NFL power rankings: Ravens ranked No. 1 after Week 17

Going into the final week of the 2023 NFL regular season, the Baltimore Ravens have emerged as the clear No. 1 team in the league.

The Ravens took care of business against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, and the Cleveland Browns have a Wild Card berth secured after their victory over the New York Jets.

Following the Miami loss and another Buffalo Bills victory, the AFC East is up for grabs going into Week 18.

The AFC South, meanwhile, is wide open with the Indianapolis Colts (9-7), Jacksonville Jaguars (9-7) and Houston Texans (9-7) all alive going into the final week of the season.

The Kansas City Chiefs clinched the AFC West, and the Broncos were eliminated from playoff contention despite their win on Sunday.

Over in the NFC, the NFC East is also up for grabs as the Dallas Cowboys (11-5) and Philadelphia Eagles (11-5) will take it down to the wire.

The San Francisco 49ers (NFC West) and Detroit Lions (NFC North) have their respective divisions locked up, but the NFC South is still wide open. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-8), New Orleans Saints (8-8) and Atlanta Falcons (7-9) have still have a shot to win the division.

So with a lot left to be decided, here are our latest NFL power rankings ahead of the final week of the 2023 season.
