NFL Power Rankings: Chargers Finish The Season On Top

For most of the season, the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts alternated between the number one and number two spots in our NFL power rankings. With the regular season concluded, however, both teams have fallen off of their thrones.

The San Diego Chargers have played the best football over the last couple of months of the season, and that is why they are the number one team in our ranking. The Chargers are the number two seed in the AFC going into the playoffs.

The Minnesota Vikings have moved up to the number two spot this week. They also will be a number two seed, and they moved to number two in the rankings based on their performance in a win over the New York Giants on Sunday.

Indianapolis falls to number three, mainly because they have lost two games in a row after starting the season 14-0. The Colts are the top seed in the AFC. New Orleans slips to number four. The Saints have not played a complete football game in over a month.

Dallas moves all the way up to number five in the final rankings of the year. The Cowboys won the NFC East with a win over Philadelphia this past weekend. They open the playoffs with a rematch of that game on Saturday night.

Green Bay also finished the season strong, making them number six this week. The Packers will go to the desert to face Arizona, the number seven team in the power rankings. Green Bay beat Arizona last week when the Cardinals rested quarterback Kurt Warner.

New England comes in at number eight this week, sporting an 8-0 home record as they prepare to host Baltimore on wild card weekend. Philadelphia is number nine, and Cincinnati closes out the top ten. The Bengals have a rematch with the Jets in the playoffs, although this time the game will be played in Cincinnati.
