PFT’s Week 12 2024 NFL power rankings

1. Lions (last week No. 2; 9-1): Dan Campbell says getting questions about whether to remove starters during garbage time of a blowout is a good problem to have. Here’s a not-good problem — getting a starter seriously injured during garbage time of a blowout.

2. Bills (No. 3; 9-2): We know they can beat the Chiefs in the regular season. Can they do it in the postseason?

3. Chiefs (No. 1; 9-1): They’ll just shrug and keep going.

4. Steelers (No. 5; 8-2): The Steelers are fun to watch when they’re winning.

5. Eagles (No. 7; 8-2): The Eagles are fun to watch when they’re winning.

6. Ravens (No. 4; 7-4): The Ravens are fun to watch, winning or losing.

7. Vikings (No. 8; 8-2): The Vikings are simply not fun to watch.

8. Packers (No. 9; 7-3): They’d be 9-1 if they’d beaten the Lions and Vikings.

9. Commanders (No. 6; 7-4): The offense is getting sluggish, and the coaching on Thursday night was not good enough.

10. Cardinals (No. 10; 6-4): Best evidence that Cardinals are legit? When they were on their bye, I missed them.

13. Texans (No. 14; 7-4): Keep feeding Joe Mixon.

14. Broncos (No. 15; 6-5): Bo Nix might catch Jayden Daniels for offensive rookie of the year.

15. Rams (No. 16; 5-5): If they get a little healthier, they could take the NFC West.

16. Falcons (No. 13; 6-5): Their hammerlock on the division crown is getting a lot looser.

17. Buccaneers (No. 17; 4-6): They’re still very much alive, despite many recent struggles.

18. Seahawks (No. 19; 5-5): The season was about to be put to sleep, until Geno Smith scored the touchdown that caused him to say night-night to the Niners.

19. Dolphins (No. 20; 4-6): There’s a realistic path to 9-8. Will that be good enough to get in?

20. Colts (No. 22; 5-6): Old narrative, “You can’t bench a struggling young quarterback.” New narrative, “Benching a…
