Tom Brady Reveals New Power Rankings Following Major Week 5 Upsets
In a season brimming with surprises, Tom Brady has consistently maintained that his top power ranking would remain unchanged until the reigning Super Bowl champions suffered a defeat. The Philadelphia Eagles’ loss in Week 5 has prompted significant shifts in Brady’s latest rankings, which now feature a new leader and a series of changes within the top 10.
Key Updates to the Power Rankings After Week 5
This week witnessed multiple upsets across the league, shaking up the standings. Notably, the Buffalo Bills, previously among the last undefeated teams, faced a setback as well. Additionally, the Kansas City Chiefs encountered an unexpected loss. Reflecting on the chaos of Week 5, Brady remarked, “There are probably about 15 teams that deserve to be in the top 10,” leading him to incorporate four new teams this week.
The Detroit Lions Take the Top Spot
Brady has placed the Detroit Lions at No. 1, highlighting their remarkable performance since a slow start in Week 1. He noted, “Since then, they’ve been on fire.

Philadelphia Eagles Drop to No. 2
After their loss, the Philadelphia Eagles slipped to the second position. Brady acknowledged their strong presence in the NFC despite the defeat, stating, “I’ve always said if you want to beat the best, you’ve got to beat the best. Denver went to Philly and got it done.”

Brady praised the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for their impressive road victory over the Seattle Seahawks, recognizing Baker Mayfield’s standout performance with 379 passing yards. The Bucs earned a notable position within the rankings, highlighting Mayfield as a rising MVP candidate this season.
