5 min2024 NFL Power Rankings: Ranking All 32 Teams Heading into the Conference Championships
Only four teams remain in the NFL Playoffs heading into the Conference Championships.
We'll rank those four teams and update our list of the teams that lost last week in our new 2024 NFL power rankings.
2024 NFL Power Rankings
1. Baltimore Ravens
Maybe the Ravens were a bit rusty in the first half against the Texans. But after halftime, the Ravens took control and dominated the Texans like everyone expected them to.
The Ravens are the best team in the NFL, despite what the futures odds might think.
2. San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco struggled for most of their game against the Packers. But they found a way. That's ultimately what good teams do.
There's a lot of doubt coming from the media and fans about Brock Purdy. A dominating win against the Lions would prove all the doubters wrong.
3. Detroit Lions
The Lions have earned single-digit wins in back-to-back games at home in the playoffs. The defense came alive in the second half of the first game against the Rams, and the offense provided the spark in the second half of the Divisional Playoffs against the Buccaneers.
Detroit is connected as a football team.
4. Kansas City Chiefs
It's crazy to think that the Chiefs are the worst team of the final four in the NFL Playoffs. Sure, if the Chiefs played the Lions in the playoffs, they'd be favorites. But let's not forget Detroit already earned a win against the Chiefs in Week 1.
Anyway, it's hard to bet against Mahomes and the Chiefs in January. He's incredible.
5. Buffalo Bills
The Bills fell to the Kansas City Chiefs for the third consecutive time in the playoffs. Josh Allen is taking a lot of the blame, but ultimately, Tyler Bass, the kicker, missed a kick to potentially send the game into overtime.
Buffalo was a great team this year. But they're not going to win the Super Bowl.
6. Green Bay Packers
The Packers dominated the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card game and outplayed the San Francisco 49ers for most of the Divisional Playoffs. However, a missed kick from Anders Carlson didn't help, and the Packers fell short.
Green Bay is incredibly excited for Jordan Love's second season as a starter.
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Buccaneers had the ball with a chance to tie the Detroit Lions in the NFC Divisional Playoffs on the road.
Playing in Ford Field is incredibly hard, but the Buccaneers hung in there until the end of the game.
If Tampa Bay can find a way to keep Baker Mayfield, Antoine Winfield Jr., and Mike Evans, they'll be a tough out next season.
8. Houston Texans
The Texans finally hit a road bump against the Baltimore Ravens, losing 34-10. The offense didn't score a single touchdown, and the defense started to fatigue in the second half.
That's what Baltimore does to you. However, the Texans have a bright future ahead.
9. Dallas Cowboys
10. Miami Dolphins
11. Los Angeles Rams
12. Cleveland Browns
13. Pittsburgh Steelers
14. Philadelphia Eagles
15. Seattle Seahawks
16. Indianapolis Colts
17. Cincinnati Bengals
18. Jacksonville Jaguars
19. Chicago Bears
20. New Orleans Saints
21. Tennessee Titans
22. Atlanta Falcons
23. New York Giants
24. Las Vegas Raiders
25. Minnesota Vikings
26. Denver Broncos
27. New York Jets
28. New England Patriots
29. Arizona Cardinals
30. Los Angeles Chargers
31. Carolina Panthers
32. Washington Commanders
