NFL Power Rankings Week 15: Where does every NFC team stand?

NFC Power Rankings: Teams that need to do better

NFC teams ranked #12-#9 in the Week 15 Power Rankings of the 2021 NFL season.

#12 - New Orleans Saints (6-7)

Last week: #14

Next Week: vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill

The New Orleans Saints finally ended their five-game losing streak with a dominating victory over the New York Jets. They will try to continue climbing the Power Rankings with dual threat quarterback Taysom Hill leading the way. He is likely going to be the starter for the rest of the season, adding a new dimension to the offense with his rushing abilities.

#11 - Seattle Seahawks (5-8)

Last week: #11

Next Week: vs. Los Angeles Rams

Russell Wilson is trying to help the Seahawks climb back up the Power Rankings and back into the NFC Playoff picture. The Seahawks went through a stretch where they lost six of seven games but have now won two consecutive games. They will need to stay hot if they want to compete for a Wild Card spot.

#10 - Atlanta Falcons (6-7)

Last week: #10

Next Week: vs. San Francisco 49ers

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan

The Atlanta Falcons are one of the most inconsistent teams this season. They are as high as 6th in the NFC Power Rankings and as low as 15th in the various weeks of the season. They have the second worst points differential in the NFC but are tied for the 7th seed in terms of record.

#9 - Washington Football Team (6-7)

Last week: #6

Next Week: vs. Philadelphia Eagles

The Washington Football Team had been surging up the Power Rankings but they fell back down a bit after a loss this week ended their four-game winning streak. Prior to their winning streak, they were on a four-game losing streak. It has been an up-and-down year for Taylor Heinicke since taking over for the injured Ryan Fitzpatrick.
