Welcome to the JetNation NFL Power Rankings for Week Eleven of 2023. This week’s rankings highlight the league’s top contenders and rising stars as we move deeper into the season. The Philadelphia Eagles continue to dominate, while teams like the Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys are in hot pursuit. Keep an eye on under-the-radar performers like the Detroit Lions, who are quietly climbing the ranks. Let’s dive into the rankings to see where your favorite team stands in the quest for supremacy.
1. Philadelphia Eagles (8-1)
Last Week: 1
The Eagles head to Kansas City to play the Chiefs on Monday night. This is the game of the year so far, and a chance for the Eagles to avenge their Super Bowl loss.
2. Kansas City Chiefs (7-2)
Last Week: 2
The Chiefs oddly have a lot to prove in the Monday night rematch of Super Bowl LVII. Many believe the team has slipped from where they were when they raised the Lombardi trophy in January. I think we will see Kansas City’s best game.
3. Dallas Cowboys (6-3)
Last Week: 4
The Cowboys battered the Giants. The Cowboys have proved they can blow out the league’s worst teams. They need to find a signature win for anyone to start caring.
4. Detroit Lions (7-2)
Last Week: 6
The Lions are back under the radar and loving life. There is no noise around the Lions despite their gaudy record. If they can manage the Bears at home this week, Detroit may find themselves at the top of the conference standings.
5. Baltimore Ravens (7-3)
Last Week 3
The Ravens let the Browns up off the canvas and lost in devastating fashion Sunday. Baltimore needs to recover quickly as they face a desperate Cincinnati Bengals team this week with their division foes nipping at their heels.
6. Miami Dolphins (6-3)
Last Week: 8
Miami has had a week to think about the loss to Kansas City and to hear the talk of their mediocrity. I think they will take some of that frustration out this week against the Raiders.
7. San Francisco 49ers (6-3)
Last Week: 9
The Niners got some important pieces back on offense and slammed the Jaguars all over the field on Sunday. It was a solid performance from a desperate team.
8. Cleveland Browns (6-3)
Last Week: 10
The Browns got a huge victory on the road in Baltimore. The comeback can be a season-changing win if the Browns can channel the emotion and confidence into their play.
9. Jacksonville Jaguars (6-3)
Last Week: 5
The Jags got humbled against San Francisco. Jacksonville needs to somehow move forward and prove they belong in the conversation for the AFC crown.
10. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-3)
Last Week: Unranked
The Steelers seemingly win with mirrors for those who don’t appreciate defense. Each of Pittsburgh’s last five opponents have failed to score more than 20 points. The Steelers get to show everyone how good they are with back-to-back road games coming in Cleveland and Cincinnati.
———————————————————————–
24. New York Jets (4-4)
Last Week: 20
The Jets are not going to change anything, so we should stop expecting anything to change. The team will not win unless the defense can hold their opponents to under ten points. The Bills are good enough to put up more than ten, so expect another tough outing.
