A look at how NFL teams rank going into Week 16:
1. New Orleans (12-2)
Drew Brees’ ability to lead an offense and complete short passes combined with legitimate balance and a stout defense make the Saints NFC favorites.
Last week: 2 Next: Pittsburgh
2. L.A. Chargers (11-3)
Have pretty much taken Philip Rivers for granted, considering he’s never mentioned here as a contender for the MVP. He should be. And don’t you want to see an AFC title game in StubHub?
Last week: 4 Next: Baltimore
