NFL power rankings: Seahawks return to top five after reclaiming No. 1 seed in Week 15

NFL power rankings, post-Week 15 edition:

1. Ravens (1): They're just one win from locking up AFC's home field ... though it'd be a bummer if Lamar Jackson doesn't continue breaking records thru Week 17.

2. Saints (3): This might be statistical anomaly of year — Drew Brees completes 29 of 30 passes for 307 yards, four TDs and zero INTs … and doesn’t achieve a perfect 158.3 passer rating.

3. Seahawks (6): Possible they've played final road game of season ... though worth noting they've got better record there (7-1) than at CenturyLink Field (4-2).

4. 49ers (2): First team in 15 years to feature three rushers each reaching 500-yard plateau. Niners only have two receivers with more than 500 yards.

5. Chiefs (5): ICYMI, this defense has allowed 45 total points in its past four games. Better keep an eye on Kansas City, which can throw haymakers with anybody.

6. Packers (4): Here's hoping Aaron Rodgers enjoyed a nice scotch after punching his playoff ticket, because he could be facing sobering experience in Minnesota next Monday.

7. Vikings (7): Seems like forever since Stefon Diggs was pouting. In the interim, he's put together best season of his career, including 1,073 receiving yards.

8. Texans (8): Carlos Hyde has been one of the more underappreciated stories of the year, going from afterthought to his first 1,000-yard rushing effort.

9. Patriots (9): Why doesn't Stephon Gilmore get more defensive player of the year love? He's scored on two pick-sixes but hasn't been beaten for TD all season.

10. Bills (11): Nice to see emerging players like Josh Allen, Tre’Davious White, Smokey Brown and Devin Singletary get some overdue national exposure in recent weeks.

11. Titans (10): Another beneficiary of Ryan Tannehill's ascension is rookie WR A.J. Brown, who's scored five TDs and averaged nearly 80 ypg since QB switch.

12. Steelers (12): T.J. Watt has developed into force nearly as destructive as his brother and might bring another defensive player of the year trophy to Watt family mantel.

13. Buccaneers (15): Unfortunately for them, NFL eschews geographic accuracy ... otherwise Bucs might be winning NFC East while Cowboys sank in NFC South.

14. Cowboys (16): In case you enjoy trivia, the last team to finish a season with the No. 1 offense and fail to reach the postseason was the 2016 Saints.

15. Rams (13): Congrats to Cooper Kupp, who's put together his first 1,000-yard receiving season and may win comeback player of year honors for his trouble.

16. Eagles (17): If you're assuming hosting Dallas at Linc will boost Iggles’ chances to take over NFC East, think again. Dallas has won six of seven in Philly.

17. Bears (14): This will be a fun week for Mitch Trubisky. Patrick Mahomes, whom Chicago could have drafted in 2017, comes to town Sunday to serve a bitter reminder.

18. Cardinals (28): Remains to be seen if trade for Kenyan Drake ultimately helps anyone other than Kenyan Drake, who's heading into free agency with full head of steam.

19. Falcons (24): They're 4-2 since 1-7 start and, even with little at stake, continue to knock off good teams like the Saints and 49ers. Maybe Dan Quinn deserves one more crack at this thing.

20. Broncos (20): Von Miller has never failed to reach double-digit sacks over course of a full season. He's got seven with two weeks to go this year.

21. Colts (18): Have you ever watched a "Monday Night Football" game where one of the participating teams was basically never mentioned? And this isn't to suggest ESPN did anything wrong ...

22. Browns (19): "Come get me!" ... because we just guaranteed our 12th consecutive season without a winning record, longest active streak in league.

23. Jets (21): With Steelers coming to town, will be quite a week of parsing how Le'Veon Bell could have navigated this "Choose Your Own Adventure" thing differently.

24. Jaguars (30): And now NFLPA is advising its members against signing with Jacksonville, presumably, until current regime is swept out. #DUUUVAL

25. Raiders (22): Here's a weird factoid — Silver & Black played more seasons (25) in Oakland after their Los Angeles stint than before 1982 move (22 seasons).

26. Chargers (23): It's pretty hard to turn the ball over seven times. But the Bolts' ability to underachieve rarely fails to amaze.

27. Giants (31): Here's one vote to start Eli Manning at Washington in bid to boost his career record to 118-117 before his tenure in New York concludes.

28. Redskins (25): That six-year, $84 million contract for Landon Collins didn't look smart in the spring. Now it's appearing downright Norman-esque.

29. Dolphins (27): Not sure why everyone's paying so much attention to Lamar Jackson ... Ryan Fitzpatrick leads his team in rushing yards (ahem, 219), too.

30. Panthers (26): Starting rookie QB Will Grier makes all the sense in the world for football department in midst of serious top-down evaluation with an overarching quarterback conundrum needing resolution to boot.

31. Lions (29): Matthew Stafford rarely gets deserved appreciation. Maybe he'll get more in light of way this team has completely gone to pieces (0-6) without him.

32. Bengals (32): Andy Dalton has five INTs in past two starts. Heisman Trophy winner (and Ohio native) Joe Burrow had six all season for LSU. Wonder who will be starting in Cincy next year ...
