NFL Week 16 Statistical Rankings for 2023: A comparison of all 32 teams
The power rankings for the National Football League have changed following the Ravens’ (12-3) thrashing of the 49ers (11-4) on Monday night.
Detroit defeated Minnesota 30–24 to win their first division title since 1993, winning the league as a whole.
Miami defeated Dallas 22–20 to guarantee their place in the postseason for the second consecutive season. With the Dolphins win, Philadelphia took back the top spot in the NFC East.
If Kansas City defeats Las Vegas on Monday, they can win the AFC West. After the Ravens’ victory over the 40ers, here is a new look at the National Football League’s Power Rankings for Week 17.
In the last two minutes of regulation in Week 16, five teams combined to score the winning touchdown.
Conversely, Seattle became the third team since 1970 to score three game-winning goals in the final minute of extra or overtime in a season, following the 2004 Jaguars and the 2012 Seahawks.
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper had 11 receptions in the team’s 36-22 victory over Houston, setting a single-game team record with 265 yards and two touchdowns.
Despite Carolina’s high scoring output on Sunday, it was insufficient as the Panthers (2-13) overcame a 14-point deficit thanks to two touchdown passes to DJ Chark in the fourth quarter, which tied the score at 30-30 with 4:05 remaining. Bryce Young finished the game by accumulating a career-high 312 yards passing.
With 19 seconds left in the final period, Green Bay quarterbacks Jordan Love completed two key throws to set the Anders Carlson’s 32-yard field goal attempt. The Packers snapped a two-game losing streak when they defeated the Panthers 33-30.
With his victory versus the 49ers on Monday night, Lamar Jackson might have officially secured his spot as the NFL MVP. Baltimore has since shown us some pretty amazing things.
Having successfully navigated a protracted contract stalemate and given their franchise quarterback the receivers he needs to realize his tremendous potential, the Ravens wish you a happy Christmas.
Leading the NFL’s best team, stacked and primed for a deep postseason run and maybe a Super Bowl rematch for the 49ers, is Jackson.
Jackson is a talented football player who enjoys having fun and plays well for both the club and the league.
A few teams are now chasing the Ravens, which has caused some movement at the top of these week 17 NFL strength rankings. The NFC South is still tightly packed as a result of the Buccaneers and Falcons’ victories.
Baltimore defeated San Francisco 33-19 in Monday night’s prime-time game involving the NFL’s two top seeds, making a major statement and raising Lamar Jackson’s odds of winning MVP.
The Ravens (12-3) will get a first-round bye and play in their own stadium during the AFC playoffs if they defeat Miami (11-4) at home on Sunday.
Kyle Shanahan, the 49ers’ coach, said, “I don’t think they’ll be demoralized.” “Our balance was off, and we produced too many mistakes.”
For Jackson, the goal is not to win a certain honor. He wants a Super Bowl ring. The Ravens, which is on a high following five straight wins, will play the Dolphins next.
Before they encountered Baltimore’s tough defense and Roquan Smith, the 49ers (11-4) were the best team in the NFL.
Six games into the season, Brock Purdy—who soon became the clear frontrunner for MVP—thrashed four interceptions and watched from the sidelines as an injury terminated the evening.
Despite the loss, San Francisco still has the #1 seed in the NFC. The 49ers would guarantee the top spot if they defeated the Commanders as well as Rams in the last games of the regular season.
But the rest of the NFC should be encouraged by the Ravens’ victory over San Francisco. The 49ers, who had defeated Dallas and Philadelphia in their prior meetings, were not strong against Baltimore.
