NFL Power Rankings: Ranking All 32 Teams From Worst To First After Conference Championship Game Weekend

Just two teams remain in the quest for the Super Bowl. Here are all 32 teams ranked from worst to first.

We’ve almost done it, folks. 284 of the 285 total regular season and playoff games have been played. Only the Super Bowl, which will see the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles, is left to play.

Here is the final set of power rankings prior to the end of the season.

32. Tennessee Titans

Rumors are that the Titans may not take a quarterback at the top of Round 1. Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter would be a fantastic building block of a rebuild.

31. Cleveland Browns

It could make some sense for the Browns to offload talent this offseason and rebuild, given the strength of the AFC at the top now. The question is, just who would be for sale?

30. New York Giants

Watching the NFC Championship Game had to be especially sobering for Giants fans. They watched their former star player in Saquon Barkley score three touchdowns for a divisional rival, and the franchise quarterback of another divisional rival, Jayden Daniels, played well. The Giants could be at the bottom of the NFC East for a long time.

29. New Orleans Saints

The Saints are the final team without a head coach. Mike McCarthy is getting a lot of buzz, but that would be a pretty underwhelming hire.

28. Jacksonville Jaguars

Last week was a chaotic one in Jacksonville. Their top two coaching targets, Ben Johnson and Liam Coen turned them down. The team then fired GM Trent Baalke, and Coen decided to take the job. That dysfunction has been par for the course for this franchise for far too long.

27. Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders made an outstanding hire in Pete Carroll. Carroll is going to change the culture in Las Vegas, and is the best head coach the team has had since the days of John Madden and Tom Flores.

26. New England Patriots

Mike Vrabel is assembling quite a staff in Foxboro. Patriots fans are looking at the great season the Commanders had and saying “why not us?”

25. Chicago Bears

The Bears got their top target in Ben Johnson, and hired a great defensive coordinator in Dennis Allen. This offseason is off to a great start, but we’ve heard that before in Chicago.

24. Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys built a roster that won 12 games in three straight seasons from 2021-2023 before being decimated by injuries this year. It goes to show how few people want to work for Jerry Jones that they had to hire a coach in Brian Schottenheimer that nobody else wanted.

23. New York Jets

The Jets hired former player and Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn as the team’s head coach last week. On the surface, that seems like a great hire. He’s going to command respect in the locker room.

22. Carolina Panthers

For once, it’s not a chaotic offseason in Carolina. If they make smart acquisitions and draft well, they could contend in the NFC South.

21. San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers hit a home run by bringing back Robert Saleh as defensive coordinator. Saleh is one of the best in the business.

20. Indianapolis Colts

Are the Colts going to go all-out on supporting Anthony Richardson on offense. Or, are they going to build with the future in mind past Anthony Richardson? Given the GM and head coach are on the hot seat, they’ve got to win now.

19. Atlanta Falcons

It seems clear that Kirk Cousins will not return. That means that Michael Penix should have the whole offseason as a starter. That could go a long way.

18. Arizona Cardinals

Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. are expected to spend plenty of time together this offseason improving their chemistry. That’s going to be really important to Arizona’s success next season.

17. Miami Dolphins

If, and this is a big if, Miami can get better up front on both sides, they have the pieces to make a deep run next season.

16. Seattle Seahawks

Seattle hired former Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak to the same position. He’s pretty highly thought-of, especially in the run game as a Shanahan disciple, just like his dad, Gary. The Seahawks need to get better at running the football.

15. Cincinnati Bengals

Cincinnati surely was watching the playoffs and wondering what could’ve been. They lost to the AFC Champion Chiefs by one point this season after a pass interference call extended the game.

14. Pittsburgh Steelers

Unlike Cincinnati, Pittsburgh should’ve been watching the remainder of the AFC Playoffs after their elimination and thought, “we aren’t anywhere close to these teams.

13. Denver Broncos

Patrick Surtain is expected to capture the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year award next week. He will become the first Bronco to win it since Randy Gradishar in 1978.

12. Los Angeles Chargers

Rumors are swirling that Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf could be on the trade block this offseason. He would make a lot of sense for Justin Herbert and Seattle.

11. Green Bay Packers

The Packers are rarely active in free agency, especially on big names, with a few exceptions. They should be in on Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins if he hits the open market.

10. Minnesota Vikings

It seems like they’re going to let Sam Darnold walk. That sentence was pretty crazy just one month ago.

9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Buccaneers lost their offensive coordinator to a head coaching gig for the second year in a row as Liam Coen went to Jacksonville. This is a hire that Todd Bowles need to get right once again.

8. Houston Texans

The Texans are getting early Super Bowl buzz for next year, and for good reason. If they stay healthy and their young core improves, they’re going to be a tough out.

7. Los Angeles Rams

The Rams had to have watched the Eagles win in a blowout and think they were oh-so-close to a Super Bowl.

6. Detroit Lions

The Lions have lost both coordinators to head coaching jobs. But, that roster is too good to take much of a step back next year. They should be preseason NFC favorites.

5. Washington Commanders

A Cinderella Commanders season finally came to an end on Sunday in a 55-23 NFC Championship Game loss to the Eagles. While that score isn’t indicative of a game that felt like it could go either way up until the 4th quarter, it did show that there’s a big talent gap between the two teams. Jayden Daniels will make up for some of that, but they have to improve the overall talent level this offseason. Thankfully, they have the cap space to do just that.

4. Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens could absolutely beat the two teams playing in the Super Bowl in two weeks. Unfortunately, it’s yet another season in which they won’t be playing in that game.

3. Buffalo Bills

The game was there to be won for the Bills on multiple occasions, and they simply fell short once again against Kansas City in the playoffs. Blame the refs if you want (you shouldn’t). The fact of the matter is, the Chiefs hadn’t scored 30 points all year until Sunday, and the first time that happens shouldn’t be against a team with a head coach with a defensive background. Once again, other players and units and coaches let Josh Allen down.

2. Kansas City Chiefs

There’s not much to say other than the Chiefs feel inevitable. How, exactly, do you beat these guys in the playoffs? For the past three years, nobody has been able to figure it out. They need one more win to be crowned the greatest dynasty in league history.

1. Philadelphia Eagles

Everyone will talk about the running game, and rightly so, as it was dominant once again. But, Jalen Hurts was tremendous. If he plays like that in New Orleans, the Eagles will be Super Bowl Champions.
