🏈 2025 NFL Power Rankings

Tier 1: True Contenders (1–5)

1. Philadelphia Eagles — Most complete roster in football, Jalen Hurts + AJ Brown + dominant O-line.
2. Baltimore Ravens — Lamar Jackson is at his peak, elite defense, great coaching stability.
3. Kansas City Chiefs — Mahomes keeps them here even with WR turnover; defense quietly strong.
4. Buffalo Bills — Josh Allen still a top-tier QB, roster reloaded after cap crunch.
5. Detroit Lions — Legit Super Bowl ceiling, Jared Goff steady, young defense rising.

Tier 2: Strong Playoff Teams (6–12)

6. Green Bay Packers — Jordan Love + Micah Parsons addition = scary mix.
7. Washington Commanders — Defense elite, offense balanced, but QB ceiling still TBD.
8. Los Angeles Rams — Stafford + Kupp + McVay always keep them competitive.
9. Minnesota Vikings — Offensive firepower, but defense keeps them just below elite.
10. Cincinnati Bengals — Burrow is elite, but O-line and defensive depth remain questions.

12. Denver Broncos — Much-improved roster, playoff-caliber defense.

Tier 3: Fringe Playoff / Wildcard Teams (13–20)

14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Solid but limited ceiling; defense keeps them competitive.
15. Pittsburgh Steelers — Always tough, but QB situation caps upside.
16. Seattle Seahawks — Talented skill players, but QB inconsistency is a hurdle.
17. Miami Dolphins — Explosive offense, but durability + defense are big concerns.
18. Atlanta Falcons — Physical roster, but QB play keeps them mid-tier.
19. San Francisco 49ers — Talent remains, but post-Shanahan transition & QB issues drag them down.
20. Indianapolis Colts — Richardson’s development is key; sneaky wildcard potential.

Tier 4: Rebuilding but Competitive (21–27)

28. Cleveland Browns — Reset in full swing, roster stripped down, long road ahead.

30. Las Vegas Raiders — Dysfunction + lack of direction = bottom tier.
31. New York Giants — Offensive line & QB situation remain major problems.
