IT'S A FINAL! Congrats to the Kansas City Chiefs for their Super Bowl win over the Philadelphia Eagles! It seems like yesterday that it was summer time and we were begging the NFL season to start. Now it's over and it's time to rank all 32 teams one more time, once and for all, with our absolute final NFL power rankings. But before we list our Final NFL Power Rankings lets take a quick look back at the season.
The Buffalo Bills started as the preseason favorite to win it all. Before the season ended, Damar Hamlin's grave health scare made us all Bills fans. Speaking of injuries, Tua suffered multiple concussions and yet the Dolphins limped into the postseason after an 8-3 start. Pittsburgh was dreadful but Mike Tomlin figured a way to avoid his first ever losing season. The Titans slid off the map and the Jags turned out to be pretty decent. And the Colts... well, I'm not sure what to say about them this season.
Speaking of disasters, the Raiders blew more three-score leads than I can remember. KC is still good as long as Patrick Mahomes is there. And let's not forget about Joe Burrow and the Bengals and how they are poised to make another Super Bowl run.
In the NFC, the Cowboys tried to make a run at them but something isn't quite right with that team. Tom Brady's career ends with a losing record. The Vikings love the nail-biters and the Lions were busy biting knee-caps. The Rams repeat bid was a disaster and Mr. Irrelevant gave the 49ers some excitement.
It's been a crazy, crazy season. And we loved every minute of it. So, one more time, here's our Absolute Final NFL Power Rankings for the Shemon and Sheppard Show on ESPN Southwest Florida. Enjoy and feel free to share.
32. CHICAGO BEARS
It's Justin Fields and everybody else. What will they do with that draft pick???
31. HOUSTON TEXANS
One bright spot to this season is they get a bright mind like DeMeco Ryans.
30. ARIZONA CARDINALS
Will a new coach make an immediate difference, especially if Kyler Murray is out long?
29. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
Some nice pieces but a rudderless ship.
28. DENVER BRONCOS
Not great. How long will it take for Sean Payton to turn them around?
27. LOS ANGELES RAMS
This window shut in a hurry. Can they open it one more time?
26. LAS VEGAS RAIDERS
Directionless at the moment.
25. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
Not sure why Jameis Winston did not play more.
24. ATLANTA FALCONS
Not great. But in the NFC South, who knows?
23. CAROLINA PANTHERS
Rebuilding again.
22. CLEVELAND BROWNS
Paper champs. Nice roster. No results.
21. TENNESSEE TITANS
These guys could go either way next year.
20. NEW YORK JETS
Just a QB away, right?
19. GREEN BAY PACKERS
Now their QB can go "find" himself. He might find another team.
18. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
They squeezed what they could out of this roster.
17. WASHINGTON COMMANDERS
Yikes.
16. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
Farewell to Tom Brady. We will see what the future brings.
15. PITTSBURGH STEELERS
Mike Tomlin is one heck of a coach!!!
14. BALTIMORE RAVENS
They did what they could with the QB situation.
13. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
Nice turn around by a solid QB-Coach Combo.
12. NEW YORK GIANTS
An over-achieving year!
11. DETROIT LIONS
Solid effort by "Man" Campbell! A winning record in Motown!
10. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
Pete Carroll got them further that I'd thought they'd go.
9. MIAMI DOLPHINS
Nice season but everything hinges on Tua's health.
8. DALLAS COWBOYS
I'm just not sure if they can go all the way.
7. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS
Justin Herbert will be a winner.
6. MINNESOTA VIKINGS
Hot offense. Cool Defense.
5. CINCINNATI BENGALS
As long as they have Joe Burrow they have a chance!
4. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
This team is built to win now.
3. BUFFALO BILLS
They may get their next year.
2. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
1. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
Well, they won it all! What else is there to say?

The Price of Beer at Every NFL Stadium
The 2022 NFL Season is upon us and it's time to plan those game day trips. And when watching the NFL, beer is part of that budget. Maybe you plan to catch a game at an out of town stadium? Maybe I’m in Estero and every NFL stadium is out of town for me? That’s actually a lot more true. How much is an Uber round trip to Tampa?
If you're looking for the 2023 data on NFL beer prices, you'll find that here.
So what about grabbing a beer at an out of town ballpark? Por que no los dos? But how much is it? Every year, sports business data firm Team Marketing Report releases its NFL Fan Cost Index and what they found, the price of beer varies greatly across the stadiums. Statista has really good data on this, too. And the price of a beer seems to be totally unrelated to how good the team is. A beer at a Jaguars game is double what they charge in Cincinnati at a Bengals game.. They could charge more. The Dolphins charge $11 which is why I show up drunk.
Maybe a lower priced option should be available? The Washington Commanders have no business charging for beer at all. They should make beer free to anyone willing to buy a ticket. And the beer should be brought to me. With peanuts. Enough with the conjecture. Let’s analyze the price of beer at each of the NFL stadiums. Keep in mind that inflation is running pretty hot and I'm writing this on August 4th. They may raise the prices even more.
Pretty simple, team name, price for a small draft beer (or smallest and cheapest beer available), fun picture. And a bonus at the end, was the segment from Fox DC5 who were quite upset by the findings.
Lions $5
The Lions actually have a whole thing called the Power Hour with even cheaper beers.
Falcons $5
From what I'm hearing, the Falcons have very fan friendly pricing on many of their concessions.
Jets $5
Bengals $5.27
This may have gone up. Until the season starts we'll not know for sure.
Texans $6
Ravens $6.50
Browns $6.50
Cardinals $6.50
Broncos $7.50
Colts $8
Chiefs $8.50
Raiders $9
Steelers $9.29
Cowboys $9.50
Packers $9.50
Vikings $10
Titans $10.50
Panthers $10.50
Seahawks $10.50
I've heard reports of a couple of stands where you can find cheaper beers. Will update once confirmed.
Patriots $10.50
Eagles $11
Giants $11
I'm hearing that once the losses pile up, beer prices come down. Giants fans should be paying 5 bucks into the season.
Dolphins $11
Bears $11
Maybe they could use some of that money to fix the field?
Chargers $11
Bills $11
Rams $11
Jaguars $11.50
49ers $11.50
Saints $11.50
Buccaneers $11.50
Commanders $14
Wait, what?
Yes, the team from Washington has the highest priced "cheapest" beer. A team that hasn't finished above .500 in 5 years. They did make the playoffs in 2020 when they won the East with a 7-9 record. I am hearing that their cheapest beer is a tall boy. So that's something.

Thanks guys!
