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 have been out with the contributions from Amon-Ra St. Brown, [Jahmyr] Gibbs and [Jared] Goff. I am unable to wait to listen to that crowd on Thanksgiving.”
“The final two have been robust. I’ve obtained Indy at No. 2, and I’ve obtained nothing dangerous to say about this crew. A highway win in LA was nearly 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 suppose the Lions win head-to-head. They’re energy rankings for a purpose, no questions at the moment.”

“I like this LA Rams crew that is shifting as much as No. 3. No Puka Nacua, staying on the East Coast all week and working towards at Camden Yards? Would not matter. Matthew Stafford dominated [the Jaguars] in London to maintain issues rolling.”
“The Bucs keep within the prime 5 after a Monday night time loss to the Lions. Detroit could possibly be the hardest crew to beat within the league proper now, so I anticipate Tampa to bounce again subsequent week. And speak about a warrior, I am pondering of my brother Mike Evans and wishing him a speedy restoration.”
“The Packers are available in at No. 5. They don’t seem to be incomes a ton of favor factors recently, 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 crew could possibly be sitting on the prime.”
