NFL Team Rankings:
1. Los Angles Rams (7-2)
Sean McVay redeemed his poor decision-making in Week 5 on Sunday, capitalizing on a slow San Francisco start to roll up three consecutive scores. Matthew Stafford finished his third-straight game with four or more passing touchdowns, and Kyren Williams found his legs again on the heels of a 114-yard day against New Orleans for his first two-score outing of the season. The Rams have been playing as well as anyone over the past three weeks, posting a league-leading +68 point margin on the back of a #5-ranked 111 points scored since Week 7. This week, they’ll face the team with the next-best point margin in that window, the Seattle Seahawks, for the first time this season in hopes of breaking the 7-2 tie for first in the NFC West.
2. Denver Broncos (8-2)
Denver furthered the narrative of just barely coming out on top, unconvincingly handling the Raiders for their fifth one-score victory in the last six games. Their defensive efforts shone again where their offense was absent, as Nik Bonitto overtook Byron Young for third on sack charts with 1.5 on Sunday, part of six Broncos total sacks, ranked 2nd in Week 10. A season-worst passing performance in terms of passer rating (54.2) and QBR (26.7) has many worried about Bo Nix as a potential weak link on an otherwise solid unit.
3. Indianapolis Colts (8-2)
The league’s best running back found a way to shatter expectations again by rushing for 244 yards against the Falcons in Berlin. This crushes the previous single-game season-high set by James Cook III in Week 10, and sets Johnathan Taylor apart as the first rusher to break 1,000 yards on the 2025 season. His trio of touchdowns also improved his league lead in the metric, as well as his team’s record to 8-2, and their 6-1 conference record ensures they keep that No. 1 seed in the AFC for the time being.
4. Seattle Seahawks (7-2)
Sam Darnold finished with under 200 passing yards for just the second time this year in a game that saw him turn the ball over a season-high three times, and his Seahawks still managed to beat the rival Cardinals by 22 points. The NFL’s seventh-leading passer (2,262 yards on the season) attempted just 12 passes, but connected on 10 of them for 178 yards and yet another Jaxon Smith-Njigba touchdown. The offensive backfield was spread even thinner this week as second-year back George Holani saw seven touches, including two in the red zone, for a career high 31 yards and his first NFL score. Even the defense got in on the box score as DeMarcus Lawrence and Tyrice Knight combined for not one but two scoop-and-scores on Jacoby Brissett in the first half. This resounding divisional win ties Seattle for the division lead, but it also elevated them to elite status as their point margin now sits as one of just two to exceed +100 points through 10 weeks (+103, trailing Indianapolis’s +115).
5. Philadelphia Eagles (7-2)
Philadelphia’s trade deadline moves made an immediate impact on Monday night, but none more so than former Dolphin Jaelan Phillips. Philips notched six total tackles, including a game-sealing forced fumble in the fourth. The veteran defensive end also found a fumble recovery of his own late in the first half. Howie Roseman’s continued trade deadline prowess helped the Eagles secure another critical conference win, and their 6-2 record against NFC teams has them holding firm in the No. 1 seed through Week 10.
6. Detroit Lions (6-3)
After a slow day in Detroit’s Week 9 loss to the Vikings, Jahmyr Gibbs found his swagger again in Washington for 172 yards and three touchdowns on just 18 all-purpose touches. He led an explosion of offense from the Lions, as their 44 points tied the Seahawks as Week 10’s highest scoring unit. They now rank second on the season with 31.44 points per game on average, behind only Indianapolis. Jared Goff averaged his most yards per completion (9.7) since Week 5 in Cincinnati, and his three passing scores were his most since that same game. This was in great part thanks to Jameson Williams, who pulled down six of his seven targets for a season-high 119 yards and his fourth score of the year. Goff will face his toughest pass defense yet in Philadelphia Sunday night, but Gibbs is poised for another productive week as the Eagles rank 26th in success rate against the run (just 56.4%). They’ll need all the offense they can come by in a matchup with such significant NFC playoff implications.
