The NFL's Week 14 schedule ended last night with the Chicago ears dismantling the Dallas owboys on Monday Night Football. With the league starting to move toward Week 15, it's time for an updated set of NFL Power Rankings.

As always, feel free to tell us who is too high or too low in the comments.

	Team	LW	Change	Week 14 Result	Remarks
1	Broncos (11-2)	3	+2	W, 51-28 vs Tennessee	Look who finds their way back to the top of the power rankings, thanks to another 50+ point game.
2	49ers (9-4)	5	+3	W, 19-17 vs Seattle	Good win over division leading Seattle. But, don't stand up in Candlestick Park.
3	Seahawks (11-2)	1	-2	L, 19-17 at San Francisco	What a difference - and home vs road game - makes.
4	Patriots (10-3)	4	--	W, 27-26 vs Cleveland	New England was gifted a win they shouldn't have had.
5	Saints (10-3)	6	+1	W, 31-13 vs Carolina	If New Orleans could play every game in the Super Dome, they would be unbeatable.
6	Bengals (9-4)	7	+1	W, 42-28 vs Indianapolis	Indy may be slipping, but putting up 42 points like that was impressive.
7	Eagles (8-5)	8	+1	W, 34-20 vs Detroit	Nick Foles threw an interception. The world, however, did not end - though it was trying to freeze in this game.
8	Panthers (9-4)	2	-6	L, 31-13 at New Orleans	Maybe a bit of an overreaction on the drop for one of the hottest teams in the league, but New Orleans sure took it to Carolina.
9	Chiefs (10-3)	11	+2	W, 45-10 at Washington	How do you cure a three-game losing streak? Visit Washington.
10	Cardinals (8-5)	12	+2	W, 30-10 vs St. Louis	San Francisco's win over Seattle is all that stood between Arizona and a claim at the final Wildcard spot in the NFC.
11	Lions (7-6)	10	-1	L, 34-20 at Philadelphia	Calvin Johnson's white washing was enough of a punishment for Detroit playing in those conditions.
12	Ravens (7-6)	13	+1	W, 29-26 vs Minnesota	Possible the most insane game imaginable, and the sixth lead change in the fourth quarter was the one that won it for Baltimore.
13	Bears (7-6)	16	+3	W, 45-28 vs Dallas	Crushed, and that may be an understatement, Dallas on Mike Ditka night.
14	Colts (8-5)	9	-5	L, 42-28 at Cincinnati	Well, that's not the way you normall clinch a division title. And, it's certainly not going to lend itself to celebrating that title.
15	Dolphins (7-6)	17	+2	W, 34-28 at Pittsburgh	Miami ran and threw the ball well on Sunday. They almost stood and watched the last play well, also.
16	Packers (6-6-1)	20	+4	W, 22-21 vs Atlanta	Aaron Rodgers could be coming back soon. Doesn't that mean Matt Flynn will be cut and signed to a big contract somewhere else?
17	Cowboys (7-6)	14	-3	L, 45-28 at Chicago	May have wanted Mike Ditka to put back on his Cowboys jersey.
18	Buccaneers (4-9)	22	+4	W, 27-6 vs Buffalo	Started 0-8. Won 4 of last 5. Greg Schiano is either a genius, or the luckiest man alive.
19	Titans (5-8)	15	-4	L, 51-28 at Denver	Mike Munchak is coaching for his job. Giving up 51 points isn't the statement you want to put forward.
20	Giants (5-8)	18	-2	L, 37-14 at San Diego	Tom Coughlin isn't on the hot seat despite missing the playoffs for the fourth time in five years. Can that be right?
21	Browns (4-9)	21	--	L, 27-26 at New England	That pass interference call was questionable at best, and they aren't going to be penalized in the power rankings because the refs gifted New England a win.
22	Rams (5-8)	19	-3	L, 30-10 at Arizona	An 10th straight non-winning season was clinched with this loss.
23	Jaguars (4-9)	24	+1	W, 27-20 vs Houston	Continuing to Chad Henne their way into wins.
24	Chargers (6-7)	25	+1	W, 37-14 vs New York Giants	A good win to keep the playoff hopes alive in Southern California.
25	Steelers (5-8)	23	-2	L, 34-28 vs Miami	One step out of bounds killed any playoff hopes.
26	Jets (6-7)	28	+2	W, 37-27 vs Oakland	Geno Smith looked more comfortable this week than he has the last few weeks, and he was able to power New York past a poor defensive performance.
27	Vikings (3-9-1)	26	-1	L, 29-26 at Baltimore	Looks like they probably dodged a serious injury to Adrian Peterson.
28	Bills (4-9)	27	-1	L, 27-6 at Tampa Bay	EJ Manuel is drowning in the Bills offense.
29	Falcons (3-10)	29	--	L, 22-12 at Green Bay	Trying everything they can at this point to be competitive in games, but still get the top overall pick in May's Draft.
30	Raiders (4-9)	30	--	L, 37-27 at New York Jets	A defensive minded head coach with a defense that consistently collapses is not a good situation.
31	Redskins (3-10)	31	--	L, 45-10 vs Kansas City	Mike Shanahan is doing everything he can at this point to get out of Washington.
32	Texans (2-11)	32	--	L, 27-20 at Jacksonville	Eleven L's in a row equals Gary Kubiak's job.
