There’s a new number one, the West is wild, and inconsistency is the theme around the NFL. Where does your favorite team rank going into week 12? Let’s dive into the NFL Power Rankings Week 12!

  1. LOS ANGELES RAMS (8-2); Last Game: W vs Seattle 21-19: Matt Stafford passed for a season-low 130 yards, but he is having an MVP caliber season so far. Stafford has a career best 112.8 QB rating, is 1st in passing touchdowns (27), 6th in yards, and has thrown only two interceptions. The defense forced Sam Darnold into his first four interception game since 2019. Had the man seeing ghosts out there. 
  2. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (8-2)***INDIANAPOLIS HAD A BYE WEEK***
  3. DENVER BRONCOS (9-2); Last Game: W vs Kansas City 22-19: Bo Nix led the Broncos to a game winning field goal as time expired, but he continues to underwhelm (3 touchdowns, 3 interceptions in the last three games). Denver is streaking, through the quad, and into the gymnasium. They’re battling for the one seed in the AFC, and their first division title since 2015. With this win, Denver now has a two game division lead over the second place Chargers. 
  4. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (7-3); Last Game: L vs L.A. Rams 21-19: Seattle’s defense played well against the Rams despite the loss, as they held the Rams offense to just 249 total yards. Sam Darnold had his worst game of the season, throwing four interceptions and accounting for zero touchdowns. Jaxon Smith-Njigba became the first player in the Super Bowl era to have 75 receiving yards in each of his team’s first 10 games. 
  5. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (8-2); Last Game: W vs Detroit 16-9: This Eagles team has not been great this season, yet are still 8-2 and riding a four game winning streak. Saquon Barkley’s disappointing season continues, as he has been held to 3.2 yards per carry or less in three of his last four games. Jalen Hurts continues to operate as a glorified game manager. he completed just 50% of his passes for 135 passing yards and zero touchdown passes, finishing with a season-low 63.8 QB rating. Philly will be without stud right tackle Lane Johnson for the rest of the regular season due to a Lisfranc injury. 
  6. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (9-2); Last Game: W vs N.Y. Jets 27-14: New England continues to beat up on bad teams, but I can’t hate on an eight game winning streak. Drake Maye leads the league in passing and is a legit MVP candidate right now. Is it FINALLY TreVeyon Henderson time (93 total yards, 3 touchdowns)?! This team feels a year away from being true contenders, but the Vrabel effect is real. 
  7. BUFFALO BILLS (7-3); Last Game: W vs Tampa Bay 44-32: When Josh Allen scores six touchdowns, Buffalo is tough to beat. Allen threw three touchdown passes, and scored three more touchdowns on the ground. This defense again struggled to stop Tampa Bay’s ground game (without , allowing 202 rushing yards. Buffalo now ranks 31st against the run, and let a third string running back have a career day.
  8. DETROIT LIONS (6-4); Last Game: L vs Philadelphia 16-9: This game gave me flashbacks to the week one debacle against Green Bay. Jared Goff had arguably the worst game of his career, completing a career-low 37.8% of his passes. Amon-Ra St.Brown did nothing, securing just two of his 12 targets for a season low 42 yards. Jahmyr Gibbs had his first 100 yard receiving game of the year, but put up just 39 rushing yards on 12 carries. The Philly defensive line and secondary dominated all game. Dan Campbell has been great for Detroit, but he’s getting too cute now. Detroit went 3/13 on third down, and 0/5 on fourth. Kicking a damn field goal and coming away with points is a good thing!
  9. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (5-5); Last Game: L vs Denver 22-19: The defense was good, but the offense struggled (again) against an elite defense. Kansas City converted only 5/13 third downs, and totaled 311 yards. They once again struggled to run the ball as a team, putting up 62 total rushing yards. Is this team making the playoffs?
  10. GREEN BAY PACKERS (6-3-1); Last Game: W vs N.Y. Giants 27-20: After a two game skid where the offense scored 20 points combined, Green Bay’s offense got back on track against the Giants. Keep an eye on the Josh Jacobs injury. He left the game in the second quarter with a knee injury and did not return. 

  11. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (6-4); Last Game: L vs Buffalo 44-32
  12. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (7-4); Last Game: W vs Arizona 41-22
  13. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (7-4); Last Game: L vs Jacksonville 35-6
  14. CHICAGO BEARS (7-3); Last Game: W vs Minnesota 19-17
  15. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (6-4); Last Game: W vs L.A. Chargers 35-6
  16. BALTIMORE RAVENS (5-5); Last Game: W vs Cleveland 23-16
  17. PITTSBURGH STEELERS (6-4); Last Game: W vs Cincinnati 34-12
  18. CAROLINA PANTHERS (6-5); Last Game: W vs Atlanta 30-27
  19. HOUSTON TEXANS (5-5); Last Game: W vs Tennessee 16-13
  20. DALLAS COWBOYS (4-5-1); Last Game: W vs Las Vegas 33-16
  21. MIAMI DOLPHINS (4-7); Last Game: W vs Washington 16-13
  22. MINNESOTA VIKINGS (4-6); Last Game: L vs Chicago 19-17
  23. ARIZONA CARDINALS (3-7); Last Game: L vs San Francisco 41-22
  24. ATLANTA FALCONS (3-7); Last Game: L vs Carolina 30-27
  25. CINCINNATI BENGALS (3-7); Last Game: L vs Pittsburgh 34-12
  26. WASHINGTON COMMANDERS (3-8); Last Game: L vs Miami 16-13
  27. NEW YORK GIANTS (2-9); Last Game: L vs Green Bay 27-20
  28. NEW YORK JETS (2-8); Last Game: L vs New England 27-14
  29. LAS VEGAS RAIDERS (2-8); Last Game: L vs Dallas 33-16
  30. CLEVELAND BROWNS (2-8); Last Game: L vs Baltimore 23-16
  31. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (2-8); Last Game: ***NEW ORLEANS HAD A BYE WEEK***
  32. TENNESSEE TITANS (1-9); Last Game: L vs Houston 16-13