7. New England Patriots (8-2)
New England’s impressive win streak continues with an upset over the Buccaneers, improving them to 7-0 since their Week 3 loss to Pittsburgh. It was also the sixth straight game to feature at least 250 passing yards for Drake Maye, who now ranks third behind only Daniel Jones and Justin Herbert with 2,555 total. Sunday also marked a massive breakout game for TreVeyon Henderson, with the former Buckeye taking a team-leading 14 touches for a new career high of 147 yards and two touchdowns. Production from his rookie running back seemed to be the only thing eluding Mike Vrabel, as things just keep going right for his Patriots squad, but we may have just witnessed the final piece fall into place.
8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-3)
Don’t look now, but the Buccaneers could be backsliding. Despite their victory (albeit an awkward one) in New Orleans Week 8, this offense has looked the same over the last three weeks. The numerous injuries to skill positions on offense have ensured that Baker Mayfield is without consistent targets. His most frequently available receiver has been tight end Cade Otton, who’s seen action on 88.5% of Buccaneers dropbacks. Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson breathed some life into the receiving game this week as Mayfield dialed up three touchdown passes, but this total matches that of the previous three weeks combined. Through the first six games of the season, Tampa ranked 9th with 174 total points scored. They rank 24th with just 46 in the three weeks since.
9. Buffalo Bills (6-3)
The Bills picked up their third loss of the season in disastrous fashion, as an uncharacteristic trio of turnovers kept their offense off the field while the defense died by the rushing attack once again. Buffalo ranks 28th on the season with a 55.9% success rate against the run, and their other two losses this season have featured a 170-yard, one-touchdown performance from Bijan Robinson and a pair of goal-to-go scores from Rhamondre Stevenson. This will have to be addressed heading into a matchup with Tampa and the combined threat of Rachaad White and Sean Tucker. That is, of course, if Bucky Irving doesn’t make an early return.
10. Los Angeles Chargers (7-3)
L.A. won their third in a row this week, finding impact performances from of their younger stars. Kimani Vidal received a career-high 25 carries, which he took for 95 yards and his second career rushing score. Since losing Omarion Hampton to an ankle injury in Week 5, the backfield has belonged to Vidal, and in each of his three outings that featured more than 12 touches, he’s racked up 336 yards on the ground. They’ve also seen a jump in production from Ladd McConkey, who’s increased target share allowed for his second 100+-yard day in the season on Sunday. These are promising advances from depth pieces who will become exceedingly important as we approach the final postseason push.
11. Kansas City Chiefs (5-4)
The Chiefs entered the bye upon suffering their first loss since Week 5, but they’ll receive some much-needed help up front for their Week 11 return. Josh Simmons is expected to retake the field in Denver next Sunday after stepping away for personal reasons before the team’s Week 6 matchup with Detroit. With Simmons in the lineup through the first five weeks, Kansas City posted the seventh-lowest sack rate at just 3.7%. In the four weeks since, that’s dropped to a 14th-ranked 7%. That’s a game-changing leap heading into a divisional showdown with a Broncos squad that leads the league in every major pass-rushing metric.
12. Green Bay Packers (5-3-1)
Jordan Love’s recent struggles continue as he’s now gone a second consecutive game without a passing score. He hit a new season low passing total with 176 on a similarly season-low 55.6% completion rate. This is largely due to the fact that he was pressured 20 times (tied for third-most in Week 10) and sacked three times by a significantly improved Philly pass rush. If this offense continues to stall every time their quarterback hears footsteps, it could be a bumpy ride to the finish for such a promising Packers squad.
