Predominantly Orange Week 16 NFL Power Rankings

1 of 8

In the second to last edition of these Power Rankings find out who rounds out the top-10 in the in week 16. The last two weeks should be a fun ride. Where do the Denver Broncos rank this week?

The 2016 NFL season has two weeks to go. The top two teams in the NFL cannot be questioned, and have shown up on top of these Power Rankings all year long. It appears that there is a better chance than not that both Super Bowl teams from a year ago will miss the playoffs. It has been a crazy year, and will probably only get even crazier in the next two weeks. Buckle up.

1. New England Patriots (1)

The Patriots finally got a win in their most feared spot—Denver, Colorado. Despite playing his worst game of the season, Tom Brady and the Patriots got a relatively easy victory over their conference rival Broncos, and clinched a bye in the first round of the playoffs.

2. Dallas Cowboys (3)

Back on track Cowboys, back on track Dak. An 88% completion percentage isn’t bad for a game. The Cowboys are easily the class of the NFC, and could be on the fast track to the Super Bowl.

3. Pittsburgh Steelers (4)

It wasn’t pretty early but the Steelers found a way to win the football game. Big Ben hasn’t seemed quite the same since returning from his knee injury. Lucky for the Steelers, LeVeon Bell is playing the best football of his career and it has kept the Steelers on track. A win against Baltimore on Christmas Day should lock up the division.

Dec 18, 2016; Atlanta, GA, USA; Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (24) dives but is unable to score a touchdown against San Francisco 49ers defensive back Vinnie Sunseri (40) in the first quarter of their game at the Georgia Dome. Mandatory Credit: Jason Getz-USA TODAY Sports /

4. Atlanta Falcons (5)

This Falcons offense is clicking on all cylinders. If not for a couple late game gaffes, this team really could be right there with the Cowboys, fighting for the number one seed. This team will not be an easy out once the playoffs begin.
