Tom Brady's NFL Power Rankings: Patriots, Rams Climb, But Did They Overtake Eagles?

Unlike the last few weeks, the No. 1 team in Tom Brady's power rankings didn't lose in Week 10. However, the Philadelphia Eagles might not have put up the performance worthy of being considered the No. 1 team in the NFL, squeaking out a 10-7 win over the Green Bay Packers on Monday. 

A few other hopeful contenders, meanwhile, made convincing statements to possibly knock the Eagles off the top spot in the power rankings in Week 10. As the debate for the No. 1 team is up for debate, there is one thing Brady is certain about.

I guess he's kind of proven that with the no-look pass, right? I should've tried that more, it looks so cool."
