Week 15 of the 2025 NFL season is now approaching. The Pittsburgh Steelers, Buffalo Bills, and Jacksonville Jaguars all recorded significant wins to boost their playoff chances, while the Indianapolis Colts’ struggles continue. In the NFC, the Green Bay Packers took over the lead in the NFC North with a late home win against the Chicago Bears.

These games, among others, led to movement in our PFSN power rankings this week compared to last. Here’s how the NFL is shaping up entering Week 14, according to our metrics system.

Please note that these rankings are decided entirely by PFSN’s analytical model, rather than the author’s opinion of the teams.

32) Las Vegas Raiders

Last Week’s Ranking: 31
Eliminated from playoff contention
Chance for 1st overall pick: 31.2%

The Las Vegas Raiders lost to the Denver Broncos, extending their losing streak to seven games. In six of these games, they scored 17 points or fewer. Pete Carroll’s return to the NFL has not been triumphant in year one with the Raiders.

Las Vegas plays road games against the Philadelphia Eagles and Houston Texans over the next two weeks. They finish against the New York Giants and the Kansas City Chiefs, who beat the Raiders 31-0 in Week 7.

31) Tennessee Titans

Last Week’s Ranking: 32
Eliminated from playoff contention
Chance for 1st overall pick: 16.1%

Tony Pollard rushed for 161 yards and two touchdowns in the Tennessee Titans’ 31-29 win over the Cleveland Browns.  Cam Ward, who completed 14 of 28 attempts for 117 yards and two touchdowns, was outdueled by Shedeur Sanders, who passed for 364 yards and three touchdowns.

The Titans had a season high with 31 points; their previous high was 24, and they have only scored 20 points or more five times this season. Tennessee will finish with three of the last four games against teams in playoff contention: the San Francisco 49ers, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

30) New York Jets

Last Week’s Ranking: 28
Eliminated from playoff contention

The New York Jets allowed 21 points in the first quarter in a 34-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Rookie quarterback Brady Cook made his NFL debut after Tyrod Taylor left with an injury. Cook, who played at Missouri, threw two interceptions.

New York has a tough finish to the season with games against the Jacksonville Jaguars, New Orleans Saints, New England Patriots, and Buffalo Bills.

29) New Orleans Saints

Last Week’s Ranking: 30
Eliminated from playoff contention
Chance for 1st overall pick: 6.1%

The New Orleans Saints had one of the biggest upsets of the season with a road win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tyler Shough continues to show signs that he could be a future starter for the Saints. He made big throws to extend drives, and his 13-yard rushing touchdown with under nine minutes left gave the Saints the lead for good.

New Orleans has a chance to finish the season strong with games against the Carolina Panthers, New York Jets, Tennessee Titans, and Atlanta Falcons.

28) New York Giants

Last Week’s Ranking: 29
Eliminated from playoff contention
Chance for 1st overall pick: 22.8%

The New York Giants had a bye in Week 14. New York went into the bye on a seven-game losing streak. The Giants have led in the fourth quarter in four of the seven games. New York plays the Washington Commanders, who are on an eight-game losing streak, next week.

Jaxson Dart had his worst PFSN Quarterback Impact score (67.0, D+) against the New England Patriots in Week 13. Dart had a QBi that ranked in the top ten in the league for the week in four of his eight starts.

27) Cleveland Browns

Last Week’s Ranking: 27
Eliminated from playoff contention

The Cleveland Browns lost 31-29 to the Tennessee Titans, but did see a strong performance from rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who passed for 364 yards and three touchdowns along with a rushing score.

Sanders will get tested in the final four weeks with games against the Chicago Bears, Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Cincinnati Bengals.

26) Arizona Cardinals

Last Week’s Ranking: 26
Eliminated from playoff contention

The Arizona Cardinals didn’t have much success stopping the Los Angeles Rams’ offense in Week 14. The Rams scored 45 points to become the third Cardinals opponent in the last five games to score over 40.

After a 2-0 start, Arizona has lost ten of the next eleven games, and a once-promising season has turned into another empty year. All Arizona can do is play out the remainder of the schedule with nothing to play for, finishing with the Texans, Falcons, Bengals, and Rams.

25) Washington Commanders

Last Week’s Ranking: 23
Eliminated from playoff contention

Jayden Daniels returned to start for the Washington Commanders after missing three games with an elbow injury. His return wasn’t enough to give the Commanders their first win since the first week of October. Washington was blown out on the road by the Minnesota Vikings to extend the losing streak to eight games.

