The Dallas Cowboys took full control of the NFC East division with a win over the Washington Football Team. They have remained in the top five of the NFC Power Rankings for the entire 2021 NFL season and are still in the running for the top seed in the NFC Playoffs. Dak Prescott leads the most balanced offense in the NFL, ranking in the top six in yards, passing, rushing and points.
#3 - Arizona Cardinals (10-3)
Last week: #1
Next Week: vs. Detroit Lions
The Arizona Cardinals had an opportunity to take full control of the NFC West division but failed to defeat the Los Angeles Rams. A win would have all but sealed the division title. Rather than being three games up with four to go and owning the tie breaker, they now just lead by one game with no tie breaker yet. The Cardinals fell out of the top two in the NFC Power Rankings for the first time in two months.

Next Week: vs. New Orleans Saints
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been in the top five in the Power Rankings for the entire 2021 NFL season. They enter Week 15 featuring the best offense in the NFL. They average the most yards per game and points per game. Tom Brady has emerged as the clear favorite to win the 2021 NFL MVP award. If he does, that would be the fourth of his career.
#1 - Green Bay Packers (10-3)

The Green Bay Packers are back on top of the Power Rankings. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has lost just one game since Week 1 of the season, and it was by a final second field goal as time expired. If the season ended today, the Packers would be the top seed in the NFC Playoffs. That would mean the road to the Super Bowl would go through Lambeau Field.
