Make it three straight weeks that the No. 1 team in Tom Brady’s power rankings has gone down.
After getting anointed as the No. 1 team last week, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost decisively to the Detroit Lions in Week 7. The result was just one of many that’s brought some chaos to the top as we continue to figure out who the contenders in the league are nearly halfway through the season.
Even the GOAT needed some help to round out his latest top 10, so much so that he called upon a coin to help him pick his 10th team. So, let’s take a look at who Brady has as his new No. 1, and which team between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks was the lucky beneficiary of his coin flip.
Tom Brady’s Week 7 Power Rankings 🚨
Brady’s thoughts: “The Lions are No. 1 after dominating last week’s leader [the Buccaneers]. The celebs had been out with the contributions from Amon-Ra St. Brown, [Jahmyr] Gibbs and [Jared] Goff. I can not wait to listen to that crowd on Thanksgiving.”
“The final two had been robust. I’ve acquired Indy at No. 2, and I’ve acquired nothing unhealthy to say about this workforce. A highway win in LA was virtually sufficient to get them excessive. However I could not do it.
“Look, the Colts would possibly deserve No. 1. The résumé is there. However I simply assume the Lions win head-to-head. They’re energy rankings for a motive, no questions right now.”

“I really like this LA Rams workforce that is transferring as much as No. 3. No Puka Nacua, staying on the East Coast all week and working towards at Camden Yards? Does not matter. Matthew Stafford dominated [the Jaguars] in London to maintain issues rolling.”
“The Bucs keep within the high 5 after a Monday night time loss to the Lions. Detroit may very well be the hardest workforce to beat within the league proper now, so I anticipate Tampa to bounce again subsequent week. And speak about a warrior, I am considering of my brother Mike Evans and wishing him a speedy restoration.”
“The Packers are available in at No. 5. They are not incomes a ton of favor factors these days, however they went into Arizona and picked up one other win. And that is what issues round right here. If not for that weird loss at Cleveland, this workforce may very well be sitting on the high.”
