NFL Power Rankings Week 14: Where does every NFC team stand?

NFC Power Rankings: Teams that need to do better

NFC teams ranked #12-#9 in the Week 13 Power Rankings of the 2021 NFL season.

#12 - New York Giants (4-8)

Last week: #10

Next Week: vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Only two teams in the NFC have scored fewer points than the New York Giants this year. Part of the reason is because of various injuries to many of their key offensive players throughout the year.

Adding to their list of injuries is quarterback Daniel Jones. If he were to miss the rest of the season, there is a possibility that he has started his last game with the Giants.

#11 - Seattle Seahawks (4-8)

Last week: #15

Next Week: vs. Houston Texans

The Seattle Seahawks were the lowest they have been all season in the Power Rankings last week. After a crucial victory that may have potentially saved their season, they jumped back up a few spots.

The Seahawks will look to continue their climb back up the Power Rankings when they take on the Houston Texans in Week 14 in a favorable matchup. The Texans are the first team in the NFL to be mathematically eliminated from the playoffs this year.

#10 - Atlanta Falcons (5-7)

Last week: #9

Next Week: vs. Carolina Panthers

The Atlanta Falcons have been one of the most inconsistent teams this year, and their fluctuating spot in the Power Rankings has reflected that. They've been as high as 6th and as low as 15th in the weekly NFC Power Rankings throughout the season.

The Falcons have the worst points differential in the entire NFC. They have allowed the most points to opposing teams this year while only scoring the fourth fewest number of points in the NFC.

#9 - Minnesota Vikings (5-7)

Last week: #7

Next Week: vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

The Minnesota Vikings suffered the most disappointing loss possible this week. They gave the Detroit Lions their first and only win of the season so far in a division rivalry game.

Defense has been the biggest reason for the Vikings' struggles this season. They are one of only three teams in the NFC to have allowed over 300 points entering Week 14.
