Tom Brady's NFL Power Rankings: Pats, Packers Take Big Drops As Playoffs Loom

After a few months of chaos around the NFL, the playoff picture is starting to come into shape. In fact, Tom Brady believes we have over 10 teams that have proven their mettle this season.

"Back in November, it felt like nobody could stay in the top 10. Now, everyone is riding a winning streak, and it feels like it's impossible to kick anyone out," Brady said. "It's great news for football fans, though. We've got a dozen teams that have proven they can win games when it matters. We're set up for one of the most wide-open playoffs in over a decade."

That sentiment was proven this past weekend when the previous No. 1 team in Brady's power rankings, the New England Patriots, lost in Week 15 to another contender in the Buffalo Bills. Is there a new No. 1 in TB12's power rankings this week? Here's his full top 10 ahead of Week 16: 

Brady's Thoughts: "They didn't deserve it, but the Texans ended up on the outside looking in this week with an honorable mention. I'm sure there'll be some opinions out there, so let me know who you think should've gotten the boot."

"The Packers and the Pats moved down this week after tough losses to great football teams. I'm excited to see how they bounce back as they both face brutal road tests in Chicago and Baltimore, [respectively]."

"The Seahawks, they stay in the top five with another win and another stellar defensive performance. Field goals won't cut it in January, though. So, let's see if the offense can get back on track
