Week 10 NFL Power Rankings: Tom Brady lists his top 5 teams

GOAT's NFL rankings and insights for Week 11 matchups

Week 11 of the 2024 NFL season is right around the corner, and the excitement is building! Before FOX Sports’ lead NFL analyst Tom Brady heads to Chicago to cover the clash between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears, two of the league’s most iconic rivals, he’s back with his latest power rankings.

With a surging AFC North breaking into the top five, Brady’s rankings are poised for a shake-up as two top-five matchups unfold this Sunday.

Here’s a closer look at Tom Brady’s current top five teams and insights heading into Week 11:

5. Pittsburgh Steelers (7-2) (Previously unranked)

Week 10 Result: Defeated Washington Commanders, 28-27

Tom Brady said the Steelers are riding a four-game winning streak, averaging 31 points per game. Russell Wilson has thrived as a starter, going 3-0 this season. His game-winning touchdown pass to Mike Williams last week was a highlight in their narrow victory over the Commanders.

Looking ahead, Pittsburgh faces a tough stretch with four consecutive divisional games. Coach Tomlin’s top-two defense will be tested this week against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, who boast one of the highest-scoring offenses in the league.

4. Buffalo Bills (8-2) (Last week: 3)

Week 10 Result: Defeated Indianapolis Colts, 30-20

The Bills extended their winning streak to five games, scoring 30 points per game in their last four. Against the Colts, their defense shone with four takeaways and four sacks.

Their biggest challenge of the season awaits as they face Patrick Mahomes and the undefeated Chiefs this week. With a history of intense matchups, this game promises to be a must-watch.

3. Baltimore Ravens (7-3) (Last week: 4)

Week 10 Result: Defeated Cincinnati Bengals, 35-34

Baltimore secured a thrilling win over the Bengals on Thursday night, marking their seventh victory in their last eight games. The Ravens’ offense continues to dominate, averaging 32 points per game. Lamar Jackson leads the league in touchdown passes, while Derrick Henry tops the charts in rushing touchdowns, a combination that likely keeps opposing defensive coordinators up at night.

This week, the Ravens face a critical matchup against the Steelers with first place in the AFC North on the line.

2. Detroit Lions (8-1) (Last week: 2)

Week 10 Result: Defeated Houston Texans, 26-23

Tom Brady opined Jared Goff’s five interceptions didn’t derail the Lions’ victory over Houston, thanks to a clutch performance from their defense and special teams. Jake Bates, a former UFL standout, nailed two 50-yard field goals in the fourth quarter, including the game-winner as time expired.

Detroit’s defense, known for its aggressive man coverage, shut out the Texans in the second half, showcasing a true team effort.

1. Kansas City Chiefs (9-0) (Last week: 1)

Week 10 Result: Defeated Denver Broncos, 16-14

The Chiefs continue to find new ways to win, maintaining their position at the top of the rankings. This week, a blocked field goal by Leo Chenal in the final moments secured their 15th straight victory, extending a winning streak that dates back to Christmas last year.

A blockbuster matchup against the Buffalo Bills awaits, bringing another exciting showdown between Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. It’s a game no fan will want to miss.

I write about sports because, well, it brings in the big bucks! I’m not some lifelong analyst or stats guru, truth being told, you’ve probably never heard of me!—I just know how to research, write, and make things sound good. That’s the job!
Got into sports media the same way most people do: by (fortunate) accident. Started with SEO writing, took on a few sports gigs, and now here we are! I cover games, trades, player drama—whatever needs words.
Favorite part? The chaos. One day it’s a blockbuster trade, the next it’s a goat running onto the field. Never boring.
