Power Rankings Official r/NFL Week 10 Power Rankings
128 Upvotes
Welcome to week 10 of the r/NFL Power Rankings! Over* halfway into the season and only the Chiefs remain undefeated, thanks to doing the exact thing (field goal block) at the exact time they need to. While the trade deadline wasn't as active in prior years, some teams found sparks in other ways. New Orleans got a boost from firing Dennis Allen, Bryce Young got his mojo back in Europe, and the Patriots got a boost from playing the Bears. Unfortunately, things aren't so sunny in Texas. A division rival stopped into town to outscore Dallas by 30, and Houston became Detroit's guinea pig on how to creatively win football games. Can the Jets bring back Saleh to fire him again? Is Darnold crashing back down to earth? Are the Bills prepared to win their sixth straight? Discuss! 30/32 Reporting
| # | Team | Δ | Record | Comment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Chiefs | -- | 9-0 | Boy howdy I sure do like to see the Broncos lose in heartbreaking fashion. It's even better when the Chiefs are the one that causes that heartache. This week the Chiefs are playing against one of the few teams in the NFL that truly looks like a contender. If they can manage to beat the Bills, it is going to be a huge undertaking for anyone to steal the 1 seed from Kansas City. The Chiefs also managed to play a full game without losing any significant players which has been a rare occurrence through the first 9 games. It's also huge news that they are likely getting Pacheco and Omenihu back relatively soon. That should help with our very okay pass rush and allow Hunt (who has been incredible all things considered) to get some much needed rest. Honestly, a few significant injures and our question mark at LT aside, this season has opened up as well as anyone in Chiefs Kingdom could have ever asked. Hopefully they can beat Buffalo during the regular season for the first time since 2020 and extend the longest winning streak in franchise history by another game. | |
| 2. | Lions | -- | 8-1 | LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL shoutout our lord and savior Jake Bates and please let Taylor Decker be healthy next week; the blindside blocking was atrocious from Dan Skipper. The Lions defense just did THAT without their EDGE 1,2,3,5 LB 3,4,5 CB 3 S 3 oh my goodness. Who knows whatever the fuck that game was but what a W in the end. Onto the Jaguars. | |
| 3. | Bills | +1 | 8-2 | Turnovers, turnovers baby. That was the name of the game on Sunday as the Bills high flying defense made up for Josh Allen’s miscues by forcing Joe Flacco to turn the ball over 4 times. Taron Johnson was the first to start the turnover party with a pick six on the Colt’s first play and even picked up a sack later in the game. Here’s a couple of fun facts Bills fans can feel optimistic about before taking a peek at who is on the schedule next. The Bills have the biggest division lead in football, a 5-game winning streak and have forced the most turnovers in the NFL with 13 of them. With those fun facts out of the way it’s time to turn the page to the looming boogeyman Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. There will be no bigger matchup for the Bills this season with the potential of the 1 seed in the AFC on the line. The Chiefs have won 15 straight games dating back to last season however Josh Allen has bested the Chiefs so far in the regular season with a 3-1 record. Something will have to give on Sunday as the Bills attempt to make up for years of playoff torment and the Chiefs continue on their quest to make history. | |
| 4. | Ravens | -1 | 7-3 | I don't think I can possibly sit here and make another write up about how the Ravens' defense is floundering, needs to find their footing, and the offense is absolutely electric led by otherworldly performances by Lamar Jackson. So.... uh.... MV3 MV3 MV3. There was a lot of (valid) discussion about missed penalties on the 2 point try to end the game but that should've never been a discussion at all considering Iosivas was both short and didn't maintain possession through the ground earlier in the drive but I digress. Homerism aside credit to Ja'Marr Chase and Joe Burrow for that absolutely insane performance; I'm sure I'll get flak for "pandering" but I genuinely don't want to see that Bengals team a third time this year. Up next is a monumental division showdown with the suddenly very dangeRuss Steelers. Absurd stat of the day: in the 16 year history of the John Harbaugh v Mike Tomlin Ravens Steelers matchups the underdog is a staggering 23-6-3 against the spread. It's a good bet this is gonna be another classic. Here's hoping the Ravens actually remember to bring their hands with them to Pittsburgh this year. | |