13. Chicago Bears (6-3)
The Bears trailed by 10 late in the third, but a key forced fumble courtesy of C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Nashon Wright put the ball back in Caleb Williams’ hands with plenty of time to spare. That sentence might not have inspired much confidence a year ago, or even a month ago, but Williams’ 500 passing yards rank 9th over the past two weeks, and he’s dialed up five total touchdowns without a single turnover in that time. He found two, a 2-yard dagger to Rome Odunze and a 17-yard sideline run of his own, to overcome the Giants in the snow on Sunday, propelling Chicago to a 6-3 record and, believe it or not, the NFC’s seventh seed. Their current playoff position will be contested next week by a 4-5 Vikings team looking to complete the series sweep.
14. San Francisco 49ers (6-4)
It took an elite Rams defense to finally bottle up Christian McCaffrey, as the veteran back was held to a season-low 2.5 yards per carry. With the Niners missing several key pieces of their own on defense (a list that now includes DT Alfred Collins), it was always going to be difficult to keep a lid on this contest. San Fran didn’t drop their fourth of the season to a lack of effort, however, as Mac Jones completed an impressive 33 of 39 for three passing scores. Those kinds of numbers should be enough to topple a lesser divisional opponent in Arizona next week.
15. Pittsburgh Steelers (5-4)
After getting blown out on the road Sunday night in Los Angeles, Pittsburgh’s grasp on the AFC North becomes even more tenuous. The loss was their third in the last four games, and Aaron Rodgers took responsibility personally in his postgame presser, saying, “I’ve got to play better than this.” Rodgers did hit a few speed bumps last night, posting a season-low 51.6% completion rate in his third multi-interception outing of the year. He was also sacked for a safety in the first quarter, opening the scoring for the Chargers. The veteran field general will have a shot to regain some ground in the division this week, but he’ll have to dial in the passing attack against a Bengals defense that has permitted a 29th-ranked 2,341 passing yards through ten weeks.
16. Houston Texans (4-5)
The Texans posted their second-highest single-game point total of the season at home against the Jaguars, but it was once again the defense running the show. Houston’s defense combined for 19 pressures (ranked fifth) and five sacks (ranked fourth) on a vulnerable Trevor Lawrence, forcing a pair of turnovers from the Jaguars quarterback, including a Sheldon Rankins scoop-and-score as time expired to shut down any chance of a Jacksonville rally. In the suddenly-contentious AFC South, this series-tying win over the second-place Jaguars puts the Texans right back in the conversation despite their third-place divisional standing.
17. Carolina Panthers (5-5)
Bryce Young reached new lows this week in New Orleans, at least for 2025. The third-year quarterback posted a season-low 13.2 QBR, and his running back room couldn’t bail him out this time. Rico Dowdle took over the backfield in earnest, seeing 18 carries while Young and Chuba Hubbard combined for just five. While Dowdle did notch Carolina’s only score on Sunday, he finished the day with his lowest yards total since before Hubbard’s Week 4 injury. The divisional loss hurts the Panthers, especially as a win would have tied them with Tampa at 6-3 for the lead, but it only drops their record to .500, still well within striking distance.
18. Jacksonville Jaguars (5-4)
Even after Woody Marks crashed into the end zone for a Texans score, Jacksonville still held a ten-point lead heading into the half. A dramatic collapse in the fourth quarter cancelled out an impressive defensive effort through three quarters, as the defense took the ball away twice. After a slow day in the turnover department against Las Vegas in Week 9, Sunday’s pair brought Jacksonville back into second on the season with 17 total, behind only Chicago’s 20. While they came up short, the Jaguars reminded their division rivals that they can still compete on both sides of the ball, especially if new arrival Jakobi Meyers keeps leading the team in receiving as he did this week.
19. Baltimore Ravens (4-5)
Lamar Jackson and company headed to Minnesota this week, prepared to repeat the massive offensive performance they put together in Miami a week ago. While Jackson couldn’t quite manage another four-touchdown passing performance as he did in Week 9, this come-from-behind win over a significantly tougher defense means more in terms of the season as a whole. The Ravens are back to their winning ways with a healthy Jackson under center, and they now find themselves just one win behind the Steelers for their usual spot atop the AFC North.
