There are a few firsts in Tom Brady’s NFL power rankings this week.
First, the Dallas Cowboys are on the list. Dallas has won three straight, including last week on Thanksgiving against the defending champs. Second, the Philadelphia Eagles are out of Brady’s top 10 for the first time this season. Philly was trounced by the Bears on Black Friday and is trending downward late in the season.
Something that isn’t a first for the season? Brady moved a team into the No. 1 spot and that squad lost its next game.
Here’s a full look at his top 10 ahead of Week 14.
Tom Brady’s Week 13 Power Rankings 🚨
Brady’s Thoughts: “Wins over the Eagles and Chiefs have America’s team back in the mix. But can they chase down a trip to the playoffs?”

“The Packers beat the Lions on Thanksgiving day, setting up a top-five showdown against the team you’ll hear about shortly. Micah Parsons looks like, well, Micah Parsons, and this is shaping into a well-rounded football team.”

“The Seahawks pitched a shutout to pull even near the top of the NFC West, which might be the best division in football. I think whoever comes out of this race could be the favorite in the NFC come playoff time.”
“Ben Johnson has his shirt off and the bears move up to number three. ‘KB’ and I will be on the call in Green Bay on Sunday for what’s shaping up to be the game of the year. This defense looks like a classic Dennis Allen-style unit, and they’ll be ready for Jordan Love and the Pack.”

“Denver escaped in overtime against the Commanders and sits at number two this week. Sometimes, going on the road and winning a test like this can bring a team together toward the end of the season. And I expect Sean Payton to pull all the right levers heading into December.”
“After a serious drought, the New England Patriots are number one in the power rankings. New England hasn’t played the league’s hardest schedule — it’s actually been the easiest — but this team passes the eye test and Vrabel had them flying around on all three phases on Monday night.”
“The Pats head into a bye this week, so good timing to avoid a loss, but I might see something in that Bears-Packers game that could shake things up at the top,” Brady added.
