NFL Power Rankings Week 15: Gauging the Week's Biggest Fallers

In our Week 15 NFL power rankings, the following teams fell the furthest:

Chicago Bears

The Bears are in free-fall mode without their two best offensive weapons. Over the last two games, the majority of which were spent without Jay Cutler and Matt Forte, the Bears offense has been painful to watch. They've scored a combined 13 points in two games.

Now the Bears find themselves on the outside looking in to the postseason picture. With games against Seattle and Green Bay left on the schedule, Chicago's 2011 season is being pushed to the brink.

Oakland Raiders

Rarely do you see an NFL team just lay down for an opponent, but that's exactly what we saw on Sunday in Green Bay by the Raiders. They fell down early to the best team in football and then just went through the motions.

46-16 was the end result—an embarrassment for Oakland and a loss that could be the dagger in their season. Down a game to the Broncos and behind the eight ball on tiebreakers, the Raiders are now a long-shot to make the postseason with three games left.   

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Is there a coach in the NFL that's getting a free pass more than Tampa Bay's Raheem Morris? What has he done in three seasons there? The Bucs aren't markedly better than they were when he took over this franchise.

Most coaches get less than three seasons (see: Todd Haley), and one 10-win season (no playoffs), thanks in part to an easy schedule, isn't enough to give you the kind of job security to feel comfortable after a season like this.
