The 2025-26 NFL regular season ends this week, and for some teams, this season has been over since October. With plenty of teams failing to live up to preseason expectations, while others far exceeded them, it has been yet another year of unpredictable football, but it has been fun to track all of it in ClutchPoints’ NFL Power Rankings.
Playoff seeding and one spot in each conference were up for grabs this week, as there were still a few matchups that held weight to settle the playoff bracket. Check out the final NFL Power Rankings of the 2025-26 NFL regular season to see where your team lands.
It was an easy, 19-3 over the Los Angeles Chargers that helped power the Denver Broncos to the top seed in the AFC playoff race. Finishing the regular season with a 14-3 record, Denver is riding a hot streak, having won 12 of their last 13 games, as the Broncos find themselves in the top spot of this week’s NFL Power Rankings.
The Broncos now get to sit back and rest up for a week, having earned the lone bye in the AFC playoff picture. Facing an LAC team resting most of their key starters, Bo Nix threw for 141 yards, as no offensive skill player recorded more than 49 receiving or rushing yards in an easy win.

After entering the season with many doubting their postseason hopes, Mike Macdonald has his team earning a bye in the tough NFC playoff picture, cementing the Seahawks as one of the teams to beat.
The New England Patriots dropping down two spots in this week’s NFL Power Rankings is because of the finalized playoff seedings, definitely not because a 28-point win over the Miami Dolphins wasn’t good enough.
TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson both ran for two touchdowns in the 38-10 win, with Stevenson finding the end zone three total times. A heavy dosage of the run game made things easy for Drake Maye, as the Patriots will play host to the Chargers in Wild Card weekend.
A 41-7 win over the Tennessee Titans locked up the AFC South division title for the Jacksonville Jaguars, as they now march into the AFC playoffs as the third seed. Trevor Lawrence threw for 255 yards and three touchdowns in the win, connecting with Parker Washington...
