Week 12 NFL Power Rankings

Tom Brady

13. Miami Dolphins (LW: 12)

It certainly wasn’t the prettiest win – and it came against a team who has finally returned to earth — but Miami’s home victory on Thursday Night Football keeps them alive in the AFC playoff hunt. Quite possibly the biggest takeaway from the last few weeks of football is the consistent play of quarterback Ryan Tannehill. If the name sounds familiar, he was the one that many people suggested benching after the first few weeks of the season. After their much needed win, the Dolphins head to Denver to put their top-five defense to the test against Peyton Manning.
