Week 14 AFC Power Rankings
1. Oakland Raiders 10-2 at Kansas City
Coming from behind to beat Buffalo last week was impressive and a sign that the Raiders aren't going anywhere during this final stretch for home field advantage.
2. New England Patriots 10-2 vs Baltimore
No Gronk is going to continue to be a blow for the Pats but Bellichick and Brady always figure out a way to compete and win.
3. Kansas City Chiefs 9-3 vs Oakland
As always with Andy Reid's Chiefs, it's not pretty but they get the job done. This time a pick on a two point try by Eric Berry returned for two was the difference in Atlanta.
4. Denver Broncos 8-4 at Tennessee
They are a tough team to count out. If they get guys back for the playoff push and playoff run they will be a team no one wants to play.
5. Pittsburgh Steelers 7-5 at Buffalo
A big win last week vs the Giants and the offense has seemed to find its rhythm. Ladarius Green at tight end will play a major role as the Steelers look to win the Super Bowl.
6. Baltimore Ravens 7-5 at New England
The offense exploded vs Miami and scored a season high 38 points. Flacco wanted to open up the offense and it looked like it was a good idea. If their is one team that is not intimidated by going into Foxboro it's these Ravens.
7. Miami Dolphins 7-5 vs Arizona
Last week the Dolphins had the chance to make a statement after six straight wins they needed to only compete but failed to do so.
8. Tennessee Titans 6-6 vs Denver
Coming off a bye the Titans need a big win to stay in the race for the AFC South title. Of the three teams (them, Indy and Houston) they have been the more complete and consistent team but have the toughest road.
9. San Diego Chargers 5-7 at Carolina
They have no shot at the division and are a long shot at a wild card. However, they continue to play hard and compete and can play the role of spoiler.
10. Indianapolis Colts 6-6 vs Houston
The time is now and after a big performance on the road against the Jets, it's the Colts that look like the team that's most capable of winning the AFC South.
11. Buffalo Bills 6-6 vs Pittsburgh
They were leading going into the fourth quarter and will probably feel like they were the better team for majority of the day in Oakland.
12. Houston Texans 6-6 at Indianapolis
Brock Osweiler looks like a rookie quarterback and this being his first year as a starting quarterback he really is. His struggles has caused his team to be in the position they are in.
13. Cincinnati Bengals 4-7-1 at Cleveland
Marvin Lewis' team showed signs of life vs Philly and know they have to win out just to have a shot at the playoffs.
14. New York Jets 3-9 at San Francisco
Bryce Petty should be the starter for the last four games and they can beat the 49ers. The defense has been just as disappointing as the offense.
15. Jacksonville Jaguars 2-10 vs Minnesota
They were right there and had a shot to beat Denver but was unable to pull it off. This week they can put the finishing touches on a disappointing season in Minnesota.
16. Cleveland Browns 0-12 vs Cincinnati
RGIII could be back so that's a plus. Dont know how much of a plus but it's better, right?
