NFL Week 18 power rankings after Seattle Seahawks, Jacksonville Jaguars, San Francisco 49ers, Houston Texans win again. Where are they ranked now?
The Buffalo Bills scored 26 straight points and ran over the Pittsburgh Steelers, 26-7. It dropped Pittsburgh, which had climbed into the AFC North lead after the Baltimore Ravens lost on Thanksgiving, out of the top spot in the division and into the No. 9 seed.
Week 16 in the NFL features a loaded afternoon slate with 11 games. Featured in the early window, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers fight it out over first place in the NFC South.
It seems unfair that a team could go from a chance at the No. 1 seed in Week 18 to falling all the way to No. 5 or 6 with a loss, but the NFL insists on giving division champs the top four seeds regardless of record.
