NFL Power Rankings: Final Regular Season Edition

Previous: 16th. Buffalo Bills. 16. team. 16. The Bills finished 9-7, their first winning season since 2004. That’s progress, but they still have the longest active playoff drought (1999). – ESPN. (9-7)

59. Dolphins fans must feel like they’re stuck in a long-term marriage with mediocrity at this point … going to Home Depot on the weekends, trampoline in the backyard and an Astrovan — complete with Bernie Parmalee bumper sticker — sitting in the driveway. Heard from many Miami fans this week on Twitter, and it is easy to understand the consternation surrounding another 8-8 campaign. Beat writer Omar Kelly knows what I’m talking about … – NFL. (8-8). Previous: 15th. Miami Dolphins. 15. team

14. team. 124. The Chiefs missed the playoffs, but how about some love for Justin Houston? His 22 sacks are tied for second most since the stat became official in 1982. – ESPN. (9-7). Previous: 14th. Kansas City Chiefs

13. team. 13. I was trying to rank the biggest disappointments/letdowns of the Chargers’ 9-7 season. OK, here goes … <p><b>1)</b> Ryan Mathews once again being Ryan Mathews after a one-year hiatus.<br /> <b>2)</b> Being forced to scour the local Joe’s Crab Shack for a center. (When it comes to San Diego seafood huts, I prefer Poseidon, but I digress.)<br /> <b>3)</b> Philip Rivers getting treated like the turkey in a Chiefs pass-rush sandwich.<br /> <b>4)</b> Jason Verrett sitting down in the cold tub more often than he sat down in zone coverage.<br /> <b>5)</b> Blown opportunities versus the Patriots in Week 14. ( Chargers fans like New England almost as much as Los Angeles.) – NFL</p>. (9-7). Previous: 13th. San Diego Chargers
