The power rankings are an organic look at the best teams in the NFL’s regular season. It just so happens that the first have of the 2023 season has seen the reigning conference champions from last year, maintain their perches. And thanks to the scheduling rotation, Week 11 brings about a rematch of January’s Super Bowl, when the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs square off on Monday Night Football.
The two teams will test their mettle against each other, but there’s plenty of competition for supremacy behind them. The rest of the top-eight teams all won this week, but there was some shuffling amongst them. Here’s a look at the Week 12 power rankings.