20. Dallas Cowboys (3-5-1)
The Cowboys are set to emerge from the bye this week after suffering a pair of tough losses leading into it. After averaging a fourth-ranked 29.22 points through the first eight weeks of the season, Dallas managed just 17 (ranked 22nd in Week 9) against a lackluster Cardinals defense. Their own defense upheld the status quo, dropping to a 31st-ranked 48.1% in total efficiency rate as the team fell to 3-5-1 on the year. Their second-place standing in the NFC East just speaks to the lack of competition there beyond the Eagles.
21. Atlanta Falcons (3-6)
Michael Penix’s errors throughout this contest ensured that the ground game would decide it. As good as Bijan Robinson has been this season (especially when Tyler Allgeier rises to the occasion), that’s not a battle anyone is going to win against Johnathan Taylor and the Colts. Despite Penix’s rampant incompletions (a career-low 42.9%), Drake London still managed to string together his fourth 100-yard day of the season (all in the last five games), finishing Week 10 ranked seventh overall with 691 total receiving yards. Raheem Morris expressed his continued confidence in OC Zac Robinson during Sunday’s postgame press conference, stating, “We’ve got to do better on some of those situations on third down. If we can do that, we’ll be a pretty good offense. Atlanta currently ranks 28th in third-down efficiency at 33.6%.
22. Minnesota Vikings (4-5)
J.J. McCarthy showed some growing pains in his most recent start, reaching a new career-low completion percentage at 47.1%. A pair of untimely picks set up two Ravens field goals, and his off-target percentage of 19% (ranked fifth-highest in Week 10) only set the Vikings back further. Justin Jefferson caught just four of 12 targets for a season-low 37 yards, and Jalen Nailor’s career-high 124-yard day was significantly bolstered by a 62-yard shot in the first quarter with no real sign of consistency in sight. Despite their 4-5 record (.444), Minnesota could be doomed to serve yet another season as the punching bag of the NFC North.
23. Washington Commanders (3-7)
The first game of yet another Jayden Daniels injury stint surprised us with better play than we’ve seen from a Commanders quarterback all season. Marcus Mariota completed a season-high 72.7% of his passes (ranked fourth in Week 10) for a 133.3 passer rating that trailed only Jared Goff’s own this week. The running game stagnated once again, however, and the defense failed to come up with a stop until Detroit kneeled the game out in the fourth. This 31st-ranked defense in points allowed negated yet another solid offensive outing for the Commanders, and a repeat of last year’s trip to the conference championship looks increasingly less likely as they fall to 3-7 (.300).
24. Arizona Cardinals (3-6)
Arizona allowed pressure at the league’s third-highest rate in Week 10, leading to five sacks on Jacoby Brissett (two of which resulted in forced fumbles returned for touchdowns). It also contributed to an inability to establish a rushing attack beyond Emari Demercado’s 55-yard trot in the fourth quarter, ensuring that once the Cardinals fell behind early, they would stay there. Arizona has now allowed a fifth-ranked 40.9% pressure rate through 10 weeks, and that will have to change lest they run even lower on options at starting quarterback.
25. Cincinnati Bengals (3-6)
Since Joe Burrow went down, Cincinnati’s misplaced philosophy this season has been that, if you score enough points, the best defense is actually a high-scoring offense. It’s only worked twice in the last seven weeks, and they’ve come out on the losing end by one score in each of their last two games. Despite a generational 470-yard passing performance from Joe Flacco, the defense couldn’t come up with a final stop, effectively wasting a season-high 42-point day. They were able to outlast Pittsburgh in Week 7, but can they do the same in a hostile Acrisure Stadium in Week 11?
