Patrick Mahomes, Dak Prescott and Matthew Stafford are dreaming of the same thing.The long wait until a new NFL season is almost over, and the best quarterbacks in the league are all aiming for a Super Bowl trophy that can only be won by one team. Josh Allen has a new head coach in BuffalogettyWith a 2026 kickoff between the reigning champion Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots set for September 9 at Lumen Field, talkSPORT has updated its NFL power rankings.This list includes the top 15 teams in the NFL right now.As a result, the Las Vegas Raiders, Tennessee Titans, Arizona Cardinals, New York Jets and Miami Dolphins won’t get mentioned again.Quarterback problems for the Atlanta Falcons and Cleveland Browns also kept those teams out of the NFL’s current top 15. Keep checking back regularly as we move from Week 1 to Week 18, the NFL playoffs and Super Bowl LXI at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.15. Green Bay Packers (Last season: 9-7-1)Thankfully it’s still the preseason for the Packers.Losing 28-9 to Drew Allar while Aaron Rodgers watched from afar wasn’t the best way to start a new season.It’s on Jordan Love to prove that he’s worth a $220 million contract. Green Bay could also be without starting running back Josh Jacobs for a Week 1 road opener vs the Minnesota Vikings. 14. Detroit Lions (9-8)It’s a bounceback season for Dan Campell, who lost his coaching magic in 2025 and now wants a better sideline view to throw challenge flags. It’s a critical season for Jared Goff, who put up big numbers last year but could end up in 2026 as the third-best QB in the NFC North.Dan Campbell wants to bring a Super Bowl trophy to DetroitGetty13. Kansas City Chiefs (6-11)It all comes down to Patrick Mahomes.And the Chiefs’ running backs, wide receivers and defense. Early injuries are already stacking up in Kansas City, while Travis Kelce needs to get into game shape. The Chiefs went 0-2-1 in the preseason but the real test is Week 1 vs the defending AFC West champion Denver Broncos. 12. San Francisco 49ers (12-5)Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.The 49ers will be a Super Bowl contender — if they can stay healthy. That’s already been a problem during training camp.Aaron Donald is back and the Los Angeles Rams are serious Super Bowl contendersgetty11. Baltimore Ravens (8-9)It’s a comeback season for Lamar Jackson, who fell off to the point that his peers ranked him No. 69 in the league.Jesse Minter is replacing John Harbaugh in Baltimore, but still can give the ball on first and third down to powerhouse Derrick Henry.Henry is a future Hall of Famer and one of the best running backs in the league.10. Jacksonville Jaguars (13-4)The Jaguars won the AFC South last year, while Liam Coen won over his ‘Duval’ critics.Add in a healthy Travis Hunter — who’s highly motivated and still hoping to star on both sides of the field — and Jacksonville won’t surprise anyone this year.But the Jags definitely have the talent to go back-to-back in the AFC South and return to the postseason in 2026 — if they can hold off the Houston Texans. 9. Dallas Cowboys (7-9-1)The Cowboys are adamant that they’re Super Bowl or bust in 2026.Signing veteran pass rusher Von Miller to a smart one-year deal should help Jerry Jones finally get back to the NFL’s biggest stage.It’s time for Dak Prescott to finally reach the big game. 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?8. Houston Texans (12-5)Speaking of quarterbacks who must step up in the playoffs … the Texans would be even higher on this list if C.J. Stroud was more dependable.If he wants the big money, Stroud has got to stop holding back Houston’s offense.A surprise reunion with Jadeveon Clowney only makes the Texans’ defense stronger, and that unit will again carry Houston in 2026. 7. Chicago Bears (11-6)The hype train is following Caleb Williams as the new Iceman dreams of his first Super Bowl. Ben Johnson was a winner in year one and Chicago fans are ready to believe, even if the Bears leave Chicago. 6. New England Patriots (14-3)The Patriots were shredded in the Super Bowl and Mike Vrabel had a horrible offseason.But that football script can be flipped with a Week 1 win on national TV vs the banged-up Seahawks. Mike Vrabel is trying to move the Patriots past a chaotic offseasonGetty5. Denver Broncos (14-3)Adding Jaylen Waddle means that Bo Nix has no excuses.Denver has a Super Bowl-ready roster and Nix must prove that he’s the right playoff QB for Sean Payton. The Broncos are ranked No. 5 right now but they could slip downward in 2026. 4. Seattle Seahawks (14-3)The Seahawks were almost perfect in the last Super Bowl.They’re still a top contender this year.But how many injuries can Seattle withstand within a defense that carried the team to a world champioship in 2025?3. Philadelphia Eagles (11-6)Now that the A.J. Brown vs Jalen Hurts beef is over, it’s time for the Eagles to move on to bigger and better things.Like repeating as the kings of the NFC East and returning to the Super Bowl. Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts have a new outlook in 2026Getty2. Buffalo Bills (12-5)Josh Allen will have a new controversial spaceship stadium but the same Bills Mafia cheering him on.With rookie head coach Joe Brady now calling the shots in Buffalo, the first answer should be taking all of the extra weight off Allen’s strong shoulders.1. Los Angeles Rams (12-5)Matthew Stafford is 38 but he’s now backed by Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett on defense.The Rams have been close the last two years.They’re the best team in the league as the preseason nears its conclussion, and have an NFL MVP and future Hall of Famer at QB.Reaching Super Bowl LXI at SoFi starts with a fascinating Week 1 matchup vs the San Francisco 49ers on a long flight to Melbourne, Australia.
