Now that the dust has settled on the Seattle Seahawks’ Super Bowl 60 victory over the New England Patriots, it’s time to re-visit all 32 teams and include what we learned in the playoffs in the final Power Rankings of the year.

The Seattle Seahawks will obviously top the list, as no one could get in their way en route to their second ever Lombardi Trophy.

Some teams improved their stock in the playoffs, like the Los Angeles Rams and Buffalo Bills. Other teams, like the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers, hurt their overall image with ugly postseason losses.

The Denver Broncos are kind of hard to grade, as they won a playoff game against the Bills with Bo Nix in the fold, but lost the AFC Championship Game with Nix on the sideline. However, the Broncos were still just three points away from a chance at going to Super Bowl 60 even with Jarrett Stidham, so overall, Denver still finished pretty solid, led by a stellar defense.

Other teams that impressed in the postseason, even if they didn’t make deep runs, are the Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears, who both suffered very narrow losses to a strong, NFL MVP Matthew Stafford-led Rams team.

For this list, last ranking will be based on my Post-Week 18 Power Rankings.
