The Buffalo Bills are the talk of the NFL. That’s what happens when your quarterback probably wins the MVP award with an impressive road win over a team that was 12-1. The Bills are very good, and obviously capable of winning a Super Bowl.
But they’re not the best team in the NFL right now.
Even though Josh Allen and the Bills were great on Sunday in beating the Detroit Lions, they still gave up 42 points, including 494 yards and five touchdowns to Jared Goff. A week earlier, they gave up 44 points to the Los Angeles Rams and lost.
There’s another team that hasn’t lost since September. Another team with an outstanding defense that has allowed 48 points in its last three games combined, while having an offense that ranks in the top 10 in points scored and yards gained, but chooses to run it more with his MVP candidate. The Philadelphia Eagles may not have pulled off a marquee victory like Buffalo’s at Detroit on Sunday, but their overall dominance and consistency is why Philly is currently No. 1.
The Eagles started 2-2, but were without star wide receiver AJ Brown in both losses. They are a perfect 10-0 since leaving. The Bills are very good (although they are underdogs to get the AFC’s No. 1 seed), but the Eagles are more complete, haven’t lost to the Rams recently and are capable of winning every game. remaining matches. Still, Bills vs. Eagles would make for an entertaining Super Bowl even if the Lions, Chiefs and maybe a few others wouldn’t agree.
Here are the NFL power rankings after Week 15 of the NFL season:
