NFL Power Rankings Week 16: Philadelphia Gets A HUGE Victory In New York

NFL Power Rankings Week 16: 3. Philadelphia Eagles (10-4) - Last Week's Rank: 5

Why They Moved Up: The Eagles all but won the NFC East with their victory over the Giants in week 15. They swept the season series, which puts them two games ahead with two left to play. A win this weekend, or a Giants loss, and Philly wins the East.

They pulled off one of the most miraculous comebacks that you will ever see, capped off by DeSean Jackson's "walk-off" punt return.

This team is dangerous and they are really playing well offensively. Michael Vick is making a late push to be the MVP.

They can get a first-round bye if they win out and the Bears lose a game in the final two weeks. Either way, this Eagles team will be very tough to beat.
