NFL Power Rankings Week 18: Browns and Packers move up, plus a lesson from every team

New York Times  

Like the rest of you, the Power Rankings are trying to make some sense of this NFL year as we head into the final week of the regular season. Up next: vs. Los Angeles Rams, Sunday, 4:25 p.m. Cleveland Browns Thursday: Beat New York Jets 37-20 The lesson: They didn’t even need Deshaun Watson The Browns would be one of the feel-good stories in the league this year if not for the fact that they still have a scar from their pursuit of Watson, and it looks like it was a misguided self-inflicted wound. Up next: at New Orleans Saints, Sunday, 1 p.m. New York Jets Thursday: Lost to Cleveland Browns 37-20 The lesson: Don’t be stubborn The Jets tried so hard to prove they could make Zach Wilson work that they ruined their season. Up next: vs. Kansas City Chiefs, Sunday, 4:25 p.m. New England Patriots Sunday: Lost to Buffalo Bills 27-21 The lesson: Bill Belichick shouldn’t get another GM job Taking Mac Jones with the No. Up next: vs. Dallas Cowboys, Sunday, 4:25 p.m. Carolina Panthers Sunday: Lost to Jacksonville Jaguars 26-0 The lesson: The coach and QB are not the problem Owner David Tepper appears to have been busted tossing a drink on a fan late in Sunday’s loss.
