Week 17 NFL Power Rankings: The Broncos Are Starting To Slide

Peyton Manning

6. Detroit Lions (LW: 8)

Detroit continues to play to the level of its competition, allowing the Bears to hang around long enough to need yet another fourth-quarter comeback. With the Lions’ fifth such comeback, it has now become a characteristic of this ‘no-quit’ team, with no game truly out of reach. Regardless of what has transpired prior to Week 17, the highly desired matchup of the Lions’ top-ranked defense against the prolific Packers’ offense will finally come to fruition and decide the NFC North.
