The NFL power rankings for Week 10 are here, and the trade deadline has shaken things up.
The Philadelphia Eagles have reclaimed the top spot, thanks to their prime-time win and the Buffalo Bills’ surprise loss to the New York Jets ¹. But how have the trades impacted the league’s elite?
The Top Five:
- Philadelphia Eagles: Their defense is looking strong, but they need to watch out for their run defense, which was exposed against the Texans ¹.
- Buffalo Bills: That shocking loss to the Jets was a wake-up call. Their powerful attack was neutralized by New York’s dynamic young defense ¹.
- Kansas City Chiefs: Patrick Mahomes is still unstoppable, and their win over the Titans proved it. But they need to work on their passing game consistency ¹.
- Dallas Cowboys: With Odell Beckham Jr.’s ACL rehab nearing its end, rumors are swirling about a potential signing. It would be a game-changer for America’s Team ¹.
- Baltimore Ravens: Their passing game may not be pretty, but their ground game and defense are making up for it. Justin Houston is on fire, with 2.5 sacks and a game-sealing interception against the Saints ¹.
Risers and Fallers:
- The New York Jets soared into the top 10 with their upset win over the Bills. Their defense is looking fierce, with cornerback Sauce Gardner playing like an All-Pro ¹.
- The San Francisco 49ers made some bold moves, trading away Jeff Wilson Jr. and bringing back Elijah Mitchell. Their backfield is now one of the most talented in football ¹.
- The Minnesota Vikings are 7-1 for the first time since 2009, thanks to T.J. Hockenson’s impressive debut and Justin Jefferson’s continued dominance
The trade deadline may have passed, but its impact will be felt for the rest of the season. Which teams will rise to the top, and which will falter? Stay tuned for more NFL action
