Top Teams Shuffle Down the Stretch, But Rodgers, Brady, Belichick & Tomlin Are Surging Late

After the holidays, there’s only one week left in the NFL season to determine the postseason picture. The teams at the top have shuffled a bit down the stretch with nine teams boasting double-digit wins. Four franchises with iconic leaders dominated December in order to put their teams in position for the playoffs, and once they’re in, there’s no telling what they might do. Tom Brady (Bucs), Aaron Rodgers (Packers), Bill Belichick (Patriots), and Mike Tomlin (Steelers) have all had a rough year. All four teams won in Week 17 with Rodgers (W4) and Brady (W2) riding win streaks toward the postseason. The Jags and Lions are also hot down the stretch. Here are our final NFL Power Rankings before the playoffs.
