Climbing up the rankings with big Week 15 victories were the Baltimore Ravens and Green Bay Packers, who both have chances at the postseason thanks to their come-from-behind wins. The Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions weren’t as fortunate, as both teams slid down the rankings.
At the bottom remain the Houston Texans and Washington Redskins as the consensus worst and second-worst teams in the NFL, respectively.
