NFL Power Rankings, post-Super Bowl edition: Patriots top our big board, but how does rest of the league shake out?

The 2018 season is done, so we're going to give you one last look back at how the 32 teams all stack up, as well as one burning question each team will have to address this offseason.

1. Patriots
Said this before, but it bears repeating: New England beat the Defensive Player of the Year, MVP (twice) and Coach of the Year this season. They were the only team that had to face all of those challenges, but they knocked them all off on the way to a sixth title. You can’t deny their championship bonafides.
Biggest offseason question: What does the future hold for Rob GronkowskI? The big tight end said he’s going to take a couple of weeks before he announces his decision, but whatever he does, he could end up setting the tone for the offseason.



2. Saints
We’d usually reserve this spot for the Super Bowl runner-up, but considering the way the NFC title game ended and the outcome of the Super Bowl, we’ll give this one to New Orleans.
Biggest offseason question: Other than speculating as to whether or not they can get past the no-call in the NFC championship, there’s the matter of their draft capital. Right now, they don’t have a first- or a third-round pick. Will they make a move to acquire more selections?

3. Rams
They made it to the Super Bowl, but we’re going to drop them a spot because of how things played out. It was a special year for Los Angeles, but the Rams laid an egg on the Super Bowl.
Biggest offseason question: Can they avoid the Curse of the Super Bowl Loser? The Patriots became the first team since the 1971-72 Dolphins to lose the Super Bowl one year, and then come back and win it the following season.
