NFL Power Rankings: Vikings survive Raiders, Chiefs fall in tough loss

With just four games left in the regular season, we are seeing things get both clearer and more convoluted.

After Sunday night football, the NFC has a three-way tie at the top with the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys all at 10-3. The 49ers have the inside track to the number one seed, as they beat both the Eagles and Cowboys by a combined score of 83-29.

In the AFC, the Baltimore Ravens took one more step toward the number one seed in the AFC by beating the Los Angeles Rams in overtime by a score of 37-31. The wild card race is really tight with seven teams fighting for three wild card spots.

As we take a look at the latest power rankings, it reflects more the level of play rather than the record itself.
