The Herd Hierarchy Week 15: Rams Reign as NFL's Most Complete Team

Colin Cowherd analyzes the holistic strength of NFL teams heading into Week 15, ranking the Los Angeles Rams as the most complete team in the league.

Colin Cowherd has answers to the week's biggest questions: Are the Rams the most complete team? Did the Texans dethrone the Chiefs after Sunday Night Football? How severely did Jalen Hurts' performance damage the Eagles?

Cowherd's rankings aren't about recent performance or win-loss records. They measure where each NFL team stands holistically—factoring in quality of opposition beaten, health status, and ceiling for the remainder of the season.

Here's the Herd Hierarchy top 10 heading into Week 15.

10. Buffalo Bills

They've won 10 straight home games in December and January and Josh Allen has a career-high completion percentage and yards per attempt this season. They'll go as far as Josh Allen can take them. The best quarterback in the world is Josh Allen.

9. Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers are now 5-0 in primetime this season. They're a big-stage team. 13-4 under Jim Harbaugh in the second half of the season. That's remarkable with their injuries. They have a great pass defense. Best in the league since Week 8. Between the head coach and Justin Herbert, they're in every single game.

8. San Francisco 49ers

I can't even figure the Niners out. How in the world do they have the No. 1 scoring defense since Week 11? They've got five wins by 10-plus or more points since Week 7. That's tied for the NFL lead. They don't get penalized.

7. Houston Texans

Texans have the best defense in the league. Five-game winning streak, eight of 10. I do like C.J. Stroud. They have played the fourth-hardest schedule in the league. So, they're battle-tested. No. 1 scoring defense. DeMeco Ryans is one of the sharp young defensive coaches in this league. That Houston defense is no fun to play.

6. Chicago Bears

They lead the NFL in turnover differential. They run the football. They can win time of possession. Caleb's lack of accuracy, I think you've got to live with that because he's so dynamic.

5. Seattle Seahawks

I don't think they're a Super Bowl team yet. It'll take another year. They're tied for the fewest sacks allowed.

4. Denver Broncos

The Broncos' roster is more experienced and I get offensive coach Sean Payton. Tied for the most sacks, and then the fewest allowed. You can't get to their quarterback. They always get to yours.

3. Green Bay Packers

Best third-down offense. Tied for the fewest giveaways. They're a very smart, clean, young team. I love that Christian Watson is healthy. Because Jordan Love—like a Sam Darnold—loves to throw a deep ball and throws a brilliant deep ball. I thought the Micah trade was brilliant.

2. New England Patriots

10-0 when Christian Gonzalez plays, their elite corner. Ten-game winning streak. They've played the easiest schedule in the NFL. That needs to be noted.

1. Los Angeles Rams

The Rams stand alone atop the hierarchy as the NFL's most complete team.

Boy, was Davante Adams a steal? Leads the NFL with 14 touchdowns. Puka Nacua, by the way, is averaging the most receiving yards per game in NFL history with 91. Tight ends, quarterback, head coach, running back, O-line. They have no weakness offensively, other than Matthew Stafford's mobility.
