Overview
- The Eagles range from No. 1 to No. 4 across outlets, with their defense praised and the offense questioned as RT Lane Johnson faces a 4–6 week absence with a Lisfranc injury.
- The Rams climb to No. 1 at ESPN, NFL.com and Sports Illustrated after a 21–19 win over the Seahawks, while other rankings keep them firmly in the top tier.
- The Colts jump into the elite — No. 1 at PhillyVoice and top three elsewhere — as CBS highlights their league-best yards per play and the Daniel Jones–Jonathan Taylor tandem.
- The Broncos crack several top fives on a long win streak that includes a victory over the Chiefs, though CBS underscores a bottom-tier passing game despite a top-ranked defense.
- The Patriots hold top-five spots at multiple outlets at 9–2 on efficient quarterback play and an opportunistic defense, while Kansas City’s recent inconsistency draws skepticism.
