There are just two weeks remaining in the NFL regular seasons and the New England Patriots have returned to the top spot following a Green Bay Packers loss to the Buffalo Bills last weekend.

Behind the Patriots at the top of the latest NFL power rankings are the two Super Bowl teams from a year ago — the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks.
The Dallas Cowboys also made up some ground following Week 15, thanks to a win over the division rival Philadelphia Eagles.
At the opposite end of the rankings, we have the Oakland Raiders bringing up the rear along with the Tennessee Titans.
