NFL power rankings after the Divisional Round and before the AFC and NFC Championship Games:
1. Eagles: Saquon and the Jalens just look like a team on a mission. Barkley, Hurts and Carter are a force to be reckoned with.
2. Bills: And yet, did anyone have a better win than Buffalo? Baltimore was formidable, but just can’t get over the hump. But give credit where it’s due.
3. Chiefs: They won at Buffalo and Baltimore last year when it seemed like their time was maybe finally up. We think the clock finally strikes midnight on their three-peat at home. They can’t keep getting away with this… right?
4. Commanders: We were right on everyone but the Lions. These Commanders are magical and Jayden Daniels is the wizard. An upset is unlikely, but not out of the question. Washington is second only to Kansas City in improbable victories this year.
