Week 14 NFL Power Rankings (From an Amateur)

Divisions were clinched, byes were cast, and Miami's still winless. Things are quickly solidifying in this years NFL.

Week 14:

1. New England Patriots (13-0) (Previous rank: 1): Despite the Steelers guarantee, the Patriots easily won the game. The Tom Brady/Randy Moss connection can't be stopped and when it is, he just finds another receiver.

2. Dallas Cowboys (12-1) (Previous rank: 2): This was a huge come from behind victory against Detroit who seemed to have the game in the bag. Tony Romo was spectacular when he needed to be but now, now, Wade, let's not deem him the next John Elway just yet.

3. Indianapolis Colts (11-2) (Previous rank: 3): With a 44-20 victory, this game wasn't actually as close as it seems. The Colts completely took it to the Ravens, jumping out to a big lead and never relinquishing. Anthony Gonzalez just might be the next Marvin Harrison.

4. Green Bay Packers (11-2) (Previous rank: 4): Green Bay got it done on special teams against the Raiders. It was another easy victory for the Packers. With Ryan Grant suddenly coming to life, this team is a huge threat to fill the NFC's spot in the Super Bowl.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars (9-4) (Previous rank: 6): In any other division, the Jaguars would be at the top. With an easy victory over Carolina, they've all but guaranteed themselves a wild card berth. This team is one people need to watch out for.

6. Pittsburgh Steelers (9-4) (Previous rank: 5): Come on boys, a little less talk, a lot more action. Their loss to the Patriots proved that the Steelers aren't quite ready to be in the highest tier of the NFL. Still, they need to be more concerned with their injuries: they are starting to add up.

7. Seattle Seahawks (9-4) (Previous rank: 8): . The Cardinals never really had a chance against Seattle: they got ahead early and never looked back. Suddenly, the Seahawks are back to doing what they always do: winning the NFC West.

8. New York Giants (9-4) (Previous rank: 9): Eli Manning is bent on making the NFL say "Peyton who?" With their win against the Eagles, the Giants are in a nice spot for the post season. They are still hurting at running back, which may come back to bite them.
