NFL rankings: January 18, 2022

Below are Badger Bracketology’s NFL rankings after the first round of the playoffs. Green Bay falls to 5th place, largely because they had a first round playoff bye and lost an opportunity to add a win to their record this past weekend. All teams in the playoffs are in boldface.
