The first round of the 2023-24 NFL playoffs is in the books, and with that, my weekly Power Rankings enter postseason mode. Each week, I’ll count down the remaining playoff teams, as well as those that were just eliminated. Just because a team was knocked in the Wildcard round, like the Dallas Cowboys or Los Angeles Rams, doesn’t mean I don’t think they wouldn’t be able to beat the weaker of the playoff participants, such as the Pittsburgh Steelers or, shockingly, the Philadelphia Eagles.

Wildcard Weekend was full of upsets, already ruining my 2023-24 NFL Playoff Bracket a little bit (my Super Bowl 58 prediction is still in tact.) These results had ripple effects in my Power Rankings as well. I still have Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers at #11, considering their entire body of work, but man, for the first time this season I was genuinely shocked by Green Bay, after their dismantling of Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys on the road.

I also expected the Cleveland Browns–Houston Texans matchup to be much closer, but soon-to-be Offensive Rookie of the Year C.J. Stroud led a beatdown of his own against Joe Flacco and the Browns.

The best teams remaining are the ones that didn’t play last weekend: the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers. But with the Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions, Houston Texans, and Kansas City Chiefs still alive, Super Bowl 58 is anyone’s for the taking.