The Commanders will have a chance to snap their losing streak against the Giants, who are on a seven-game losing streak. Washington will conclude its season with two games against the Philadelphia Eagles and a home game against the Dallas Cowboys.

24) Carolina Panthers

Last Week’s Ranking: 24
Playoff Odds: 48.3%

The Carolina Panthers had a bye in Week 14. The Panthers are 6-1 in one-score games, and their last six wins were by a combined 22 points.

The Panthers control their own destiny to win the NFC South because two of the team’s final four games are against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Carolina plays in New Orleans in Week 15 and hosts the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17.

23) Atlanta Falcons

Last Week’s Ranking: 21
Eliminated from playoff contention

The Atlanta Falcons were eliminated from playoff contention after being outscored 31-3 in the second half against the Seattle Seahawks. The Falcons entered the week with only a 0.3% chance to make the postseason, but the 37-9 loss made it official.

Atlanta finishes the season with road games in Tampa Bay and Arizona over the next two weeks, followed by home games against the Rams and Saints.

22) Baltimore Ravens

Last Week’s Ranking: 18
Playoff Odds: 15.6%

The Baltimore Ravens lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers, marking their second straight loss and dimming their playoff hopes. Lamar Jackson had a rushing and passing touchdown in the same game for the first time since Week 1.

Batlimpre has allowed 29.5 points per game in the last two games after allowing 13.4 points per game during its five-game winning streak. The Ravens will play in Cincinnati in Week 15 and host the New England Patriots in Week 16. Baltimore finishes the regular season with games in Green Bay and Pittsburgh.

21) Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Last Week’s Ranking: 20
Playoff Odds: 52.1%

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were upset. 24-20, by the New Orleans Saints in a rainy home game. The Buccaneers turned the ball over on downs four times inside the Saints’ 40-yard line and had to settle for a field goal on their next-to-last possession.

The Buccaneers are still in control of their own destiny in the NFC South. They have a quick turnaround for a Thursday night home game against the Atlanta Falcons. Tampa Bay will face the Panthers in Weeks 16 and 18, with the season finale scheduled as a home game. In Week 17, the Buccaneers will make a short trip to Miami to take on the Dolphins.

20) Miami Dolphins

Last Week’s Ranking: 25
Playoff Odds: 1.4%

The Miami Dolphins scored touchdowns on their first three possessions as they cruised to a victory over the New York Jets. Tua Tagovailoa, who is now 7-0 against the Jets as a starter, opened the scoring with a touchdown pass to Jaylen Waddle.

Miami has won four straight games and has quietly moved onto the fringe of the playoff picture with four games left. The Dolphins still have home games against the Cincinnati Bengals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as well as visits to the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots.

19) Cincinnati Bengals

Last Week’s Ranking: 17
Playoff Odds: 2.5%

The Cincinnati Bengals had a 10-point fourth quarter against the Buffalo Bills and appeared on their way for the second straight game with Joe Burrow back in the lineup. Burrow threw four touchdowns in snowy Buffalo, but his two fourth quarter interceptions fueled the Bills’ 39-34 comeback win.

The Bengals will need to win out and get a lot of help to win the AFC North. They will play the Baltimore Ravens for the second time in three weeks. Cincinnati won in Baltimore, 32-14, on Thanksgiving night in Burrow’s first game back. After the Ravens, the Bengals will play the Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals, and Cleveland Browns in the final three games.

18) Minnesota Vikings

Last Week’s Ranking: 22
Playoff Odds: 0.1%

The Minnesota Vikings efficiently handled the Washington Commanders to snap a four-game losing streak. J.J. McCarthy threw a career-high three touchdown passes in the 31-0 win in Week 14. In the final four games, the Vikings can continue to give McCarthy a chance to develop as an NFL starter.

Minnesota will travel to play the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants. In the final two games, the Vikings will host the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, where they could play the role of spoiler against their  NFC North rivals.

17) Pittsburgh Steelers

Last Week’s Ranking: 19
Playoff Odds: 82.2%

The Pittsburgh Steelers headed into Week 14 against the Baltimore Ravens having lost five of their last seven games. The lead Pittsburgh built up in the AFC North when Lamar Jackson was out with a hamstring injury disappeared.

