NFL Power Rankings: Biggest Risers Sure to Shock Everyone

There were so many shocks in Week 15 of the NFL season that most fans looked like they had been electrocuted.

Whether you were rooting for the favorite or prepared to see your favorite disappointing team fall flat, Week 15 threw everyone for a loop, including NFL players.

Here are the biggest risers who are sure to shock everybody down the stretch.

Note: The Indianapolis Colts weren't included because they aren't rising from the No. 32 spot with one win on the season. 

3. Washington Redskins (5-9)

Since winning three of their first four games, the Redskins had lost eight of their last nine games before Sunday's matchup with the New York Giants.

The Redskins surprised Eli Manning and company by picking him off three times en route to a 23-10 victory.

Make no mistake about it, most of the blame should be placed squarely on Manning's shoulders. 

2. Philadelphia Eagles (6-8)

With two more games remaining this season, the Eagles are actually mathematically in the playoff picture.

They've been a massive disappointment for most of the season, but they've now won their last two games after defeating the New York Jets in Week 15 by a score of 45-19.

Starting quarterback Michael Vick looked better in this game, passing for 274 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Running back LeSean McCoy was outstanding as usual. Meanwhile, the Eagles defense forced four turnovers.

As for the Jets, they need to find out if they care about making the playoffs. 

1. Kansas City Chiefs (6-8)

Head coach Todd Haley gets fired and the Chiefs all of a sudden defeat the previously-undefeated Green Bay Packers.

Amazing how getting rid of Grizzly Adams can help your team.

The Chiefs looked like a completely different team in Week 15, and the defense somehow limited the Packers to 14 points.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had his worst performance of the season by far, going 17-of-35 for 235 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, Chiefs quarterback Kyle Orton was a breath of fresh air from Tyler Palko.

After so much embarrassment this season, the Chiefs should be proud of their performance in Week 15.
