The NFL season is heating up, and as Week 15 approaches, fans are buzzing about Tom Brady’s latest power rankings. The legendary quarterback-turned-analyst has shared his Top 5 teams heading into a huge weekend of football. Week 14 delivered some unforgettable moments, including a thriller that might just be the game of the year, shaking up the standings. Here’s how the GOAT sees things going into Week 15:
5. Buffalo Bills (10-3)
Last week: 3
Week 14 result: Lost to Los Angeles Rams, 44-42
Brady says: “The Bills drop to No. 5 this week after a heartbreaking loss to the Rams. That game was an instant classic. Josh Allen and the offense did everything they could, but the defense just couldn’t hold up.
“That said, I still believe in this team. They’ve got a big matchup with the Lions coming up, and I can’t wait to see how they respond.”
4. Minnesota Vikings (11-2)
Last week: 5
Week 14 result: Beat Atlanta Falcons, 42-21
Brady says: “The Vikings are on the rise, taking the fourth spot after a dominant win over the Falcons. Sam Darnold was lights out, and their receivers, Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, absolutely crushed it with five combined touchdowns.
“They’ve got momentum and a chance to keep rolling against the Bears this week.”
3. Philadelphia Eagles (11-2)
Last week: 4
Week 14 result: Beat Carolina Panthers, 22-16
Brady says: “The Eagles climb to No. 3 after their ninth straight win. This team hasn’t lost since September! Saquon Barkley is playing at an elite level, and Vic Fangio’s defense has been a game-changer this season.
“I’m especially excited about this team because I’ll be calling their game against the Steelers on Sunday. It’s going to be a good one!”
2. Kansas City Chiefs (12-1)
Last week: 2
Week 14 result: Beat Los Angeles Chargers, 19-17
Brady says: “No surprise here — the Chiefs hold onto the No. 2 spot. They pulled off another close win, this time against the Chargers with a walk-off field goal. Andy Reid’s squad is the best in the league at clutch, situational football.
“I’m curious to see how their defense handles Jameis Winston and the Browns this week.”
1. Detroit Lions (12-1)
Last week: 1
Week 14 result: Beat Green Bay Packers, 34-31
Brady says: “Four weeks in a row at the top, and it’s well deserved! The Lions are No. 1 again after another gutsy win, this time over the Packers. Dan Campbell’s aggressive style continues to pay off, and this team just keeps finding ways to win.
“The road ahead won’t be easy, though, with matchups against the Bills, 49ers, and Vikings coming up. It’s going to be fun watching how they handle those challenges.”
And that’s a wrap on Brady’s Week 14 rankings! With so much at stake in Week 15, who knows what surprises are in store for the NFL’s top teams? Stay tuned to see how it all unfolds!
