Ten weeks of the 2025 NFL season are in the books. Who are the best teams?
On Tuesday’s edition of “First Things First,” Danny Parkins unveiled his top-10 NFL teams.
What Parkins said: “Here’s a list of things that the Rams are top-10 in the NFL in: passing yards per game, opponent points per game, point differential, turnover differential, takeaways, total yards per game, points per game, turnovers, sacks and opponent rushing yards.”
What Parkins said: “Here’s a list of things that Seattle is ranked in the top 10 this year in the NFL in: times sacked, points differential, sacks, points per game, opponent rushing yards, opponent points per game, passing yards per game, opponent yards per game, total yards per game and takeaways.”
What Parkins said: “They have the most impressive ‘this year’ resume if we just did quality of your wins. I don’t think they’re the best team. The eye test tells me that they don’t look that impressive, but if it’s just, ‘Who have you beaten?’ It’s like, ‘Oh, their problems are probably a little overstated.'”
What Parkins said: “This is as much respect as I can possibly give to a 5-4 football team. Josh Simmons is back, that’s great. Their protection numbers have been great when Simmons is there. Andy Reid is amazing out of the bye week, the best ever. You lose to the Denver Broncos, all bets are off on where they’ll be next week in top-10 Tuesday.”
What Parkins said: “[Their] protection is again. They’re permitting 14.5 factors per sport over their final 4 video games. Lamar Jackson is wonderful. It feels to me like a five-game profitable streak is inevitable. Their subsequent three video games are at residence. Their subsequent two are in opposition to tomato cans. Then, we get to see them perhaps in opposition to Joe Burrow, then in opposition to Pittsburgh. Then, it will get actual, however they will be 6-5 briefly order.”
What Parkins stated: “I do not suppose it was that courageous of Dan Campbell to take over playcalling in opposition to the Washington Commanders, however Jared Goff is having a 12 months the place he is on tempo for his greatest touchdown-interception ratio and greatest passer score and probably the most passing touchdowns of his profession. However their offense is as scary as any group in soccer.”
What Parkins stated: “That is the bottom I’ve had all of them 12 months, by far. They’ve by no means been decrease than fourth this 12 months. The 2-game shedding streak, the no spectacular wins, the spike in turnovers, however that was only a horrible loss to the Miami Dolphins. I count on them to get again up. I nonetheless suppose they’ll win the Tremendous Bowl. I nonetheless suppose their greatest is nearly as good as anybody within the NFL.”
What Parkins stated: “The Patriots are actually good, and TreVeyon Henderson regarded like he did within the preseason [last week], and so they’ve been a top-five dashing group the final 4 weeks. That is going to assist Drake Maye take much less sacks if he can simply flip round and hand it off to a rookie. Good younger core there with Drake Maye and Henderson for the Patriots.”
What Parkins stated: “Jonathan Taylor [1,139 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns this season] is outpacing Saquon Barkley from final 12 months … Jonathan Taylor is smoking Saquon Barkley’s manufacturing from final 12 months.”
What Parkins stated: “Justin Herbert is in a tough scenario. He had lower than 2.25 seconds to throw [per play] in opposition to the Pittsburgh Steelers. It solely occurred 5 occasions this 12 months. … Herbert was pressured 42% of the time. That is how dangerous the offensive line is … that tells you ways good Justin Herbert is.”
