Ryan Kirksey ranks all 32 NFL teams after ten weeks of the 2023 season based on how well they have played through their first ten games.
As we head into the fourth month of the NFL season, we are starting to get a better sense of who these 32 teams are. Injuries, inefficiencies, and mega-popstar distractions have impacted NFL teams in different ways through the league's first eight weeks. On the other hand, there have been some major positive surprises and stellar play from unexpected sources.
Teams like the New York Jets, the Minnesota Vikings, the Houston Texans, and the Jacksonville Jaguars have all moved drastically since our Preseason Power Rankings from early August. It's just further proof that the landscape of the NFL can change on a dime after any given Sunday.
So what do the NFL power rankings look like 10 weeks into the regular season? Here is our ranking of all 32 NFL teams.

Super Bowl In Their Sights
1. Philadelphia Eagles (8-1)
Do you mean to tell me the Eagles have been this dominant while Jalen Hurts has been playing hurt? On boy. Should we call off the NFC Championship game now?

2. Kansas City Chiefs (7-2)
The Chiefs are good. What else is new? But this made me laugh.

3. Baltimore Ravens (8-3)
In an alternate universe somewhere, there is a Ravens team that always has its best players stay healthy for the stretch run of the season and has won a couple of Super Bowls in the last five years. Get well soon, Mark Andrews.
4. Detroit Lions (7-2)
A lot of credit was given to Jared Goff and the Lions' offense after the shootout win versus the Chargers, and rightly so. But part of the reason Goff had so much success was because tackle Penei Sewell did not allow Khalil Mack or Joey Bosa to touch the quarterback in that game.
5. Miami Dolphins (6-3)
The Dolphins will be featured on HBO's Hard Knocks: In Season beginning November 21st and a righter decision has never been made in the history of football.
6. Dallas Cowboys (6-3)
Dallas has scored more points than any other team in the NFC. That's awesome. They are undefeated at home. Also awesome. But they have been outscored by a margin of 70-33 by the two teams they have played who are currently in a playoff spot. Who, exactly, is Dallas this year?
7. San Francisco 49ers (6-3)
After a losing streak, they bounced back in a huge way by trouncing Jacksonville on the road for their sixth win. Is Purdy actually good now? You be the judge.
Brock Purdy on 20+ yard throws this season:
20/30
568 yards
6 TDs / 1 INT
135.4 passer rating— PFF SF 49ers (@PFF_49ers) November 16, 2023
Playoff Bound Or Their Fans Revolt
8. Cleveland Browns (6-3)
If this were the momentum rankings, the Browns would be at the bottom after losing Deshaun Watson for the season to a shoulder injury. If this were the karma rankings, they would be number one with a bullet. You know why.
9. Seattle Seahawks (6-3)
Hope you're not counting on Matthew Stafford for your fantasy team after this week.

10. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-3)
You've probably seen this Steelers stat already. Mike Tomlin is officially a wizard.
The Steelers have been outgained in every single game this season.
They're 6-3. pic.twitter.com/qGN5Fk35CZ

11. Jacksonville Jaguars (6-3)
According to Scott Barrett, "generational" talent Trevor Lawrence has more than 335 passing yards once in his career. C.J. Stroud has done it in two straight weeks. In the words of Logan Roy, they may look good, but this is an "unserious" team.
12. Cincinnati Bengals (5-5)
On the first play from scrimmage on Thursday night, Joe Burrow rushed for nine yards. That was a great sign for his health and a good harbinger for this Bengals team. Halfway through the game, however, Joe Burrow left with a wrist injury. That will stop their ascension up these ranks real quick if he misses time.
Surprise Teams, But For Different Reasons
13. Minnesota Vikings (6-4)
Credit to Minnesota who could have easily given up after Justin Jefferson and Kirk Cousins went down, especially with the Lions looking so dominant. Joshua Dobbs is such a fun player to root for.
14. Houston Texans (5-4)
Imagine every player in the NFL no longer has a team but things like age, current salary, and talent all still apply. I don't think C.J. Stroud would go first overall in a full-league redraft, but it's no longer crazy to think he might be in the conversation.

15. Buffalo Bills (5-5)
All the discussion on the talking head shows this week was about "Does Josh Allen have an interception problem?" Frankly, I don't care about the answer to that question, because the Bills have a win-loss problem, and the reasons are far broader than Allen's interceptions.
Stuck In The Middle With You
16. New Orleans Saints (5-5)
Seriously, is there a more boring team in the NFL right now? Maybe Jameis Winston can breathe some life and excitement into this squad. What a joke the NFC South is this year.
17. Las Vegas Raiders (5-5)
The mood in the locker room ever since Josh McDaniels left town.

The mood of the Chargers' offense after they put up 38 points and lose.

19. Denver Broncos (4-5)
We thought their defense was atrocious after allowing 70 points to the Dolphins in Week 3. But over their last four games, Denver has given up only 16.8 points per game.
20. Indianapolis Colts (5-5)
Gute Arbeit, die Patrioten Amerikas zu besiegen. You may have sent Bill Belichick to the retirement home.
21. Atlanta Falcons (4-6)
Good job, Arthur Smith. You gave 22 carries to Bijan Robinson. Now do Drake London and Kyle Pitts.
22. New York Jets (4-5)
Already mentally preparing myself for Aaron Rodgers coming back for the Christmas Eve game against Washington and how many "Christmas came a day early" jokes we are going to see.
We Thought It Would Work With Old Guys
23. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-5)
They get the 23rd spot instead of the 24th spot because they snapped a four-game losing streak by beating the team in the 24th spot. That's how all of this works. Very complicated formula.
24. Tennessee Titans (3-6)
Will Levis was HIM in Week 8 for his first-ever start. He has decidedly not been him since then. Neither has Derrick Henry, so this ship is sinking fast.
25. Los Angeles Rams (3-6)
This should read "Nine's happy to be signed for $80 million over the next three years."
Nine's happy to be back. 😁 pic.twitter.com/x9OUaMcqCF

Already Starting to Check January Vacation Spots
26. Washington Commanders (4-6)
Despite Sam Howell leading the league in passing yards and touchdowns, the Commanders' only two wins in their last eight games have come against Atlanta and New England.
27. Green Bay Packers (3-6)
Just when Jordan Love looked really good for the first time in many weeks, he throws an atrocious red zone pick to lose the game on Sunday. He is the definition of one step forward and two steps back.
28. Chicago Bears (3-7)
The Bears won the "We Win No Matter What Bowl" last Thursday night by beating the Carolina Panthers and firming up their grip on that number one overall pick next year.
We Fall Asleep To Tape Of Caleb Williams and Marvin Harrison Jr.
29. Arizona Cardinals (2-8)
You know the Cardinals want Marvin Harrison Jr. to pair with Kyler Murray so what they do with the rest of their season should be fascinating. Murray looked very good in his first game back and also seemed to have no intentions of tanking.
30. New England Patriots (2-8)
Let's check in and see how the Germany trip went.

31. New York Giants (2-8)
After a record-breaking low implied-team total of 11 points last week against Dallas, the Giants' total for Week 11 explodes up to 13.5 points. It's the power of Tommy Devito.
32. Carolina Panthers (1-8)
One stat to show how the Panthers simply don't trust Bryce Young yet. Before the Carolina bye week, Adam Thielen's aDOT was 7.8 yards and he was one of the best receivers in the league. Since that bye week? It is 4.1 yards in a clear signal the coaching staff has instructed Young to stop throwing deep downfield.
