By Josh Hill
The FanSided.com editorial team has updated their NFL Power Rankings as we prepare to enter the final week of the 2014-15 regular season.
There is just one week left in the NFL regular seasons and the New England Patriots have managed to remain the best team in football after a big loss by the Denver Broncos.

What the loss for the Broncos does is clinch home field advantage for the Patriots in the AFC side of the playoffs, but over in the NFC things are a little more convoluted. The Philadelphia Eagles fell a bit in the rankings, but they still rank above most of the teams still alive in the AFC playoff picture.
That loss by the Broncos dropped them out of the Top 5, and propelled four teams from the NFC into the top of the power rankings with that fall for Denver being the worst of this week.
