NFL Power Rankings: Chiefs remain on top, but Patriots, Eagles, Panthers among risers taken at BSJ Headquarters (Patriots)

(Kevin Jairaj/USA TODAY Sports)

This week, we have the Chiefs holding steady, the Panthers, Rams and Jags on the rise, while the Steelers are among those tumbling down the big board.


1. Chiefs (5-0 — last week, No. 1): The 1972 Dolphins shouldn’t be worried, but as we said earlier in the week, this is the best team in football right now. Next week: vs. Steelers.

2. Packers (4-1 — last week, No. 2): That defense is a little shaky, but when you have Aaron Rodgers under center, like Tom Brady, he can paper over an awful lot of deficiencies. Next week: at Vikings.

3. Falcons (3-1 — last week, No. 4): We were left a little shaken by that loss to Buffalo, but this still feels like a top five team that will get it all figured out sooner rather than later. Next week: at Dolphins.

4. Patriots (3-2 — last week, No. 5): If they keep Stephon Gilmore in man coverage all year and Don’t Hightower stays healthy in the middle, that defense might have found something. Next week: at Jets.

5. Eagles (4-1 — last week, No. 7): There are many reasons to like this Eagles team, but this week, we’re going to go with the baseball-themed touchdown celebration.
