NFL Power Rankings Week 14: Bills, Eagles peaking, plus worst-case scenarios

New York Times  

The Week 14 NFL Power Rankings don’t want to be a downer, but since we did best-case scenarios last week, it’s only fair to consider the worst-case scenarios for all 32 teams. Up next: vs. Carolina Panthers, Sunday, 1 p.m. Buffalo Bills Last week: 3 Sunday: Beat San Francisco 49ers 35-10 Worst-case scenario: Derrick Henry going wild in the playoffs There’s not much to pick on in Buffalo after the Bills trounced the 49ers at snowy Highmark Stadium on Sunday night, but looking ahead to the playoffs, this team might be vulnerable against a potent rushing attack. Up next: vs. New York Jets, Sunday, 1 p.m. Dallas Cowboys Last week: 23 Thursday: Beat New York Giants 27-20 Worst-case scenario: Lying to themselves Micah Parsons said on FOX after Thursday’s win: “I believe we’re going to turn it around and make a run.” Dallas has a less than 1 percent chance to make the postseason, according to The Athletic’s playoff projections. Up next: at San Francisco 49ers, Sunday, 4:25 p.m. New Orleans Saints Last week: 24 Sunday: Lost to Los Angeles Rams 21-14 Worst-case scenario: Taysom Hill is never the same When Hill left Sunday’s game with a season-ending knee injury, he had played five snaps at quarterback, 20 at wide receiver, three at running back, three at tight end and eight at fullback. Up next: at New York Giants, Sunday, 1 p.m. Cleveland Browns Last week: 25 Monday: Lost to Denver Broncos 41-32 Worst-case scenario: Being stuck here The Browns have had two 11-win seasons since 2007.
