NFL Week 13 Power Rankings: Eagles maintain top spot, Steelers rise post Canada

Week 12 was a lot of fun from start to finish.

Thanksgiving Day might have had two blowouts but all three games were engaging enough throughout to keep the entertainment value high. The Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers solidified themselves at the top of the NFC and the Green Bay Packers kept themselves alive in the wild card race.

After the Miami Dolphins handled the New York Jets on Black Friday, the Sunday slate was mostly underwhelming. C.J. Stroud and Trevor Lawrence dueled in Houston to complete their season series in what could be the next generational quarterback rivalry in the NFL.

The Buffalo Bills went into Philadelphia and played very well against the Eagles and the Baltimore Ravens looked like a top team in the NFL.

Going into Monday Night Football between the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears, the latest batch of NFL power rankings highlight both some heavy movement and teams solidifying themselves amongst their peers.
