Welcome to the Week 11 edition of Chase’s Sports News NFL Power Rankings! Week 10 brought us the game of the year, and saw some of the league’s most prestigious teams so far go down. How does this affect the rankings! And who is the new No. 1? Let’s, get into this!
1. Kansas City Chiefs (7-2) – 27-17 over Jaguars | Up 1 | Highest Ranking: 1 (Week 11)
The Kansas City Chiefs have consistently found themselves in the top five, but are making their first appearance at No. 1. The league’s leader in passing yards and passing touchdowns, Patrick Mahomes, is making himself a case for a second MVP award. The Chiefs have a good touch for receivers, as Kadarius Toney got his first career touchdown in a Chiefs uniform, even though that was just one of Mahomes four touchdowns on Sunday afternoon!
Next week matchup: @ Chargers
2. Miami Dolphins (7-3) – 39-17 over Browns | Up 2 | Highest Ranking: 1 (Week 4)
Patrick Mahomes does have competition for that MVP award, because Tua Tagovailoa has made a case for it. Tua is easily leading the league in passer rating, while having an 18-3 touchdown to interception ratio on the 2nd seed in the AFC. You can also thank Tyreek Hill, who is on pace to be 2nd all time ever in receiving yards in he doesn’t suffer injuries, and Jaylen Waddle, who is 4th in the NFL in receiving yards. But when you have three straight games of three touchdowns and no interceptions, the quarterback is clearly doing something right!
Next week matchup: Bye
3. Minnesota Vikings (8-1) – 33-30 over Bills | Up 2 | Highest Ranking: 3 (Week 11)
JJETAS is absolutely incredible! Not only did he make Odell Beckham Jr. and David Tyree all of a sudden feel sad after his incredible one handed snag on 4th and 18 to keep his team alive, but he also had 193 yards and was Minnesota’s go-to target in the fourth quarter. He is not only on pace to be the NFL’s all time leader in receiving yards, but he is one pace to break the 2,000 yard receiving mark, which would be the first time anyone has ever accomplished the feat! He makes up for Kirk Cousins two interceptions, and Dalvin Cook’s dropped touchdown passes, so Kirk Cousins can dance on the way back. And speaking of dancing, Justin Jefferson can griddy all he wants, after he was the main reason his team beat a 6-2 Bills in Buffalo in the best game of the season!
Next week matchup: vs. Cowboys
4. Philadelphia Eagles (8-1) – 32-21 loss to Commanders | Down 3 | Highest Ranking: 1 (Week 10)
The Eagles, have not only lost their No. 1 spot, but have fallen to No. 4! I’m sorry, but when you lose by double digits to a 4-5 team at home (as I predicted), you don’t deserve to be a top three team in the NFL. Jalen Hurts was very inconsistent, but Brian Robinson Jr. is showing why Alabama is still the best college football program to go, as this Eagles defense is allowing over 124 yards on the ground per game! Even though we’ll see what Ndamukong Suh can do in an Eagles uniform, I would not be happy to be an Eagles fan right now, as the Giants and Cowboys are on their toes with possibilities to earn tiebreaker in the 2nd half of the season based of head-to-head!
Next week matchup: @ Colts
5. Buffalo Bills (6-3) – 33-30 loss to Vikings | Down 2 | Highest Ranking: 1 (Week 9)
It is crazy to think that Buffalo is three plays way from 9-0, and instead they sit at 3rd in their division! Josh Allen is making a great case not to be MVP, as he had two interceptions and a crucial fumble to give Minnesota the lead. Their defense is no longer playing stellar, and the running game does nothing to help them, even though James Cook should be running the ball more than he actually does. I wouldn’t be too worried, but I would be a little bit if I were a Bills fan!
Next week matchup: vs. Browns
6. Baltimore Ravens (6-3) – Bye Week | Up 1 | Highest Ranking: 5 (Week 6)
7. Tennessee Titans (6-3) – 17-10 over Broncos | Up 2 | Highest Ranking: 7 (Week 11)
