I'm staying status quo from top down. The Buffalo Bills stay one... At two, your San Francisco 49ers... At number three... the Chicago Bears... The Jacksonville Jaguars at 4... And at 5. My Detroit Lions.
Sixth in the Week 9 power rankings , the Jaguars have earned a place in the championship discussion.

Here are my week 10 power rankings brought to you by SoFi... I'm putting the Green Bay Packers here at ten... Number nine, I'm putting the Pittsburgh Steelers here at nine... Number eight, I'm putting the Detroit Lions here... putting the Broncos here at seven... I have the Chiefs here at six... I'm putting the Bengals top five now... I'm keeping the Jaguars at four. Number three, down two spots. I'm putting the bears at three... I knocked the Niners up one. They're at two, and I put the seven and one Buffalo Bills number one again.
Minnesota was the biggest faller of the week, down five spots to No. 11... 18. Cowboys (↑4) 19. Texans (↑4) 23. Saints (↑3)
the Buffalo Bills stay one... At two, your San Francisco 49ers... At number three... The Chicago Bears... The Jacksonville Jaguars at 4... And at 5, my Detroit Lions.
But his impact has matched the price tag, and the Bears very much look like a top-tier Super Bowl contender.
PFT's Week 10 2026 NFL power rankings: 1. Bills ... 32. Chargers (No. 32; 0-8): Do they know they're winless?
Rk Teams Chg Rcrd 1 Bills ... 32 Chargers
The injuries in the opening minutes of the matchup against Buffalo relegated the Ravens from Super Bowl contention to a potential last-place finish in their own division.
Monday's 34-17 win on the road over the Seattle Seahawks might have been a passing of the torch from last year's champions to the best team of 2026.

Ranking the Steelers' Remaining 2026 Regular Season Opponents — No. 8: Tennessee Titans ... No. 1: Denver Broncos
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Nov 4, 2026 These are my week nine power rankings brought to you by SoFi. Back on the list, I'm putting the Detroit Lions on this list... the Pittsburgh Steelers are making their debut in week nine at number nine... Number eight, up one spot are the Bengals... Number seven, up three spots are the Broncos... I keep the Chiefs right there at six... Up two spots are your Patriots... Up four spots are the Jacksonville Jaguars... Number three. Down one spot on their bye week. I'm putting the Niners here... The Bills... I've knocked them down one... which is why I'm putting the Bears atop my power rankings.
I think the San Francisco 49ers... are the most complete team in the National Football League... But the Buffalo Bills stay at two for me... And at number three... the Bears are there... At number four, Jags... And at number five, the Broncos.
The Buffalo Bills, with the win over the Baltimore Ravens, stay at one. The 49ers, on a bye, they stay at two... Chicago is at three. At four... the Jacksonville Jaguars... I am putting them [Detroit Lions] at five
That's why Pete Prisco launched them up five spots in his Week 9 NFL Power Rankings... Multiple teams actually climbed even more aggressively than the Steelers: 3. Jaguars (↑6) 16. Buccaneers (↑7) 21. Cardinals (↑7)
Chicago is a complete team capable of standing atop the NFL at season's end.
1. Bills (last week No. 1; 6-1) ... 32. Chargers (No. 32; 0-7)
