The Bears scored a big win over the Rams on Sunday. How does this change the shape of our power rankings heading into Week 15?
It was a pretty wild week in the NFL, featuring no shortage of wild finishes...and yet our power ratings were not drastically affected.
The Rams maintained the top spot, despite laying an egg in Chicago, mostly because the number-2 Saints performed worse than expected in their win over the Buccaneers. The Los Angeles defense did gain five spots in terms of opponent-adjust Net Expected Points (NEP), making the Rams the only team in the league to rank in the top 10 on both offense and defense (the Chargers held this distinction last week, but are now fifth on offense and 11th on defense).
