Tom Brady is high on the New England Patriots after their Week 5 upset win over the Buffalo Bills — but how high?
Well, Brady put the Patriots in the No. 10 spot in his latest NFL power rankings, which were shared Tuesday in a video posted to X by FOX Sports. Brady, who only ranked the top 10 teams, didn’t offer thoughts on the Patriots, as he reserved most of his commentary for teams in the top five.
Here are Brady’s top 10 teams:
1. Detroit Lions (4-1)
2. Philadelphia Eagles (4-1)
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-1)
4. Buffalo Bills (4-1)
5. Jacksonville Jaguars (4-1)
6. San Francisco 49ers (4-1)
7. Indianapolis Colts (4-1)
8. Denver Broncos (3-2)
9. Green Bay Packers (2-1-1)
10. New England Patriots (3-2)
The Patriots could surge up many power rankings over the next month, as their upcoming games are against the New Orleans Saints, Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns and Atlanta Falcons
That said, New England still has much to prove after its win over the Bills, who were complicit in their own demise last Sunday. If the Patriots take care of business against bad teams — something good teams do — then it will be time to take them seriously.
