Top 5 NFL Power Rankings:
5) Baltimore Ravens:
The Ravens are 5-2 despite having 16 players landing on Injured Reserve. The Ravens have not missed a beat. They are Ranked 3rd in total yards per game, and 3rd in rushing yards. Baltimore’s defense has not been great but, they are only giving up a first down on 3rd down 32% of the time. That is 4th in the NFL. Lamar Jackson should be n the conversation for MVP and Jim Harbaugh could win coach of the year.
4) Buffalo Bills:
The Bills are 5-2 and they will be a scary team to go up against during the playoffs. The Bills defense is no.1 in almost every category. They are 1st in yards allowed and only giving up 15.6 points per game. That is first as well. The Bills rotate and use 7-10 players on their defensive line. They are fresh in the 4th quarter and wear out offensive linemen. Josh Allen is averaging 320 passing yards per game, has 17 passing touchdowns and only 3 interceptions. This team still needs a running game but they are dominating both sides of the ball.
3) Dallas Cowboys:
Dallas has playmakers on both sides of their offense and defense. The Cowboys only have 12 sacks on the year but Micah Parson could be rookie of the year and Trevon Diggs has 7 interceptions. This could be the best offense in the NFL. Dak Prescott is completing 73% of his passes. The Cowboys are averaging 4.9 yards per rushing attempt, and they are ranked 3rd in points per game.
2) LA Rams:
LA is 7-1 for a reason, they could have the most complete team on both sides of the ball. On defense, they have three playmakers. Aaron Donald is a 3x defensive player of the year. Jalen Ramsey is an elite cornerback and Von Miller coming over from Denver will help their pass rush. Mathew Stafford has 22 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. He is averaging over 312 yards per game. Cooper Kupp has 63 catches, 928 yards, and 10 touchdowns in 8 games
1) Green Bay Packers:
The Packers lost the first game of the season to the Saints, 38-3. They have been unbeatable since then. Green Bay is 7-1 and does not appear to be slowing down. The Packers are a physical team on both sides of the ball. They can run up the middle, use their speed or throw the ball with Aaron Rodgers. The Green Bay quarterback has 17 touchdowns, 3 interceptions, and over 1800 yards. Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon are the best 1-2, running back combination, in the NFL. Devante Adams is an elite WR who can make plays all over the field. This team was built on finesse a few years ago. They are now a physical team.
