NFL power rankings entering Week 15 of the 2025 season (previous rank in parentheses):
1. Los Angeles Rams (1): They're holding steady at No. 1 − Sunday's 45-point outburst, a season high, indicative that their Week 13 stumble in Charlotte was a fluke. Matthew Stafford continues to play like the MVP favorite, whether or not he's actually the league's best quarterback. He can further burnish his case Sunday if LA is able to stave off Stafford's former club, the formidable Lions.
2. New England Patriots (2): They're holding steady at No. 2 − though they lost their grip on the AFC's No. 1 seed during their bye week. Drake Maye continues to play like the MVP runner-up, whether or not he's actually the league's second-best quarterback. He can further burnish his case Sunday if New England is able to complete a season sweep of the Bills and wrap up its first AFC East crown since 2019.
3. Seattle Seahawks (3): They're holding steady at No. 3 − thanks in large part to a defense that's surrendered just nine points (and nary a TD) in its past eight quarters. Win their next two games at home (Colts, Rams), and the 'Hawks take possession of the NFC's No. 1 seed.
4. Green Bay Packers (4): They're holding steady at No. 4 − thanks in large part to a 4-0 record in the NFC North, the only one above .500 in what's arguably the league's toughest division. And memo to Ben Johnson, Matt LaFleur is now 12-1 against Chicago since taking the Pack job in 2019 ... and, to be quite frank with you, he'd definitely enjoy beating you twice a year.
