Arizona Sports NFL Power Rankings Week 15: How about them Bills?

Fourteen weeks down, three to go.

Week 14 offered up some good ones. The Buffalo Bills keep rolling along after their convincing 26-15 win over the sinking Pittsburgh Steelers. As a result, the Bills have risen to No. 2 in this week’s pecking order.

The Baltimore Ravens were fighting for their playoff lives Monday night and came through in dramatic fashion. Lamar Jackson’s emergence from the locker room to spell the injured Trace McSorley was theatre, but not as theatric as him directing two scoring drives in the last minute of a 47-42 win.

There’s something special about this team.

Three games away from infamy.
