Week 16 brought some hard-hitting matchups throughout the week leading up to and including 2023 Christmas Day. As a result, I was on-the-go, celebrating Christmas with three sides of the family in three days and traveling between New York and Denver.

But my weekly Power Rankings must go on, even if Week 17’s games have literally already been played. This is mainly for record-keeping purposes, as well to keep myself happy: just one week missing in my 20+ entry Power Rankings series for 2023-24 would drive me crazy.

The Baltimore Ravens knocked off the San Francisco 49ers to become the new top dog in this week’s Power Rankings.

Without further ado, and with little frill since it’s not a timely article, read on for my Post-Week 16 Power Rankings, and if you’d like to debate or discuss any rankings, or want to follow for more NFL content including Picks and Power Rankings, be sure to connect with Sak Sports Blog on Twitter or on Facebook!
