Cleveland Browns (Record: 4-2, Last week: unranked)Todd Monken is winning games with Deshaun Watson.That’s left Shedeur Sanders watching from the shadows and the Browns as one of the NFL’s most surprising teams entering Week 7.14. Seattle Seahawks (3-3, 9th)Danger, danger.The reigning Super Bowl champs have a quarterback problem and Sam Darnold can’t stop throwing picks.13. Jacksonville Jaguars (4-2, 6th)I spent the last two weekends watching the Jaguars in London.After winning and losing at the last second, I’m still not convinced they’re a real Super Bowl contender.Liam Coen couldn’t believe the Jaguars lost at the last second at Wembleygetty12. Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2, 15th)Ugly wins are perfectly fine for Aaron Rodgers in 2026.The goal for the Steelers is to claw their way to the top of an unforgiving AFC North.11. Cincinnati Bengals (3-2, 12th)The Bengals won by getting a week off.Now, Joe Burrow has to make Cincinnati hot again.10. Baltimore Ravens (4-2, 5th)Baltimore needs Lamar Jackson back ASAP.Derrick Henry wasn’t enough to take down the Browns.The Ravens aren’t the same without Action JacksonGetty9. Detroit Lions (3-2, 8th)Credit to Jared Goff for continuing to put up big numbers.The Lions have remained in the middle of the Super Bowl hunt and likely enjoy being overlooked in 2026.8. New England Patriots (4-2, 7th)The Pats have won three straight games and Drake Maye‘s passer rating has improved to 92 percent, even with his seven interceptions.A tasty Thursday Night Football vs the Chicago Bears is up next.7. Denver Broncos (4-2, 11th)Ryan Fitzpatrick isn’t a big fan of Bo Nix.The bigger issue is what Sean Payton really thinks of a QB who seems to underachieve weekly. NFL's Greatest......Ranking the top 10......Quarterbacks of all-time – Can anyone better Tom Brady?Wide receivers of all-time – Does Randy Moss or Jerry Rice come out on top?Running backs of all-time – Stacking Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith and moreTight ends of all-time – How does Travis Kelce compare?6. Green Bay Packers (4-2, 13th)The Packers fought through early season disappointment to beat the Bears and Cowboys in back-to-back weeks.Jordan Love is also dialing it up, while Micah Parsons is finally close to returning.5. Chicago Bears (4-2, 14th)You might have noticed that there are a lot of good 4-2 teams in the NFL right now.With Caleb Williams playing highly efficient football, Ben Johnson’s Bears are the best among the 4-2 bunch.4. Buffalo Bills (5-1, 3rd)Josh Allen is a monster in the best sense of that term.The Bills’ defense needs work and could let down Buffalo fans at the worst time.3. Minnesota Vikings (5-0, 4th)Speaking of defenses … when is Brian Flores going to get another NFL head coaching job?He’s the best defensive coach in the league in 2026 and has been doing it for years.Brock Purdy has the edge over Patrick Mahomes and Kyler Murraygetty2. Kansas City Chiefs (5-0, 2nd)The pairing of Kenneth Walker III and Patrick Mahomes has been perfect for the Chiefs.There’s only one team standing in Kansas City’s way entering Week 7.1. San Francisco 49ers (6-0, 1st)Mr. Irrelevant now holds the best career passer rating in NFL history.Brock Purdy is also a leading MVP candidate and the starting QB for the best team in the NFL right now.Maybe the 49ers aren’t cursed after all.
