500 record. You can decide if that's impressive or embarrassing.

Baker Mayfield wasn't great, completing fewer than half of his passes against a bad secondary, but he led the game-winning TD drive late and that's what counts. The game had a strange flow, with 29 points and 380 yards the first 46 minutes, then 24 points and 344 yards over the final 14. RIP to the under.

It was the first of eight NFC South division games to hit 40 points this season. The Bucs are clear division favorites now, 48% to win it at NYT and 43% at TFN, providing value on the +185 division odds, implied 35% at DraftKings.

23. Atlanta Falcons (21)

On the one hand, Desmond Ridder threw 40 times for 347 yards and a score, and he also ran in a touchdown and even remembered to bring the ball with him this time.

On the other hand, Ridder also threw a crippling interception early that was effectively a pick-6, and he fumbled twice and got sacked three times. The Falcons also missed two field goals and made one more from the 2-yard line in a game they lost by four.

Atlanta would've been a pretty sizable division favorite with a win it should've had. Instead, the Falcons are now third most likely. What a giveaway.

24. New Orleans Saints (23)

It's honestly hard to look less impressive in a 28-6 victory over a one-win team. New Orleans got a blocked punt touchdown and still led only 14-6 in the fourth quarter, allowing the mighty Panthers into scoring position twice before tacking on a couple short-field TDs to put the game away.

New Orleans finished with 207 yards. Like, not in a half. Not from Derek Carr. The Saints had 207 total yards. Carr was bad and worse on late downs at -1.14 EPA per pass. The Saints are not good.

And yet, they're tied for the NFC South lead.

25. Los Angeles Chargers (20)

Honestly, doesn't it just feel like the Chargers belong in the NFC South with these other teams?

SMH, they'd probably still find a way to blow it and miss the playoffs.



TIER IX — THEIR SEASON'S OVER, BUT THEY CAN RUIN YOURS

26. Tennessee Titans (27)

Monday's 28-27 Titans win felt more about the Dolphins than it did Tennessee, but let's give the Titans some flowers too.

Derrick Henry did almost nothing outside of two touchdown runs, running 17 times for 34 yards, but the Titans defense stepped up and played brilliantly and Will Levis may have been the best player on the field.

Levis threw an awful pick-6 early but had quite a response, finishing with 327 yards and a score and leading three separate two-minute drills for scores against a really good defense. That's 18 points in a one-point win, with Levis ripping passes through the secondary and repeatedly finding DeAndre Hopkins for huge plays down the field en route to 124 yards.

The win will ultimately mean very little for Tennessee this season, but those signs from Levis are everything. That's all the team is playing for to finish out the season, and if Levis keeps playing like this, the Dolphins won't be Tennessee's last upset victim.

27. Arizona Cardinals (28)

The Cards didn't play this week, but I still recommend their under 4.5 win total at -150 (FanDuel).

Unless Arizona beats the Eagles or 49ers, they'd have to win at Chicago or in Week 18 against Seattle, while they're incentivized to lose and lock in a top three pick.

28. Las Vegas Raiders (24)

The Raiders tallied 202 yards and eight first downs so let's talk about A.J. Cole and Ryan Wright instead.

That's the two most overworked punters on the planet after a game featuring 833 yards of punts — almost half a mile of kicking. The most shameful punt of all was the final one from Minnesota placekicker Greg Joseph, a pathetic 14-yard pooch punt from the Raiders 28 with 18 seconds left, that was subsequently returned for 17 yards, a loss of three.

I'd say the Vikings would've literally been better off kneeling, but at least that play took 11 seconds off the clock in this God forsaken game.

29. Washington Commanders (31)

Yet again, Washington didn't show up for a game this week.

At least this time, it's because the Commanders were on a bye.



TIER X — THE CELLAR DWELLERS

30. New England Patriots (32)

Well, would you like at that.

Bailey Zappe actually looked like a real quarterback at times, New England completed its first 30-air-yard pass of the season (0-for-18 before Thursday night, per Next Gen Stats), the game hit the historically low over before halftime, and Bill Belichick moved to within 27 wins of the all-time coaching record. Without question, the high point of the season for the Patriots.

Is this heaven? No. This is New England.

31. Carolina Panthers (30)

The Panthers actually competed with the Saints, and the defense was terrific, but Bryce Young continues to be mystifyingly terrible. He completed 13-of-36 passes for 137 yards, somehow turning a 13.6 ADOT into an awful 3.8 YPA, combining a -0.58 EPA per play with a -21.2 CPOE.

That's a lot of fancy acronyms and advanced stats, and they all tell the same story: Young is a really bad NFL quarterback right now.

32. Pittsburgh Steelers (16)

Two weeks ago, the Steelers made it all the way to 9th in the Power Rankings.

Since then, Pittsburgh became the first team in NFL history to lose back-to-back games against teams at least eight games below .500, losing in embarrassing fashion to both the Cardinals and the Patriots.

You do that, you get the bottom spot in the Power Rankings for the week.

Sorry, I don't make the rules.
