Week 8 of the 2024 NFL season is fast approaching, and before the weekend’s thrilling lineup of games commence, Tom Brady, the lead NFL analyst at FOX Sports, has revealed his current power rankings. Anticipation is building as an electrifying face-off between the Buffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawks is set to take place. During week 7, the top five teams demonstrated their prowess on the field, showcasing a combination of strategic gameplay and individual talent, rendering their competition relatively powerless.
The Buffalo Bills, with a 5-2 standing last week, went unranked. However, their competitive edge shone through as they defeated the Tennessee Titans, scoring 34-10. Brady applauded their performance, especially quarterback Josh Allen’s progress and the fact that he hasn’t thrown an interception this season. Brady excitedly looks forward to observing the Bills’ revamped offense featuring Amari Cooper during their upcoming match against the Seahawks on Sunday.
The Ravens recorded their fifth straight victory in Week 7 after beginning this season 0-2, defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 41-31. Brady lauded their performance, particularly Lamar Jackson, and declared them the second-best team in the AFC, after Kansas City. He adds his excitement to see the Ravens strive to improve their divisional record when they play against the Browns, who will be without Deshaun Watson.
Despite their first loss of the year to the Detroit Lions, 31-29, the Minnesota Vikings are still considered one of the best teams in the NFC. Brady commended Sam Darnold’s exceptional performance and the robust defense of Kevin O’Connell’s Vikings. The loss only seems to contribute to the anticipation of their upcoming short-week game against the Rams in Los Angeles on Thursday night.
The Lions, with their resounding 41-31 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, secured an impressive road win against an unbeaten rival. Jared Goff performed exceptionally well, with 280 yards and two touchdowns under his belt. Brady commented on the Lions’ formidable offense that boasts an average score of 30 points per game, expressing his anticipation towards their upcoming match against the Titans.
Lastly, in Week 7, the Kansas City Chiefs secured a 28-18 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Brady lauded Patrick Mahomes’s feat of starting a season 6-0 for the first time in his career. Steve Spagnuolo’s defense was another highlight, intercepting Brock Purdy three times and limiting the Niners to 18 points. The Chiefs hope to continue their winning momentum in the upcoming match against the Raiders.
