Throughout this NFL season, former NFL quarterback and current Fox Sports broadcaster Tom Brady has released his top-five list of teams each week.
This week, he continued that trend.
“Coming in at No. 5 and making their debut in my power rankings, the Philadelphia Eagles…Moving up to No. 4 this week is the Pittsburgh Steelers…Falling to No. 3 this week, the Kansas City Chiefs…Coming in at No. 2 this week, the Buffalo Bills…We have a new No. 1…It’s the Detroit Lions,” Brady said Thursday.

Of course, given everything Brady has accomplished in his career, it is hard to find a better NFL mind.
He noted that the Eagles have won six consecutive games since their bye week.
Nick Sirianni and Co. have scored 20+ points in each of those six wins and have continued to play strong defense.
The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the rival Baltimore Ravens last Sunday without scoring a touchdown.
All Mike Tomlin does is put his team in playoff position, which is why the Steelers have a record of 8-2.
The Kansas City Chiefs are still the Kansas City Chiefs despite losing on the road to Buffalo, which could help them out in the long run.
Now, they don’t have the extra pressure of an undefeated season weighing them down.
The Buffalo Bills look like a real threat to the Chiefs’ Super Bowl hopes, and they could face them again in late January.
Of course, the Detroit Lions might be the best team in football after putting up 52 points on offense last week.
It is hard to disagree with Brady’s list.
