The NFL playoff race is far from settled—only the New Orleans Saints have clinched their division—but the picture is beginning to clarify.

With the Seattle Seahawks winning on Monday night, there are now five teams with a 10-2 record, and there are 19 sitting at .500 or below.

Seattle's win also dropped the San Francisco 49ers from the NFC's No. 1 seed to the fifth seed in a matter of hours.

So how does the NFL stack up with just a quarter of the season remaining? Here, we'll take a look at the current standings, some of the most interesting storylines coming out of Week 13 and power rankings for all 32 teams.

Bills Win, Patriots Lose

The Buffalo Bills embarrassed the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving, putting Dallas' title hopes into a tailspin. The dominant victory also moved Buffalo to 9-3 and just one game behind the New England Patriots in the AFC East.

The Bills are just a game back because the Patriots lost to the Houston Texans on Thursday night—in relatively one-sided fashion.

Buffalo will travel to take on the Patriots in Week 16, and there's a very real chance the game could decide the division. In the grand scheme of things, that fact alone is huge. The last time New England didn't win the AFC East was in 2008, when Tom Brady was sidelined with a torn ACL.

One could argue the Bills are the better team at this point in the season too. While both have a playoff-caliber defense, Buffalo's offense has started to make positive strides. When quarterback Josh Allen is playing efficient football—as he did while dropping 26 points on the Cowboys—Buffalo is hard to contain.

Brady and the Patriots, meanwhile, have averaged just 18 points per game over the past month and have labored to produce even that many. It's too early to call this a changing of the guard in the AFC East, but the possibility does exist.

The Ravens Are the Best Team in Football

OK, so there's no definitive proof that the Baltimore Ravens are the best team in the entire NFL. However, their win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday solidified them as the top team in the AFC and suggests they're at least playing the best football of anyone right now.

Baltimore hasn't lost since Week 4 and has started to flourish offensively. Quarterback Lamar Jackson is nearly unstoppable, and even the Baltimore defense—a maligned unit early in the season—has rounded into form.

The Ravens defense has allowed an average of just 12.6 points over its last five games.

Still, it's Jackson and his dual-threat ability that is concerning the Bills heading into Week 14.

"Very talented player," Bills head coach Sean McDermott said, per Matt Parrino of NewYorkUpstate.com. "I don’t think there's been a defense that's cracked the code to this point, so to speak."

Buffalo will host Baltimore in the early-afternoon slot on Sunday.

The Bengals Won a Game!

After coming close multiple times this season—they've lost by a touchdown or less six times, to be exact—the Cincinnati Bengals finally got into the win column in Week 13.

What's interesting is that Cincinnati actually dominated the New York Jets, who came in on a three-game winning streak. The Jets offense, which had scored 34 points per game during that streak, mustered a mere six against the Bengals.

While Cincinnati still has the NFL's worst record, it may no longer be the worst team in football. For at least a week, it's rising in the rankings above the New York Giants, who haven't won since Week 4 and who have some notable issues arising.

Perhaps the biggest issue for New York is that it's been far too easy for opposing defenses to contain running back Saquon Barkley. The second-overall pick in last year's draft has rushed for just 544 yards in nine games while averaging a pedestrian 4.0 yards per carry.

With rookie quarterback Daniel Jones struggling with turnovers—he has 21 in 11 games—Barkley's struggles have made it nearly impossible for the Giants to remain competitive.

The only problem for Cincinnati is that it's now in danger of losing out on the first overall pick in the 2020 draft.
