NFL Power Rankings Week 16: Where does every NFC team stand?

NFC Power Rankings: The top teams

NFC teams ranked #4-#1 in the Week 16 Power Rankings of the 2021 NFL season.

#4 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers (10-4)

Last week: #2

Next Week: vs. Carolina Panthers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were shut out by the New Orleans Saints on Sunday Night Football, a rare occurrence in Tom Brady's legendary career. The loss was bad, but the injuries they suffered were even worse. Chris Godwin, Mike Evans and Leonard Fournette all left the game early due to injuries.

The Buccaneers have an opportunity to bounce back this week against the struggling Carolina Panthers.

#3 - Los Angeles Rams (10-4)

Last week: #5

Next Week: vs. Minnesota Vikings

The Los Angeles Rams are back in the top three in the Power Rankings. They haven't fallen out of the top five in the NFC Power Rankings at any point this season.

Cooper Kupp is having a monster season, leading in just about every statistical receiving category. He is one of the favorites to win the Offensive Player of the Year award.

#2 - Dallas Cowboys (10-4)

Last week: #4

Next Week: vs. Washington Football Team

The Dallas Cowboys offense ranks in the top five in the NFL in yardage and scoring, but their defense has been impressive as well. Micah Parsons is more than likely going to win the Defensive Rookie of the Year award while Trevon Diggs leads the NFL in interceptions.

The Cowboys are one of the most balanced teams in the NFL as they surge to second place in the NFC Power Rankings.

#1 - Green Bay Packers (11-3)

Last week: #1

Next Week: vs. Cleveland Browns

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers

The Green Bay Packers have the best record in the NFL this season and are the easy choice for top spot in the Power Rankings.

Aaron Rodgers has lost just one game since Week 1 as he continues his campaign for the 2021 NFL MVP award. The Packers are the only team in the NFL who are undefeated on their home field this season.
