Niner Noise dishes out our NFL power rankings heading into Week 14. Which teams are getting hot at the right time, and which ones are in free fall after last week’s games?

Eight or nine weeks ago, we would have all pegged the Kansas City Chiefs as the best in NFL power rankings. And the Denver Broncos were going to be relatively close to the top, thanks to their great defense.

Heading into Week 14, though, both teams are in ultimate free-fall mode, while teams like the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers are on the upswing.

Heck, even the San Francisco 49ers got in on the winning action last week.

There are easily a few teams having all but wrapped up a ticket to the postseason as the NFL hits its stretch run. But with a sizable number of others hovering at or around the .500 mark and still in the hunt, these final weeks should be quite interesting.

Using last week’s Niner Noise NFL power rankings as a reference, paired with the results from last week, let’s break down where all 32 teams stand heading into Week 14.

Are the Chiefs going to be that bad down the stretch? It sure looks like it. But what about some of the risers and surprises? Who should we start to watch?

If there’s one team with little reason to watch, it’s the Cleveland Browns. Let’s start there.
