The middle of the pack in the NFL is a jumbled mess, and the past few weeks haven't provided much clarity. Even with bizarre results each week, the outlook remains mostly the same.
There were certainly disappointing showings from Week 13, from the Washington Redskins to Minnesota Vikings to Houston Texans. Each of these teams had a chance to put itself in good position for the playoffs but came up short in different ways. Despite the failures, it's hard to drop any of them too far based on equal struggles from other squads.
That isn't to say there wasn't some movement in the latest power rankings.
