With the “Sunday Night Football” matchup between the Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings over, it’s time to take a look at our updated NFL power rankings going into Week 12 of the season.
There’s still one more game left to be played in Week 11, and it also happens to be the most-anticipated one. The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs are set for a showdown on “Monday Night Football” that will determine who sits at No. 1 on our list going into Week 12.
The Broncos managed to extend their NFL-best winning streak to four with a 21-20 win over the Vikings. Denver, along with the Buffalo Bills and Green Bay Packers, are making the biggest leaps in our rankings.
The Cincinnati Bengals had their Super Bowl hopes dashed after Joe Burrow suffered a season-ending injury in a loss to the Baltimore Ravens. That has the Bengals joining the incredibly disappointing Los Angeles Chargers as two teams taking the biggest hit this week.
Now, our updated NFL power rankings going into Week 12.
