Week 14 provided some interesting results, which will certainly shake up the standings in this week’s NFL power rankings.

Top teams — such as the Dallas Cowboys, Seattle Seahawks and Oakland Raiders — fell into the loss column during last week’s action, and we also saw some continued ascendance from hot franchises on their way towards the top.

As we’ve done for a good chunk of the season, Niner Noise takes a stab at NFL power rankings for all 32 teams now that Week 15 is on the table.

Being a San Francisco 49ers site, it’s easy to understand why the focus will be on the red and gold. The Niners, of course, are bad. And what’s happened in back-to-back weeks certainly doesn’t help keep San Francisco out of the bottom ranks.

But what about the rest of the league?

Prime-time games certainly provided intrigue. And the rest of the league certainly offered up some discussion as this season gears up for an intriguing postseason.

Let’s kick this thing off with the winless Cleveland Browns, shall we?
