Conference Championship NFL Power Rankings: How Do The Remaining Playoff Teams Stack Up?

4. Washington Commanders

Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders stunned the top-seeded Detroit Lions to advance to their first NFC Championship game since 1991. Once again, Daniels was calm, cool, and collected as he led the Washington offense up and down the field. Washington scored 45 points and punted once. The defense forced Jared Goff into four turnovers.

3. Philadelphia Eagles

Saquon Barkley dashed for 205 yards, including two scores of over 60 yards, and the Eagles still needed a last-second defensive stand to escape a furious push by the Los Angeles Rams. Jalen Carter’s sack on third down pushed Matthew Stafford into a low-odds, fourth-down conversation attempt.

Next up is a rubber match with the Washington Commanders. Injury concerns for quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee) and cornerback Quinyon Mitchell (shoulder) loom large.

2. Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills’ divisional round woes are over. The defense led the charge, forcing three turnovers, including a crucial Mark Andrews fumble in the fourth quarter.

A matchup with their playoff nemesis, Kansas City, is next. Is the fourth time the charm for Josh Allen?

1. Kansas City Chiefs

The officiating was the story of Kansas City’s divisional win over Houston. Officiating didn’t lead to eight sacks on C.J. Stroud. The Chiefs defense was dominant. Travis Kelce set a new playoff receiving record.

Kansas City is now one win away from another Super Bowl appearance (their fifth in six seasons) and two wins away from a three-peat.
