Herd Hierarchy Week 17: Who Replaced Rams at No. 1? Are The Jaguars for Real?

Can the Bills finally reach the Super Bowl? Are the Rams still the NFL's top team? Just how good are the Jaguars, Texans and Seahawks?

Those questions, and more, were answered by Colin Cowherd in the most recent edition of the "Herd Hierarchy."

"They were 4-of-5 in the red zone, and teams had struggled all year against the Broncos in the red zone. Six-game winning streak, hard