— Pittsburgh Steelers (@steelers) December 7, 2025

Aaron Rodgers passed for 284 yards and a touchdown in the 27-22 win in Baltimore to put the Steelers back into sole possession of first place in the AFC North. Pittsburgh will host Miami next week before playing the Detroit Lions and the Cleveland Browns, concluding the regular season at home against the Ravens.

16) Indianapolis Colts

Last Week’s Ranking: 4
Playoff Odds: 50.1%

The Indianapolis Colts’ dream season has officially become a nightmare after a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, extending their losing streak to three. The Colts have dropped behind the Jaguars in the AFC South. Indianapolis plays road games against the Seattle Seahawks and Houston Texans, with home games against the San Francisco 49ers and Jaguars.

Daniel Jones was the top quarterback in the PFSN Quarterback Impact rankings (QBi) for several weeks. Jones, who was playing through a fractured fibula in his left leg, was forced out of the game against the Jaguars with an Achilles injury. Rookie Riley Leonard took over at quarterback; it remains to be seen if he will be the starter in the future if Jones can’t play.

15) Dallas Cowboys

Last Week’s Ranking: 15
Playoff Odds: 8.1%

The Dallas Cowboys couldn’t keep up on the scoreboard with the Detroit Lions in a 44-30 loss on Thursday night. The Cowboys’ three-game win streak was snapped, and CeeDee Lamb left the game with a concussion. George Pickens had five catches for 37 yards in his least productive game since Week 1.

The Cowboys will host the Vikings and the Los Angeles Chargers in their next two games, finishing on the road against the Commanders and Giants. Dallas will likely need to win out to reach 10-6-1 and receive help to make the postseason.

14) Los Angeles Chargers

Last Week’s Ranking: 16
Playoff Odds: 65.6%

Check back for the Los Angeles Chargers’ updated ranking after Monday Night Football.

13) San Francisco 49ers

Last Week’s Ranking: 14
Playoff Odds: 87.5%

The San Francisco 49ers had a bye in Week 14. The 49ers are on their second three-game win streak of the season. The team’s winning streak started with the return of Brock Pudy. After winning the first three games of the season, San Francisco alternated wins and losses for the next eight weeks.

The 49ers will have a soft opening to the end of their season with a home game against the Titans. The final three games are against the Colts, Bears, and Seahawks. The playoffs aren’t a given with the Detroit Lions one game back in the standings for the last spot.

12) Chicago Bears

Last Week’s Ranking: 13
Playoff Odds: 75.3%

The Chicago Bears almost pulled off back-to-back road wins in Philadelphia and Green Bay, but they fell to the Packers 28-21. Down seven late in the fourth quarter, Caleb Williams threw an interception in the end zone to end the Bears’ chances.

After a home game against the Browns next week, Chicago will have to earn its way into the postseason, with the Packers, 49ers, and Lions remaining on its schedule.

11) Philadelphia Eagles

Last Week’s Ranking: 11
Playoff Odds: 93.7%

Check back for the Philadelphia Eagles’ updated ranking after Monday Night Football.

10) Kansas City Chiefs

Last Week’s Ranking: 8
Playoff Odds: 8.1%

The Kansas City Chiefs played like a desperate team against the Houston Texans, trying to extend their dynasty another year. In the fourth quarter, Patrick Mahomes was intercepted twice, and Kansas City turned the ball over on downs two times in their own territory, including being stopped inside their own 35 in a tied game.

The Chiefs will likely need to win out to have any chance of making the playoffs. The positive news for Kansas City is that the two most challenging remaining games are against the Chargers and Broncos, while the two road games are against the Titans and Raiders.

9) New England Patriots

Last Week’s Ranking: 10
Playoff Odds: 100%

The New England Patriots had a bye in Week 14. Drake Maye has 18 touchdown passes with only four interceptions during the team’s 10-game win streak.

New England plays at home against the Bills in Week 14. In the first meeting, the Patriots got a huge road win in Buffalo in Week 5. The Patriots will play road games against the Ravens and Jets before concluding their season with a home game against the Dolphins in Week 18.

8) Jacksonville Jaguars

Last Week’s Ranking: 12
Playoff Odds: 95.5%

The Jacksonville Jaguars took sole possession of first place in the AFC South with a 36-19 win over the Indianapolis Colts. The Jaguars jumped out to a 28-10 halftime lead behind two touchdown passes by Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne’s two rushing touchdowns.

The Jaguars have two home games remaining against the New York Jets next week and the Tennessee Titans in Week 18. In between, Jacksonville will play at Denver and Indianapolis. The Jaguars will have to hold off the Colts and Houston Texans in the final month to win the AFC South.

