HR 2: Honoring the Playoff-Eliminated Teams, Week 15 Power Rankings

We have officially entered the final push for the playoffs, so Tom and Jacob play Taps for the teams unfortunate enough that have been mathematically eliminated, and they rank their top ten teams heading into the fifteenth week of the season.

The Steelers seemingly have their backs up against the wall this week in Philadelphia. Saquon Barkley and AJ Brown are as talented as any offensive duo in the NFL, plus the Eagles have arguably the most balanced defensive roster in the league. It will take big time efforts from Russell Wilson and Cam Heyward to thwart the Eagles talent on both sides of the football.

Odell Beckham Jr was just waived by the Miami Dolphins so which playoff team is the most likely to add the veteran wide receiver. Bill Belichick is officially going to be the next head coach for the UNC Tar Heels Football Team. This week's 1 o'clock window is extremely weak but is made up for with Bills/Lions and Bucs/Chargers at 4 o'clock and Packers/Seahawks on Sunday night . Tom and Jacob share who they got in their Triple Play and they pick a winner for Steelers/Eagles.

Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley have led the Eagles to the number one rushing offense in the league and if the Steelers want a shot of keeping up with Russell Wilson and company on Sunday, they must slow down Philly's run game. Once again Mike Tomlin and the Steelers were the stars and focal point of the second episode of AFC North Hard Knocks.

There were plenty of positive take aways from the Steelers victory over the Browns especially the play of Cam Heyward and Russell Wilson. Even though the Steelers got the W, George Pickens missed the game and could miss more time down the stretch which could be detrimental for the offense.

Chris Boswell's consistency has become more and more valuable with every week as he went perfect again and his opponent for the Browns missed two field goals on Sunday. The Steelers ha a massive break go their way in the 4 o'clock window when the Bills lost to the Rams on the road, but the feel good moment quickly disappeared when later on Sunday Night Football the Chiefs snuck away with another win against the Chargers.

Russell Wilson needs to channel his offensive prowess that he displayed last week in Cincinnati instead of the performance he had in Cleveland two weeks ago when it took until the fourth quarter for him to come alive. TJ Watt typically steps up in AFC North matchups but the last time the Steelers faced the Browns it was Myles Garrett who was the best edge rusher, so TJ needs to bounce back in a big way this week.
