NFL Power Rankings: Vikings tumble, Bills vault into top 3

Week 15 has come and is nearly finalized with just Monday Night Football remaining between the Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Seahawks.

The playoff race in both conferences is heating up and there was some serious movement. The San Francisco 49ers were the first team to clinch their division and multiple teams have a chance to clinch themselves with wins next week.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day will feature multiple games that will be a major factor in setting the playoff participants, including the Detroit Lions taking on the Minnesota Vikings and Cincinnati Bengals taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The latest NFL power rankings saw a significant amount of movement, especially at the top.
