NFL Power Rankings Week 15: 49ers, Ravens, Cowboys in top 3, NFC South tightly packed after Falcons loss to Bucs

The Cowboys-Eagles rivalry as reached a peak, which is good for football. Dak Prescott and Dallas struck big in a lopsided victory over Philly that put them atop the NFC East. They’ve both got to deal with the 49ers at some point, and that won’t be fun for anyone with the way San Francisco is playing.

We saw a bunch of upsets from lower-ranked teams, with the Giants, Jets, Patriots, Bears and Titans all willing big games. It’s cliche, but the NFL is a week-to-week league, man. Any given Sunday (or Thursday or Monday or Saturday after college football season), as they say.

The NFC South will he hotly contested, with the Falcons, Bucs and Saints still in it. They’re close to each other in these Week 15 NFL power rankings, as you’d expect. Let’s take a look at how the whole league breaks down:

John Harbaugh was a former special teams coordinator. You know he LOVED winning a game with a punt return for a touchdown. With a backup returner, no less.

We talk about Dak a lot in this space. How about Brandon Aubrey? Great story and nails from distance.

Joe Flacco might earn comeback player of the year with but a few games played. Gotta make the playoffs, though.
(8-5)

Jaguars_table
Jacksonville Jaguars
AFC South leaders are floundering a bit. Can they rebound at least enough to win the division (and get folks healthy)?

Houston Texans
Texans playing without C.J. Stroud proves his immense value.
(7-6)

All this talk about Mike Tomlin leaving the Steelers is insane. Great coach. All-timer.

(6-7)
