Blizzards, wind storms, and a Dolphins victory. The only thing that didn't happen this week was a Patriots loss.

Week 15:

1. New England Patriots (14-0) (Previous rank: 1): It might not have been a dominating performance against the New York Jets, but nonetheless, victory was obtained. The 1972 Dolphins have got to be nervous.

2. Indianapolis Colts (12-2) (Previous rank: 3): They didn't have the most formidable opponent in the Oakland Raiders, but the Colts still kept it close. In the end, Peyton Manning, as he usually does, found a way to win.

3. Green Bay Packers (12-2) (Previous rank: 4): How many records will Brett Favre own once his career is over? After an easy victory over St. Louis, the Pack is the team to beat in the NFC. They have Super Bowl on their mind.

4. Dallas Cowboys (12-2) (Previous rank: 2): Forget this hoopla about Jessica Simpson being a distraction, the Cowboys just didn't have it against the Eagles. As they go into the playoffs, this team has got to be concerned about Tony Romo…and his thumb.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars (10-4) (Previous rank: 6): They might have let the Steelers crawl their way back, but the Jaguars eventually found the kill shot. Their running game is starting to come to life. They are still the sleeper team of the AFC.

6. San Diego (9-5) (Previous rank: 9): And suddenly, the AFC West is a wrap. The Chargers just didn't beat the Lions, they decimated them. It seems that even their ball boy had over a hundred yards. They are going to have some tough games in the playoffs, but if they can run the ball, they might just run to victory.

7. Pittsburgh Steelers (9-5) (Previous rank: 6): There was no excuse to lose to Jacksonville. The Steelers were at home, the Steelers needed to win. Their failure to do so proves they are a good AFC team, but not a great one.

8. Tampa Bay (9-5) (Previous rank: 10): Their defense suffocated the Falcons and they finally returned a kick off for a touchdown. At 9-5, this team is a surprise, but one that continues to impress.

9. Cleveland Browns (9-5) (Previous rank: 11): This game could really have gone either way, thanks to the winter wonderland. But the Browns eked out a victory against the Bills. Jamal Lewis was the sole force behind their victory.

10. Seattle Seahawks (9-5) (Previous rank: 7): Losing to Carolina has got to hurt, but not quite as much as what has happened to the Seahawks running game. When they can't throw, they won't win. They need to win their remaining games to have some momentum going into the playoffs.

11. Minnesota Vikings (8-6) (Previous rank: 12): They got the victory against the Bears, but they still need to be concerned about their passing game. If their running game is shut down, they will struggle in the playoffs.
