Where do the Commanders stand in the NFL power rankings after Week 14?

The Commanders moved up two positions in the NFC playoff race on their week off. What about the various power rankings?

The Washington Commanders had a much-deserved bye week in Week 14. Washington entered its bye week with a 7-5-1 record and a half-game out of the NFC’s final wild-card spots.

The week off couldn’t have gone any better for the Commanders. The two teams ahead of Washington for the final two NFC playoff spots — the New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks — both lost. The Seahawks lost to the Carolina Panthers at home, while the Philadelphia Eagles dominated the Giants.

Thanks to the two losses, Washington moved up from No. 8 [out of the playoffs] into the No. 6 position, previously occupied by the Giants.
