Comments
The Jets retake the top spot, thanks in part to the Cowboys' complete inability to stop the Vikings' pass rush. The Panthers also benefit indirectly via their week 15 win over the Vikings.
The Jets were joined by the Saints this week as the only winning teams not to score first. The Jets are also joined by the Colts as the only winning teams not to score at least 33 points total.
The Packers are still the only losing team that scored more than 14 points. Jets @ Chargers joins Packers @ Cardinals as the only games in the playoffs with more points scored after halftime than before.
This has been a pretty weak series of playoff games so far. Six of the eight games played have been over by halftime. Five games have ended with the winning team up by at least three scores.
The full, 32-team power rankings return, so you can see that the Rams and Lions are still locked in a battle for last place.