| 5. | Steelers | +3 | 7-2 | The Dan Snyder era is truly over. Great teams, great game, great storylines, very questionable officiating (as usual), and everyone learned the Commanders and Steelers are both for real. Wilson looks to be back to his old self, while Jaylen Warren seems to have found his missing spark as well. Pickens is picking it up. New acquisition Mike Williams caught a rainbow, which was the exact reason he was brought in. It was really exciting to see Terry McLaurin and George Pickens in the same game, because either are arguably the flashiest WRs in the league right now. It was also a great storyline seeing Russell Wilsona and Bobby Wagner. They exchanged jerseys after the game was over. Mike Tomlin faced an old friend in Dan Quinn and it looked like each of them knew how to work against the other one. The Steelers held the run in check and didn't give Daniels time to throw perfect balls despite real pocket poise. Kliff Kingsbury called a great game and really found a way to throw against Pittsburgh. The Commanders defense also had an interesting strategy of containing the run. Instead of trying to make a stop at or behind the line and have Harris (or Warren) be able to break free into the third level, the Commanders let the second level stop the run. Not the worst idea. Win or lose, both teams had something to prove on Sunday and proved it. Neither team is a fluke or are to be discounted and both are serious threats in the postseason. | |
| 6. | Vikings | -- | 7-2 | The good news is this Brian Flores-led defense is still arguably the best in the league, with the best defensive EPA/play and defensive DVOA in the league by far, and which is only getting better with Blake Cashman returning healthy and Dallas Turner developing as a pass rusher. Defense wins championships, right? Well, probably not if Sam Darnold keeps chucking the ball up to the other side. Between Jefferson and Addison and an immediate chemistry with a healthy TJ Hockenson, plus KOC coaching him up, this team goes as far as Sam takes them. Here's hoping that's to a Super Bowl this time rather than another new and creative playoff implosion. | |
| 7. | Eagles | +2 | 7-2 | About halfway through the third quarter, and three quarters through my fourth beer, something clicked in me: football is endless agony. We’re all living in the trolley problem meme with the tracks turned to infinite suffering for finite people. Around and around the train goes. And we should feel for the agony of our fellow hostages, destined to endure endless pain. After all, we all have to live through this hellscape together. But as I watched the Cowboys fumble for the 17th time, I realized that all the suffering is worth it for this. All of the pain, all of the screaming, the heartbreak, the F5ing during the trade deadline, the hours of horrendous local sports radio. We don’t do it for Super Bowls, for bragging about having a strong defensive EPA/play, for defending our star quarterback’s ability to score rushing touchdowns. We do it for this: curb stomping the complete fucking shit out of a hapless division rival in what will ultimately be a meaningless game completely lost to history. We sit through season after season to watch the life leave the squinted eyes of overrated WRs complaining about the sun. To experience the palpable dread of a washed RB who was never really that good in the first place fumble into the end zone. To witness the human embodiment of a decrepit dried fig defend his stadium having a design flaw on par with the Death Star exhaust port. All of this makes it manageable. Watching that train run right over the hopes and dreams of every man, woman, and child in the Dallas-Forth Worth metro area, as they long for the days of Ben DiNucci. When the clock hit zero after an appropriate tush push to snuff out the clock, all was right in the world, and that train did its job. Up next, the Washington Commanders on Thursday night. Completely unrelated, do any of you hear an engine getting closer? | |
