đ NFL Power Rankings: Week 10
1) Kansas City Chiefs (+0)
Tip your cap to the Bills, they beat the Chiefs in a regular season home game again. We all know who would be favored if they played again on a neutral field.
2) Buffalo Bills (+2)
The Bills defense got fired up to face Patrick Mahomes and lived in the backfield with two linemen out for Kansas City. Their defensive line took another injury hit with Michael Hoecht (Achilles) potentially set to miss time.
3) Philadelphia Eagles (+4)
The Eagles picked up oft-injured CB Jaire Alexander, brought Brandon Graham out of retirement, and grabbed Jaelan Phillips at the deadline. Their offensive line is also going to benefit from the bye week.
4) Los Angeles Rams (+2)
Puka Nacua returned with a few typically awesome plays along with his weekly visit to the locker room, this time for a chest injury that shouldnât keep him out next week.
5) Detroit Lions (-3)
For the second time this season, Dan Campbell and his staff got out-coached by a divisional opponent. Maybe the Lions were looking ahead to a Week 10 revenge game at the Commanders.
6) Green Bay Packers (-3)
Was it those ugly uniforms? The Packers laid a stinker at home and more importantly, lost Tucker Kraft (knee) for the season.
7) Seattle Seahawks (+1)
Sam Darnold is playing the best ball of his life and the Seahawks might have the best defense in the NFL, with more key pieces coming back.
8) Baltimore Ravens (+6)
While Lamar Jackson (hamstring) didnât look comfortable as a runner, he looked very competent as a pocket passer in his return to the lineup. The Ravens defense is improving and getting healthier.
9) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+2)
Baker Mayfield barely had to lift a finger in a blowout win over the hapless Saints. The Bucs can pretty much coast to a fourth straight NFC South crown and focus on their health ahead of the playoffs.
10) Denver Broncos (+0)
Bo Nix is mastering the art of the game-winning drive after playing terribly for three-plus quarters. Denverâs defense is good enough to keep giving him chances.
11) Indianapolis Colts (-6)
Playing outdoors in a moderately high-profile matchup, Daniel Jones sort of turned into a pumpkin with five turnovers. Other teams might sell out against Jonathan Taylor and see if Jones makes mistakes.
12) New England Patriots (-3)
Drake Maye is averaging 250 passing YPG with a 75.2% completion rate and 127.9 rating during New Englandâs six-game win streak. Aside from the win at Buffalo, those wins have all come against bottom 10 teams.
13) Houston Texans (-1)
C.J. Stroud suffered a concussion while scrambling and Davis Mills (17-for-30, 167 yards) was serviceable in relief, but you need more from the QB position in the modern NFL.
14) Los Angeles Chargers (+1)
This is about the time of year when the Chargers take their annual nap. They almost lost to the Titans and lost Joe Alt (ankle) for the season in a crushing blow.
15) San Francisco 49ers (+0)
Kyle Shanahan and Robert Saleh deserve a ton of credit for cobbling together any success on defense given the number of injuries to that unit. Theyâll be hard pressed to stop the Rams in a revenge spot next week.
16) Pittsburgh Steelers (+1)
A week later than expected, the Steelers underachieving defense came alive with a dominant performance against the highest scoring team in the NFL.
17) Minnesota Vikings (+4)
Andrew Van Ginkel (neck) and other key players should return in Week 9 to try and support J.J. McCarthy in his second attempt to succeed as a starter.
18) Chicago Bears (+0)
That might be the least encouraging win weâve seen from a team all season, as the Bears beat the Bengals in a bungled battle of defensive incompetency.
19) Arizona Cardinals (+3)
Kyler Murray (foot) is likely out again this week in Seattle since the franchise will feel more comfortable benching Jacoby Brissett after he faces that elite defense.
20) Carolina Panthers (+8)
If the Panthers are willing to commit to Rico Dowdle as a workhorse and thus avoid getting down big, their defense can hold up on the other side.
21) Atlanta Falcons (+4)
Drake London and Bijan Robinson balled out in a tough matchup at the Patriots. At least the Falcons are back to fully committing to their best skill players.
22) Dallas Cowboys (-6)
So much for the Cowboys offense being unstoppable at home. Dak Prescott turned in his worst showing of the season in the loss. The Cowboys did make some upgrades on defense at the deadline.
23) Jacksonville Jaguars (-3)
The Jags emerged from their bye week with a renewed commitment to the run game, feeding Travis Etienne 27 touches in a conservative approach. Their secondary got shredded with several starters inactive.
24) New York Giants (-1)
Jaxson Dart is still a baller, the Giants roster is just crumbling around him with key injuries everywhere.
25) Las Vegas Raiders (+4)
Brock Bowers is healthy again. Rejoice, fantasy owners! Geno Smith is also clearly psyched that he has a top-tier target.
26) Cincinnati Bengals (+0)
This Bengals defense is truly embarrassing. Joe Flacco and company just became the first team to score 38-plus in consecutive losses.
27) Washington Commanders (-8)
The season from hell continues for Washington with Marshon Lattimore, Jayden Daniels, and Terry McLaurin injured and Frankie Luvu suspended.
28) Cleveland Browns (-1)
Browns fans are calling for Kevin Stefanski to be fired based on how well Joe Flacco is playing for Cincinnati. Clevelandâs search for a long-term quarterback continues.
29) Miami Dolphins (-4)
Instead of firing Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins have parted ways with GM Chris Grier. That move signals a rebuild that should make them sellers at the deadline.
30) New Orleans Saints (+1)
Another team with veteran players playing out the string on a mismatched roster, the Saints simply donât have the horses to compete.
31) Tennessee Titans (+1)
Cam Ward attempted a season-low 21 passes as the Titans went 1-for-10 on third and fourth down, squandering a chance to upset the Chargers despite getting a pick-6 and punt return TD.
32) New York Jets (-2)
Selling the top two defensive players from a unit that is giving up 27.6 PPG against a weak schedule shouldnât inspire any confidence in the Jets going forward.
