With two weeks left in the 2016 NFL regular season, playoff contenders in the NFC and AFC are jostling for seeding and those coveted first-round byes. Meanwhile, a few hopefuls may be playing themselves out of the postseason.

Yet even as the playoffs approach, the NFL always comes down to this simple hierarchy: If any two given teams played, who would win? That’s what fans really want to know, that’s what power rankings are all about, and that’s how the 32 NFL teams are slotted here each week.

32. Cleveland Browns
Nothing to see here, folks.