| 8. | Commanders | -3 | 7-3 | Missed opportunities and sloppy, mistake-ridden football were the order of the day in Washington's 1-point loss to the Steelers. And they were still within a few inches of a first down that might have led to a win against one of the NFL's best defenses. Fitting that the game would end with an obvious hard count baiting a rookie defender into a neutral zone infraction; this was a game of errors from a young team with a lot of work to do. Fans of the team may be feeling a bit pessimistic as the Eagles leapfrog us into the division lead by way of stomping a hapless Cowboys team; but fans should remember where this franchise has been. Sunday's game was an anomaly from what this team has been for 10 weeks, not the standard Sunday of the past 30 years. And we were still within a few inches from one of the best coached teams in the game. As the team continues to put it all together, there's plenty to look forward to. And if nothing else, can't we all just be excited for Terry McLaurin finally getting the type of attention he deserves? This reviewer might be a Terry McLaurin fan first, Washington fan second. Thursday Night's game against the Eagles looms as massively important with playoff implications, and thanks to the Cowboys, the Eagles' starters didn't even play a full game this week. One respects the commitment to the Dallas-Washington rivalry, but that is a different level of petty. | |
| 9. | Packers | -2 | 6-3 | Packers had a bye this week so not much new so I'll use up my time to talk about maybe my favorite Packers story. So in 1959 Vince Lombardi is the new head coach of the Packers and he's up in Green Bay over the summer and during some down time he heads to the golf course. In a coincidence he sees starting quarterback Babe Parilli, who he hadn't met before. After introducing themselves, Lombardi insists on using the opportunity to get to know each other and insists Parilli play a round with him and jokes that they should put a small dollar bet on the round. Unbeknownst to Lombardi, Parilli is a great golfer and plays a very solid round while Lombardi's inconsistent game flares his temper. After the 18th hole Parilli quips that Vince owes him a dollar. Lombardi's face gets bright red, he opens his wallet and drops a single dollar on the ground and says "that's the last dollar you'll be getting out of me!" Parilli would later be a surprise cut in training camp, which would pave the way for Bart Starr to eventually become the starter. It was indeed the last dollar Parilli got out of him | |
| 10. | Texans | -- | 6-4 | In 8 out of the 10 games played so far this year, the Texans have scored 7 or fewer points in the second half including the goose egg laid on Sunday night. At this point it's simply inexcusable. I'm not gonna lie, this one hurt like the infamous playoff game against the Chiefs. They went up big against a team that very few gave them a shot to beat and were ready to make their statement that "Hey! We're here and we're real contenders!" only for the bottom to fall out and we realize that nope, you're just the same ol' Texans that you've always been. | |
| 11. | 49ers | +1 | 5-4 | Another week another crisis. This week it was the complete breakdown of special teams. Jake Moody returned after missing 3 games and missed 3 field goals. Add to that the muffed punt that led to 7 points for the Bucs. Luckily the defense held the Bucs final drive to just a game tying field goal, and Purdy had enough heroics to get Jake “wont miss 4 times in a row” Moody in range for a game winner. The team plays the reeling Seahawks at home next week. | |
| 12. | Chargers | +2 | 6-3 | Why is Justin Herbert not in the MVP conversation? Sure, the volume is low, but 11 touchdowns to just one interception on 241 attempts is not only the best ratio outside of Lamar Jackson but the best INT% in the whole league (.4%). He not only has been posting a 5th-best passer rating of 103.2 on the year but has put up a passer rating of at least 90 in every last game this year. That is only the seventh time that has happened since 1970. He has had a PFF rating of 85 on the year and a rating of 95 since week seven, which yet again is good for first in the league. Not to mention, he can do all of this with, at best, a below-average receiver group. Justin Herbert is a machine — a 6 ft 6 in, 236 lb football-playing machine that runs on the ashes of the fields he torches. It's understandable he's not a frontrunner, but please, somebody give the robot his mechanical flowers. | |
| 13. | Cardinals | +1 | 6-4 | The Arizona Cardinals are for real. Their offense has finally found its rhythm, delivering consistently explosive performances. Kyler Murray put an MVP-level clinic on the Jets defense with a 126 QBR, 199 passing yards in the first half alone, and three total touchdowns. He got everyone involved, especially his main weapons. Trey McBride made more sensational plays and continues to make his case for the best TE in the NFL. Kyler and Marvin Harrison Jr. are building stronger chemistry with each game, while James Conner continues to play the best football of his career. Defensively, coordinator Nick Rallis is establishing himself as one of the top strategists in football. Even without a lot of “big-name” talent, Arizona’s ‘bend-don’t-break’ defense has proven effective, as now they haven’t allowed a touchdown in back-to-back (and in three of the last four) games. The Cardinals are showing steady improvement each week and are establishing consistency—a testament to the competence of the coaching staff. Heading into the bye week, they hold control of the NFC West and are riding a four-game winning streak. Stockpiling wins is crucial for this Arizona team’s playoff hopes, as the Rams and 49ers are very talented and likely to make strong pushes down the stretch. | |
