Week 14 NFL Power Rankings: 49ers and Cowboys surge, Browns and Steelers slipping

With five weeks to go, how is the NFL landscape shaping up?

Welcome back to this Week 14 edition of NFL Power Rankings! This week’s rankings feature the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers for the wrong reasons, and the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys for all of the right reasons after their Week 13 action.

Injuries are finally starting to catch up to the Browns, who are already playing without their QB1, RB1, RT1, LT1, and now potentially without their WR1 as Amari Cooper is now in the concussion protocol. The Steelers have revealed who they really are in recent weeks, and now may be playing out the rest of their season with backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky at the helm.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, however, the Cowboys and 49ers are playing elite football with just five weeks to go. The cream of the crop continues to rise to the top and separate themselves as contenders.

With just five weeks to go until we reach the postseason, here are the Week 14 NFL Power Rankings. Who is up and who is down as these 32 teams enter crunch time down the stretch?