7) Buffalo Bills

Last Week’s Ranking: 6
Playoff Odds: 93.0%

The Buffalo Bills’ defense has been a weak spot for most of the season, but it might have saved their playoff chances against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14. With Buffalo trailing by three with less than six minutes left, Christian Benford intercepted Joe Burrow and returned it for a 47-yard touchdown. On the next play from scrimmage, A.J. Epenesa picked off Burrow’s next pass that led to another Bills touchdown.

— Buffalo Bills (@BuffaloBills) December 7, 2025

The Bills play at the New England Patriots next week and need to win to have any hope of winning the AFC East again. Following a trip to Cleveland, Buffalo hosts the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets. The Bills still have work to do to serve a postseason chance.

6) Detroit Lions

Last Week’s Ranking: 9
Playoff Odds: 47.4%

The  Detroit Lions, behind three touchdowns by Jahmyr Gibbs, defeated the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night. After going 2-3 in November, a loss would have the Lions’ playoff odds under 20%. Detroit has scored an average of 40.7 points per game in the team’s last three wins; however, it has only managed 19.0 points per game.

After playing on consecutive Thursdays, the Lions get the extra rest heading into Week 15. Detroit will play three of the last four games on the road, starting with a trip to Los Angeles to face the Rams. After hosting the Steelers in Week 16, the Lions will conclude their season against the Vikings and Bears.

5) Houston Texans

Last Week’s Ranking: 7
Playoff Odds: 86.1%

The Houston Texans found a way to get out of Kansas City with a win using key stops on fourth down and turnovers. It was the tenth time in 13 games the Texans held opponents under 20 points. Houston heads to Week 15 with a five-game winning streak.

Houston controls its own destiny to make the postseason. They have the Cardinals, Raiders, and Colts at home, with the only road game being against the Chargers in Week 17. The Texans also own the head-to-head tiebreaker with the Buffalo Bills.

4) Green Bay Packers

Last Week’s Ranking: 5
Playoff Odds: 92.7%

The Green Bay Packers moved into first place in the NFC North after winning a back-and-forth game with the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field. The Packers now have a four-game winning streak heading into the last four games of the season.

Next week, Green Bay visits Denver before moving on to a rematch in Chicago in Week 16.  The Week 4 tie against the Cowboys puts the Packers in a unique position where tiebreakers won’t come into play for them unless a team they’re competing with has a tie in the future.

3) Denver Broncos

Last Week’s Ranking: 3
Playoff Odds: 99.9%

The Denver Broncos won their tenth game in a row, eight of which were by one possession. Even though a Raiders field goal as time expired in the fourth quarter cut the lead to seven, making it a one-possession game. Marvin Mims Jr. gave the Broncos the lead in the second quarter when he returned a punt 48 yards for a touchdown.

The Broncos still have some work to do to clinch the AFC West, and they are tied with the Patriots for the best record in the AFC. Currently, Denver is slotted as the one seed because it has won one more conference game than New England. The Broncos finish with home games against the Packers, Jaguars, and Chargers, and then play in Kansas City on Christmas night.

2) Seattle Seahawks

Last Week’s Ranking: 3
Playoff Odds: 97.4%

The Seattle Seahawks won on the road against the Atlanta Falcons to become the first NFC team to win ten games. With the game tied at 6, Rashid Shaheed returned the opening kickoff of the second half 100 yards for a touchdown. Seattle didn’t look back, putting up 31 points in the second half for the 37-9 win.

The Seahawks will host the Indianapolis Colts and the Los Angeles Rams the next two weeks. The games against the Rams could determine the NFC West winner and possibly the top seed in the conference. Seattle concludes its season with trips to Carolina and San Francisco.

1) Los Angeles Rams

Last Week’s Ranking: 1
Playoff Odds: 97.2%

The Los Angeles Rams scored 45 points against the Arizona Cardinals with an overall balanced attack. Matthew Stafford passed for 281 yards with three touchdown passes, Puka Nacua had 167 receiving yards with two touchdowns, and the backfield of Blake Corum and Kyren Williams rushed for over 200 yards combined with three touchdowns.

Los Angeles is tied for the NFC West lead with Seattle at 10-3, with the 49ers at 9-4 right behind. The Rams currently hold the head-to-head tiebreaker against the Seahawks. Los Angeles hosts the Lions next week and will then play at Seattle on Thursday night in Week 16.