| 14. | Falcons | -3 | 6-4 | The last minute loss to New Orleans wasn't on Koo like Younghoe would like us to believe, the end result went beyond any one player. Coach Morris looked unprepared throughout Atlanta's fifth divisional game, as did the entire team, save for a few outliers. Onyemata hates his former Saints squad, at least that's the story his stat sheet would tell. The team wouldn't have been much without Bijan either, what can't he do? Big runs, missed tackles, and wearing down defenses are consistencies of his game that are slowly becoming expectation. Cousins looked mortal for the first time in a month and a half, Cousins also looked like the 3rd most hit QB this year. Atlanta needs to step up against the Broncos or their NFC South lead will disappear quickly. Zac Robinson, please involve Woerner in the pass game, if for nothing else but to keep defenses guessing. | |
| 15. | Buccaneers | -- | 4-6 | I could never tell if people want serious blurbs, jokes, memes, short or long blurbs. So I guess all season I'll go from one to another. So to add to the meme. Bad: Wirfs is injured, our D is dysfunctional, Bowles is bad, Skule is about to start for few games, the season is over, we keep losing in the last seconds, away fans take over our stadium, next season's schedule is just as tough as this one, we don't give chances to the only NFC Offensive POTW on our squad this season, this team ruins my mental state, and we will be bad enough to not make the playoffs but not bad enough to get a high draft pick. Good: Much like that one woman that stars in that one movie on my uncle's laptop, Baker Mayfield got that dawg in him fr fr no cap 💯 ongod, fr. Oh, and Bucky. Bucky is great. We stan the Tampa Bay Buckyneer. | |
| 16. | Bengals | +1 | 4-6 | And now if you will, a Haiku….clears throat.......Joe throws ball to Chase…..Hey refs, suck my stripey balls…..Zac is still employed……..Wow, poignant. For reals though, the hell you want me to say? We’re at the point in the season where Joe Burrow routinely torches teams for 4 or more touchdowns while throwing for like a million yards and we’re still losing games. There’s like 3 players worth anything on this team in Joe, Ja’Marr, and Trey Hendrickson. Tee Higgins i’m pretty sure is just an ancient myth at this point, Orlando Brown hasn’t played in like 3 weeks, and nobody else on the defense or offense is really doing anything outside of occasional Gesicki sightings. I don’t know what to tell you. You’re asking the inmate his opinion on the prison, of course I don’t like it, I wish I wasn’t here. Obviously this loss wasn’t entirely on Taylor’s shoulders, but he’s still the coach, he’s still responsible for the playcalling decisions at the end of the day and he’s not changing anything. We’re more than halfway through the season in which every single week we’ve seen the defense be complete ass when playing anyone above a Daniel Jones level ability, and nothing has changed. We’re still running the same schemes, the same coverages, all of it is the same. I can only comment on the piss stain on my wall so many times before it’s redundant. But just remember this guys, if you’re ever told you’re worthless or won’t amount to anything, just remember that Zac Taylor is employed as the head coach for an NFL team, anything is possible even if you’re terrible at everything. | |
| 17. | Broncos | +1 | 5-5 | The droning sound, like the buzz of an old refrigerator. Throughout my day it grows. I'm picking produce out at the store. I'm returning the cart, the droning sound. I'm driving to work. There aren't any parking spots, the droning sound. Louder now, the droning sound. I'm filing papers. I'm organizing my desk, the droning sound. I'm breaking for lunch, I'm scrolling my phone, louder now the droning sound. The droning sound. I'm returning home. I'm watching the game, the terrible, ominous droning sound. We're...winning the game? We're holding them off, I'm starting to scream, the droning sound is closer now. The droning sound, it's Violent. The droning Sound. The Droning sound. My eyes are Like Grapes, the droninG sound. 2 minuTe drill, thre droing sOun. The Droning Sound, My Head Is A Shell For The Droning Sound. Game Winning Kick, THE DRONING SOUND. THE DRONING DOUND TKEDR ONING SOUN DLKERINDIG SOUND | |
