Description

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — There will be no winless team in 2025. There are three of them bad enough to pull it off, but they all avoided the bagel.

Your Week 9 NFL Power Rankings...

32. Tennessee Titans (1-7) - I thought the revamped offensive line would give them a chance to win more games. Nope. They are still the worst offense in the NFL and haven't been close to winning any of their losses.

🏈 TITAN UP all season long with the latest news and notes on the Tennessee Titans

31. New York Jets (1-7) - It's pretty telling that the Jets' win almost mirrored the Titans in that it took a dramatic fourth quarter rally, and they won by 1 whopping point.

30 New Orleans Saints (1-7) - If life were fair, they would all be ranked 32 together, but life is not fair. We have to watch these teams every week, and of these three dumpster fires, the Saints have been the most competitive each week.

29. Las Vegas Raiders (2-5) - They are really, really, really bad, but this is not the year for that. You have to be even worse. They have about two more winnable games left, but in this craptastic season, 3-14 will still probably only earn them the fourth pick of the draft, third at best.

28. Cleveland Browns (2-6) - I do not want to see Myles Garrett complain for one second. He took the money. He knew who he plays for, and they are just as bad as normal no matter how great he is.

27. New York Giants (2-6) - We all knew Cam Skattebo would get hurt throwing himself around like that; it still stunk to see it. The NFL is clearly a better place with him in it.

26. Arizona Cardinals (2-5) - Don't look now, but we just threw another gallon of gas on the NFL dumpster fire. Looking at the schedule the rest of the way, 2-15 is on the table for the desert pigeons. Wow, could the Raiders shuffle all the way to fifth overall in the draft?

25. Miami Dolphins (2-6) - Stat of the week, the Dolphins are undefeated when Tua doesn't wash his hands.

24. Atlanta Falcons (3-4) - Who is this team!!!???

23. Carolina Panthers (4-4) - I never thought I would see a quarterback make me pine to watch Bryce Young again, but Andy Dalton did it. Well done.

22. Cincinnati Bengals (3-5) - How on Earth did this team give up 39 points and 500 yards to a team that still hasn't figured out the forward pass?

21. Minnesota Vikings (3-4) - They get JJ McCarthy back, but with the schedule that is in front of them, Kevin O'Connell will have to turn in an epic coaching performance to get this team over .500.

20. Washington Commanders (3-5) - Injuries and the schedule matter. The Commanders are Exhibit A. Good team in a bad spot.

19. Houston Texans (3-4) - The Texans get off the deck with a big win over the 49ers. The biggest stat to me is their struggling offensive line got through the game without allowing a sack.

18. Dallas Cowboys (3-4-1) - They may not win a championship this year, but Lamb, Williams and Prescott could help win some fantasy championships this season!

17. Jacksonville Jaguars (4-3) - They still have two with the Titans, Jets, Cardinals and Raiders this Sunday. If they do not post nine wins this season, they should feel shame, shame, shame!!!

16. Chicago Bears (4-3) - Learn to handle success, guys. C'mon man!!!

15. Baltimore Ravens (2-5) - Yeah, the record stinks, but Lamar Jackson is back this week, and I have a sneaking suspicion they go on a run.

14. Pittsburgh Steelers (4-3) - What is going on with that defense? 68 points in 2 weeks? Yikes.

13. San Francisco 49ers (5-3) - Yeah, I know 49er fans hate me, but look!!!! You're ranked ahead of the Texans, and they just beat you.

12. Los Angeles Chargers (5-3) - Joe Alt is back, and that is very bad news for the Titans and anyone else who faces the Chargers the rest of the way. Yes, he makes a big difference.

11. Denver Broncos (6-2) - Four wins in a row, and their offense is getting it together. Bo Nix had four touchdowns against the Cowboys. I had five, Julian had six, but four isn't bad.

10. New England Patriots (6-2) - Drake Maye is playing at a really high level, and I would like to rank them higher, but only one of their six wins came against an actual NFL team. Got fat on a lot of bottom feeders. Still wins, but now it's time to impress.

9. Seattle Seahawks (5-2) - Glad they are back from the bye because I don't like Sundays without JSN going off for 150 yards a game.

8. Los Angeles Rams (5-2) - Matt Stafford with 17 TDs in seven games, and now he's coming off a bye week with the Saints.

7. Tampa Bay Bucs (6-2) - The next 3 weeks are tough, after that they could really stack some wins together. How much testosterone will be on the field this week with Mike Vrabel facing Baker Mayfield?

6. Green Bay Packers (5-1-1) - Jordan Love vanquishes the Packers Ex for their 5th win.

5. Buffalo Bills (5-2) - A bye week and then the Panthers, X-Mas came early for the Bills, who also got to see Andy Dalton on their way to a 30-point win. That defense has to be better in the second half.

4. Philadelphia Eagles (6-2) - They got Saquon Barkley rolling, and last I saw, he had a huge year last season when they won it all.

3. Indianapolis Colts (7-1) - You could absolutely rank them number one, but if they played the Chiefs or Lions, I would be taking Detroit and KC. Even if you threw out Jonathan Taylor's 80 yard run last week, he would have still averaged about 6.5 yards a carry.

2. Kansas City Chiefs (5-3) - Yeah, they have three losses, so what!? They've outscored their last 3 opponents 89-24, and Patrick Mahomes looks pretty darn good.

1. Detroit Lions (5-2) - I know they didn't play, and this won't be a popular choice from people who are victims of the moment, but this team is sensational to watch. So many weapons and able to overcome injuries.
