272 games later, the 2023-24 NFL season is officially in the books. I publish Power Rankings every week during the NFL season, and will continue with the remaining postseason teams, but the Post-Week 18 Power Rankings are the definitive list on how NFL teams performed this season.
It should come as no surprise that the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers, no matter how you slice it up, are the top two teams on the list. Both teams dominated their respective conferences to earn #1 seeds and the right to rest their starters during Week 18’s games.
The outcomes in Week 18 that had the biggest impact on these Power Rankings included:
Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills completely coming full circle, reviving themselves from a midseason slump and finding themselves #2-seeded AFC East champions after a 21-14 comeback win over Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins.
Where do all 32 teams rank at the end of the 2023-24 NFL regular season? How does their current ranking compare to my preseason expectations? Read on for my Post-Week 18 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!
