NFL Power Rankings Week 15:

We decided to go beyond the typical numbers in this week's NFL Power Rankings, using ESPN's Football Power Index to tell the story of each team. So, the reporters evaluated the offense, defense and special teams FPI rankings of the squads they cover to explain why the teams are where they are in the standings.

Some reporters got to talk about fun things, such as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' high-powered offense led by the GOAT and the New England Patriots' stingy defense led by coaching guru Bill Belichick. Other things weren't nearly as fun to discuss, such as the Houston Texans' sputtering offense, the New York Jets' leaky defense and most things Lions and Jaguars.