26. Miami Dolphins (3-7)
The Dolphins may have just posted the upset of the season. De’Von Achane beat Buffalo to the outside all day, racking up a season-high 174 yards and two touchdowns (his second multi-score game of the season) on 22 carries (tied for a career-most). Miami withstood a pair of Tua Tagovailoa interceptions, his 12th and 13th of the season, thanks to a wave of turnovers of their own to improve to 3-7 (.300) on the season. While it should only make a difference on paper when it comes to this season’s draft order, it never hurts the soul to play spoiler.
27. New York Jets (2-7)
When it rains, it pours for the New York Jets as the biggest sellers of this year's trade deadline have picked up their second-straight win. Special teams magic from Kene Nwangwu and Isaiah Williams put New York up early, and Breece Hall took it from there, amassing 83 yards on 21 carries as well as a 42-yard go-ahead score on his only reception. This win was the furthest thing from pretty, but the Jets’ post-deadline schedule only gets more forgiving as they jump from 17th to the third easiest after Week 10. It’s hard to consider a trip to Foxborough on a short week much “easier”, though.
28. New York Giants (2-8)
Past failures aside, the 2025 season drove four district nails into Brian Daboll’s coffin. The first was his inability to close out the Cowboys. A three-point lead with 14 seconds remaining became a devastating divisional loss loss thanks to a complete lack of prevent defense and an untimely turnover. The second was his ineffectiveness in maintaining an 11-point lead over a winless Saints squad as rampant turnovers squashed any chance Big Blue had at stringing some momentum together. The third was a road loss to Denver that also boiled down to a lack of care for the ball and a failure to disrupt late chunk plays across the middle of the field. The fourth and final nail was Caleb Williams’ 17-yard rush, barely touched down the sideline to complete a 10-point Bears' comeback with less than two minutes to play. While much of the blame here can also be attributed to Shane Bowen, Daboll’s trusty DC hire, New York simply needed a scapegoat for now. Deeper-rooted managerial issues will need to be addressed come the offseason.
29. Cleveland Browns (2-7)
While Cleveland surpassed their usual 30th-ranked 14.9 points per game average in Week 10, their offense lulled as Dillon Gabriel felt the heat of the Jets’ pass rush. The rookie quarterback was pressured on a 20th-ranked 44.2% of dropbacks, and sacked at a 24th-ranked 15.8% of attempts. This loss pushes Cleveland even further out of contention, down to their typical fourth in the AFC North, and 15th in the conference overall after ten weeks.
30. New Orleans Saints (2-8)
Three games into his time as the Saints starter, Tyler Shough already has his first big intra-division victory. The young quarterback posted veteran numbers in Charlotte on Sunday, with his 70.4% completion rate ranking sixth in the league this week, and his 10.4 yards per completion finishing second to none. Chris Olave and Juwan Johnson shared in the spoils, as the pair combined for 196 yards and two scores on just nine total receptions. While their record doesn’t bode well for any long-term success, the Saints have a chance to surprise people as their schedule improves from the 30th-easiest to No. 1 for the rest of the way.
31. Tennessee Titans (1-8)
The Titans took Week 10 to regroup after dropping their fourth-straight game (their eighth-straight at home) in Week 9. They somehow kept it competitive against the Chargers despite failing to register a touchdown on offense, but as we’ve been saying about this team all season, you just need more from the offense as a whole. They rank dead last in football, averaging 12.2 offensive points and just 244.0 yards per game. A rematch with a Texans squad that held them scoreless back in September doesn’t inspire confidence that those metrics will change for the better any time soon.
32. Las Vegas Raiders (2-7)
Geno Smith found a new floor in completion percentage as he connected on just 61.5% of his passes in Denver last week. He found no wiggle room in Denver’s stout aerial coverage and overstayed his welcome in the pocket as a result, taking six sacks. Special teams miscues hurt Las Vegas in the end (punt blocked by the face of JL Skinner, a missed field goal that would have tied it with less than five minutes to play), but the defense’s ability to keep Bo Nix off the field throughout the contest was impressive in and of itself.
