Week 16 NFL Power Rankings

Julian Edelamn

3. Green Bay Packers (LW: 1)

Everything eventually comes to an end. For the Packers, it was not only a five-game winning streak, or string of play featuring nine wins in ten games, but an unbelievable run of dominance. During the loss in Buffalo, even the superhuman quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw a few interceptions. In the long run, the loss may be in the best interest for the team, allowing the Packers to step back, reassess, and possibly recreate another hot streak. With a near-freebie in Tampa Bay next week, the battle for the NFC North will likely be decided in Week 17 against the Lions.
