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

NFC Power Rankings: Teams that are close

NFC teams ranked #8-#5 in the Week 13 Power Rankings of the 2021 NFL season.

#8 - Philadelphia Eagles (6-7)

Last week: #11

Next Week: BYE

Minshew Mania returned to the NFL this week, but this time with the Philadelphia Eagles. Gardner Minshew scored a victory for the Eagles in his first start with his new team, replacing the injured Jalen Hurts.

The Eagles enter their Week 14 bye by sitting just half a game out of a playoff spot. They have a favorable schedule the rest of the way, with three of their final four games being played at home.

#7 - San Francisco 49ers (6-6)

Last week: #6

Next Week: vs. Cincinnati Bengals

The San Francisco 49ers had been surging up the Power Rankings with a three-game winning streak. Unfortunately that ended for them this week when they were upset by Russell Wilson and the desperate Seattle Seahawks.

The 49ers currently hold one of the Wild Card spots in the NFC playoff picture. They will look to bounce back from their loss and climb back up the Power Rankings in a difficult Week 14 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals.

#6 - Washington Football Team (6-6)

Last week: #8

Next Week: vs. Dallas Cowboys

The Washington Football Team has the longest active winning streak in the NFC. They have won their last four consecutive games and are surging up the Power Rankings.

Quarterback Taylor Heinicke is proving that he is a competitor. He battled hard during the streak to win three of the four games by a score of less than a touchdown. They were as low as 15th in the NFC Power Rankings a few weeks ago.

#5 - Los Angeles Rams (8-4)

Last week: #5

Next Week: vs. Arizona Cardinals

The Los Angeles Rams ended their three-game losing streak with a much-needed dominant victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Matthew Stafford got himself back on track by throwing three touchdowns in the blowout.

The Rams have their most important game of the season in Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals. It could be their last chance to get back in the race for the top seed in the NFC Playoffs. A win would catapult the Rams higher in the Power Rankings.
