The playoff picture is getting clearer, the NFL draft order is forming, the final stretch of the 2025 NFL season is upon us, and it is shaping up to be a good one.
Last week, we had a new team at the top of the rankings, the sixth newcomer this season, no movement at the bottom of the barrel, including the woeful Atlanta Falcons, and a few teams that were thought to be out of the playoff race emerged as potential playoff contenders, including a dangerous-looking San Francisco 49ers team.
With the Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Chargers, Miami Dolphins, and Washington Commanders on a well-needed, late-season bye, let’s get into the new power rankings:
Welcome to the top of the power rankings, Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams. From a bad back for Matthew Stafford to forcing four back-breaking interceptions to secure the dub on Sunday, this Rams team has shown they are possibly the most complete team in the NFL, with the MVP front-runner in Stafford leading the charge.
How far can the Seahawks really fall after that game last week? I mean, sure, Sam Darnold turned into a bit of a pumpkin, but this defense is phenomenal and is set up to help Seattle make a deep playoff run come January.
MVP Josh Allen is back, and he carried the Bills to their 15th game with 40 or more points scored in the Allen era, 2nd only to the Dak Prescott-led Cowboys. Allen also continues to prove he is the ultimate weapon at QB, becoming the only player with 3 passing and rushing touchdowns in a single game.
Nice rest week for the Colts as they look for a statement win against the bully on the blocks in Kansas City.
Nasty loss to the Eagles, but I still think the Lions are one of the more complete builds in the NFL. A statement against a bottom-dwelling New York Giants team should do wonders in keeping the Lions in top five talks.
This is a team that drags you down to the sewer with them to fight. So, having Bo Nix make more than enough plays against a tough Kansas City defense should give Denver fans plenty to smile about.
Though they messed up the Winston 2025 debut, the Packers did find a way to win against the Giants and continue their fight at the top of the NFC North.
The Drake Maye hype train is on and chugging as New England continues to shock the world atop the AFC East. Next? Cincinnati.
The vibes are still low, but the talent level on this team is still too high to ignore....
