Here are the teams that made the cut in Brady’s Top 5 as they head into a pivotal Week 12!
Week 11 result: Defeated Washington Commanders, 26-10
Brady’s thoughts: “Making their first appearance in my power rankings, the Philadelphia Eagles have impressed many. After a rocky start at 2-2, they have rallied with six consecutive victories since their bye week. This squad has showcased its capabilities on both offense and defense, and Saquon Barkley is proving to be worth every penny of his contract. I can only imagine how tough this is for Giants fans.”
“The question remains: Can Philly extend their winning streak to seven when they face the Rams in L.A. during prime time?”

Brady’s thoughts: “The Steelers delivered an impressive victory over the Ravens, limiting Lamar Jackson and his dynamic offense to just 16 points. Chris Boswell stepped up with six field goals, proving clutch when needed. Although the offense struggled to find its rhythm, the defense was dominant. Pittsburgh aims for its sixth consecutive win as they prepare to face the Browns on Thursday night.”

Week 11 result: Lost to Buffalo Bills, 30-21
Brady’s thoughts: “The Kansas City Chiefs saw their undefeated streak come to an end against the Bills, but I have full confidence that Patrick Mahomes and his team will bounce back. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Chiefs and Bills meet again in January. This week, Kansas City faces the Panthers, and all eyes will be on them.”

Brady’s thoughts: “What a remarkable win for the Bills, handing the Chiefs their first loss of the season. Josh Allen showcased his talent with a spectacular, game-sealing touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Enjoy the bye week, Buffalo. They are set to pursue their seventh consecutive victory against the 49ers in Week 13.”

Week 11 result: Defeated Jacksonville Jaguars, 52-6
Brady’s thoughts: “For the first time this season, we have a new No. 1 team: the Detroit Lions. After witnessing their performance, it’s clear they deserve this recognition. They have now won eight straight games and scored 52 points for the second time this season. Jared Goff and the Lions’ offense rebounded impressively. Detroit is currently favored to win Super Bowl LIX. The upcoming road matchup against the Colts will be a true test of their momentum.”
“This wraps up Week 11. The anticipation for any significant changes after Week 12 is palpable. Fans are eager to tune in to the weekend’s games.”