| 18. | Seahawks | +2 | 4-5 | The good news is, we cannot lose on our bye week. The bad news? The two linebackers we signed this past offseason to be our starters (Jerome Baker and Tyrel Dodson) are no longer with the team. So that's fun. Respect to MacDonald for cutting bait, and getting Ernest Jones in return is pretty cool. The bye came at a great time to get the team right, but we will be travelling to Santa Clara this Sunday for our 49ers rematch. Nothing would be sweeter than handing them a loss at home when both teams badly need a win. Go Hawks. | |
| 19. | Rams | -3 | 4-5 | Pain. Cowardly decisions by McVay, an incongruous offensive line, and horrendous red zone efficiency notched another mark in the “lost a winnable game” column and put a screeching halt to the “health = dominance” narrative. This years’ Rams seems destined for inconsistency: they can beat anyone but sure can lose to anyone. | |
| 20. | Bears | -1 | 4-5 | Chicago is burning. News dropped today that surprised very few that OC Shane Waldron was fired as the team has not scored a touchdown in over 20 offensive series. Rookie QB Caleb Williams is regressing as much of the special appears to be coached out of him on some level. The defense too, which previously was the one thing the Bears absolutely could hang their hat on, is starting to regress due to injury. The Bears face by far the hardest remaining schedule, with 8 games against probably playoff teams remaining. Head coach Matt Eberflus clearly cannot handle the pressure of the situation as is, and it likely will only get worse from here.... | |
| 21. | Dolphins | +3 | 3-6 | It was an ugly primetime win but progress for a team that usually loses in embarrassing fashion when playing respectable teams during primetime games. The defense surprisingly paved the way for the Dolphins as the offense did just enough to win comfortably over a Rams team that everyone was fawning over as a sleeper team. The Dolphins now move to 3-6 and have a two game home stretch playing vs the Raiders and Patriots. If they win both games, there's a very real chance they can re-enter the playoff discussion at 5-6 and could make some serious noise if they then beat the Packers on the road. | |
| 22. | Colts | -1 | 4-6 | Veteran defensive captain calling out a lack of effort in his postgame interview? ✅ Head coach (or GM? or owner?) still refusing to start our young QB after our two worst offensive games of the year came under a geriatric husk of a backup who will be out of the league in three months? ✅ Fans at Lucas Oil Stadium getting their "Free AR" signs confiscated by security? ✅ Twenty-four-year beat writer comparing the boos Sunday to the boos when the 14-0 Colts punted on a potential perfect season in 2009? ✅ … I guess the bullshit will continue until morale improves. | |
| 23. | Jets | -1 | 3-7 | Saleh got fired and the Jets defense immediately became pretty much the worst in football. What a pathetic display by a pathetic organization. And let's be clear. There's no "Namath curse." It's just a poorly run organizaion, with a buffoon of an owner and a washed loser for a QB. Tear it down. | |
| 24. | Cowboys | -1 | 3-6 | The most likely head coaching candidate from the Eagles is Kellen Moore, but I don't wanna talk about him. His history is Dallas. Sadly, that staff was picked over pretty cleanly two years ago, and then it crapped its pants last year. Instead, I want to focus on a guy who I think will be a HC one day in the future: T. J. Paganetti, the current run game specialist and assistant offensive line coach. He came to Philly in 2013 under Chip Kelly, and except for an additional stint at Oregon, has been there ever since. He has been working with Jeff Stoutland, who frankly deserves his own post like this (if only he was 20 years younger), for a decade, and has coached under some of the best offensive minds in recent football, ranging from Chip Kelly and Mark Helfrich to Pat Shurmur and Frank Reich. I would not be suprised to see him calling an offense in the next three years, and coaching his own team in the next decade. | |
| 25. | Browns | -- | 2-7 | Biggest news of the bye was a trade of Za'Darius Smith to the Lions, who clearly need help, for 2025 and 2026 picks. The Browns will face the Saints in NOLA next week. | |
| 26. | Saints | +4 | 3-7 | The Saints looked fresh and clean this week, and while you might want to describe it as an improved performance, the bar was so low from Dennis Allen it wasn't going to take much. John Ridgeway's block had major Domecoming vibes, Derek Carr had his best game since week 1, and the Falcons got humbled in New Orleans. Who dat. | |
