PITTSBURGH STEELERS (8-7)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It looks like Mike Tomlin has finally run out of quarterbacks.<br><strong>Last week: 13<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>15. DALLAS COWBOYS (7-8)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A win and an Eagles loss and you\u2019re still in, Cowboys, which would really be the worst possible thing to happen at this point.<br><strong>Last week: 14<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>16. CHICAGO BEARS (7-8)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I know this feels like a let down season, but last year was an overachievement. This is more of what was expected and there was some solid growth in 2019. You\u2019ll be significantly better in 2020.  <br><strong>Last week: 16<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>17. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (7-8)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a deep class at quarterback, Bucs. Let Bruce Arians pick the one he likes that falls to him and push Jameis Winston out onto the ice flow.  <br><strong>Last week: 17<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>18. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (7-8)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s good or bad that Jim Irsay has finally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indystar.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/colts\/2019\/12\/22\/andrew-luck-retirement-colts-owner-jim-irsay-tells-nfl-network-quarterback-isnt-coming-back\/2726394001\/\">given up on Andrew Luck<\/a> returning. I do know it means they\u2019re drafting a quarterback.  <br><strong>Last week: 20<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>19. ATLANTA FALCONS (6-9)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If only the Falcons could have played this well when it actually mattered.<br><strong>Last week: 18<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>20. DENVER BRONCOS (6-9)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I legitimately expected more out of this Broncos team this season. I might have just been a year too early.<br><strong>Last week: 24<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>21. ARIZONA CARDINALS (6-9)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m telling you, hate on Adam Gase all you want. I think these Jets are as good as they could be with anybody at the helm. Give him another year.  <br><strong>Last week: 27<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>22. OAKLAND RAIDERS (7-8)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Las Vegas, are you sure you want these guys?<br><strong>Last week: 22<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>23. ARIZONA CARDINALS (5-9-1)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The win over the Seahawks was the biggest of Kliff Kingsbury\u2019s young career and shows this team might not be as far away as we all think.<br><strong>Last week: 23<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>24. CLEVELAND BROWNS (6-9)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that the Bengals have the No. 1 pick locked up, I\u2019ve never been more comfortable picking against the Browns. Let\u2019s end this Freddie Kitchens farce.  <br><strong>Last week: 19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>25. NEW YORK GIANTS (4-11)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley both played solid games against a bad Redskins team, doing just enough to knock themselves out of picking the draft\u2019s best pass rusher in April.  <br><strong>Last week: 29<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>26. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (5-9)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, when an NFL head coach is performing as terribly as the Chargers\u2019 Anthony Lynn, there\u2019s some kind of rumblings that he\u2019s on the hot seat. That he could, or should get fired. The fact that there seems to be none is an indictment of this franchise from the top down. Or maybe it\u2019s just that no one, even in the media, cares.  <br><strong>Last week 28<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>27. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (5-10)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One game to go until you can start it all over again, Jaguars. You\u2019ll fix it this time, right? Right?<br><strong>Last week: 21<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>28. CAROLINA PANTHERS (5-10)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t think anyone is happier that you fired Ron Rivera a few weeks ago than Ron Rivera.<br><strong>Last week: 26<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>29. WASHINGTON REDSKINS (3-12)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As rumors go, nothing would please me more than to see <a href=\"https:\/\/thespun.com\/college-football\/urban-meyer-cowboys-redskins-landing-spot\">Urban Meyer flame out<\/a> as an NFL head coach in Washington.<br><strong>Last week: 25<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>30. MIAMI DOLPHINS (4-11)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Leave it to the Dolphins to try to tank before the season and still manage to win enough games to knock themselves out of a Top Four pick.<br><strong>Last week: 30<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>31. DETROIT LIONS (3-11-1)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of tanking, the Lions didn\u2019t do this on purpose. Unless you count keeping Matt Patricia. In which case, they\u2019ll be right back here again next season.<br><strong>Last week: 32<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>32. CINCINNATI BENGALS (1-14)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy this, Bengals. You\u2019ve secured the top pick in the draft and can go ahead and hand an embarrassing beat down to the Browns without doing a thing to change it. Take the victory lap here. You\u2019ve earned it.<br><strong>Last week: 31<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get the latest NFL football odds and information&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/betonline_ag\">follow BetOnline.ag on Twitter<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/betonline_ag\/\">BetOnline.ag on Instagram<\/a>&#8211;Follow for the latest odds, stats and information!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BY ADAM GREENE We continue on with our final installment of the NFL Power Rankings. 14.
