By Nick Ferraro Posted On November 9, 2024

NFL Power Rankings: As we dive into Week Ten, we take a closer look at what lies ahead for each of the top ten teams this November. Will they keep their spots, or will November bring surprises?

1. Kansas City Chiefs (8-0)

Last Week: 1

The Chiefs were tested Monday night and came out on top yet again. DeAndre Hopkins looks like he will have a career resurgence in KC, with 8 catches for 86 yards and two touchdowns.

November: DEN, @BUF, @CAR, LV. November could be perfect for Kansas City if they can play well in Buffalo. The Broncos, Panthers, and Raiders will struggle to score more than 14 points on the Chief’s defense.

2. Detroit Lions (7-1)

Last Week: 2

The Lions notched a big road win at Green Bay on Sunday. The Lion’s defense was particularly impressive, holding the Packers out of the end zone until late in the fourth quarter.

November: @HOU, JAC, @IND, CHI. The Texans will be a challenge if they can get one or more of their injured wideouts back. Detroit could put up a perfect November if they win this week.

3. Buffalo Bills (7-2)

Last Week: 4

The Bills surprisingly struggled to move the ball in the first half Sunday against Miami. Buffalo erupted for 24 in the second half, but they need more consistency going forward.

November: @IND, KC, BYE, SF. If they can conquer the Chiefs at home, Buffalo could be perfect for the month and lock up the AFC East early.

4. Baltimore Ravens (6-3)

Last Week: 6

The Ravens ripped Denver on Sunday, taking out their frustrations from the loss to Cleveland. Lamar Jackson has 20 touchdowns on the season against just 2 interceptions.

November: CIN, @PIT, @LAC. The next two weeks are crucial for the AFC North race.

5. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2)

Last Week: 7

The switch to Russell Wilson has energized the Steeler offense. Pittsburgh might go against their usual tendencies and make moves to strengthen their first-place position.

November: @WAS, BAL, @CLE, @PHI. Pittsburgh faces a tough November schedule; a misstep could create challenges in December.

6. Minnesota Vikings (6-2)

Last Week: 8

The Vikings couldn’t get much going in the first half against Indy, but the defense kept them in the game, limiting the Colts to six second-half points.

November: @JAC, @TEN, @CHI. Three straight road games in November could set them on a championship path if they emerge victorious.

7. Green Bay Packers (6-3)

Last Week: 3

The Packers struggled against Detroit, managing just one touchdown late in the game. They’ll need to address issues to avoid a winless November.

November: @CHI, SF, MIA. Without adjustments, the Packers could have a challenging November.

8. Washington Commanders (7-2)

Last Week: 8

Washington took control against the Giants, with rookie Jayden Daniels showing his skills as the fifth highest-rated passer in the league.

November: PIT, @PHI, DAL. November will reveal if Washington is a contender in the NFC East, facing the toughest schedule among the power ten teams.

9. Philadelphia Eagles (5-2)

Last Week: 10

The Eagles narrowly secured a win against Jacksonville after allowing a late comeback attempt. Jalen Hurts connected with Devonta Smith to seal the game.

November: @DAL, WAS, BYE, @LAR. Philadelphia could end Dallas’s season early, but a rising Rams team makes November challenging.

10. Houston Texans (6-3)

Last Week: 5

Injuries to their receiving corps have affected Houston’s offense. They struggled against the Jets, managing just their lowest point total of the year.

November: DET, @DAL, TEN. If their receivers stay healthy, the Texans could dominate the AFC South, but struggles may turn it into a fight.

21. New York Jets (3-6)

Last Week: 28

The Jets gave fans a reason to hope after Thursday’s big win. Aaron Rodgers threw for three touchdowns, completing 22 of 32 attempts, while the defense held the Texans to 135 yards and sacked Houston eight times.

November: @AZ, IND. Can the Jets build off this win, or will inconsistency continue? November’s schedule is manageable, setting up for a promising December. Thursday’s effort brought back hope, but fans remain cautious.
