NFL Power Rankings, Week 15: How Far Have They Come?
Welcome back to another edition of my NFL Power Rankings here on Fans First Sports!
There are only four weeks left of the 2023 Regular Season, and every single game matters! For those within striking distance of division titles or Wild Card berths, it’s time to prove whether you deserve an invite to the dance or not. For the bottom of the NFL pecking order, these last few games will cement favorable draft position when the first round kicks off in April.
We know a lot about all 32 teams at this point and we’re seeing less and less movement every week in these Power Rankings. With that in mind, let’s look at where each team started the season in the Rankings and where they land now. Who was I closest in my preseason evaluation on? What teams did I over- or under-rate to start the season? Let’s find out!