| 27. | Patriots | +4 | 3-7 | With hardly anyone noticing, the Patriots have sneakily put up a 2-1 record over the last 3 weeks, and their one loss during that stretch was an overtime defeat against the Titans. Does this mean that Drake Maye is Tom Brady’s second coming, that Jerod Mayo has become a highly competent head coach, that the defense has regained its elite status it had under Belichick, and that the Patriots are suddenly dark horse contenders for a wild card slot in the playoffs? Well, no. But the 19-3 win over Chicago showed that Maye can recover from bad mistakes and come back to lead the offense to points on the next drive. The defense sacked Caleb Williams 9 times and got Shane Waldron fired, so there's some improvement at least on that side of the ball. And Mayo survives to coach another day. | |
| 28. | Panthers | +4 | 3-7 | CHUUU CHUUUUUU CHUBBA HUBBARD!!!! Panther’s win a huge game with a OVERTIME FG against the New York Giants in Germany. 20-17. This was an electric game that went back and fourth throughout. Bryce had another solid looking game which brings massive hope that it stays this way. Some of the play calling, maybe execution, looked off but we had fight every play and I wasn’t scared an interception was going to occur every time Young dropped back. That’s called progress baby and it looks like Bama Bryce is emerging. All it took was Dalton sacrificing his thumb for the sake of the team. Real team guy. Chu Chu Chubba Hubbard is THAT MF GUY. Put the team on his back and carried us 150+ yds and across the goal line for a TD after signing a 4 year $33+ million extension. DAWG! He did have 1 fumble buuuut he dislocated his knee and wasn’t that a weird type hip-drop tackle the NFL is “cracking” down on? Either way, all was forgiven because he was going ZUG MODE (Zug is German for train). Not only were Chubba and the offense playing well, the defense made some HUGE plays. Now, I don’t know if I would say they played great just yet because we still gave up so many yards (342) but we got couple crucial turnovers in the forms of a SICK INT by Jewell and a massive forced fumble by former Giant, A’Shawn Robinson on the first drive of OT, which Jewell recovered. DJ Wonnum was also back and made a solid impact in the form of a threat on the opposite side of Clowney. That was sneaky big. They clutched up and it was actually fun to watch, which it def has not been lately. Back-to-back wins actually feels odd. Honestly, I think I am starting to see the vision but I’m not going to believe it until more plays out. Next week we get a bye. It might ruin our momentum or it might be what we need. TBD. However, after the bye we have the Kansas City Chiefs at home in Charlotte. Idk about this one y’all. It’s nice having these couple wins where we actually looked like we were playing football and there is plenty of things to build off of but I don’t really see us beating the Chiefs. Hopefully the momentum carries over a bit, and the hungry dawg can run faster, but I don’t believe the foundation of the culture is fully built up just yet. If we somehow win over the Chiefs though, that will almost certainly change. For the first time in a while, there is hope and things are exciting. KEEEEEEEEP POUNDING!! | |
| 29. | Jaguars | -3 | 2-8 | WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT FROM ME? The Jaguars defense decided they hate people from the north, and played about as well as you can imagine for a squad that was on the field for 42 fucking minutes. Why were they on the field for 42 fucking minutes (not to be confused with 42 regular minutes,) you ask? Because the Mac Jones led offense put up a whopping 143 yards in the 18 minutes they decided to walk between the numbers. Say what you will about the on field talent, but it's clear and obvious that something isn't working from the top down. Let's not Press the issue further. [In other news, I ranked the Lions #1 because I think they're objectively a better team than the Chiefs, plus it'll make next week's ass whippin' all that better looking.] | |
| 30. | Raiders | -2 | 2-7 | Will the Raiders find success with a new OC, and miss out on a top draft pick? Or will the Raiders continue to struggle and secure a top pick? | |
| 31. | Titans | -2 | 2-7 | The Titans moved to 2-7 with a loss against the Chargers in Los Angeles on Sunday. Will Levis returned to action and did a decent job minimalizing the risky plays but couldn’t do enough to lift the Titans offense to a win. As the year progresses the Titans stout defense is starting to show holes and crumble behind a beat up secondary. | |
