Without Tom Brady, no week is complete! Yes, the NFL Week 17 is almost here! But before that, the NFL legend, like other weeks, decided to drop his mandatory thoughts as a FOX Sports lead NFL analyst.
The GOAT of the league Tom Brady brought his Week 16 power rankings for his fans. He revealed his top 5 NFL teams, besides giving a strong warning to the No. 1 playoff seed holder – Patrick Mahomes’s Kansas City Chiefs. So, which teams have made a place in Brady’s heart this time?
The official X account of NFL Fox Sports recently shared Tom Brady’s video, wherein he ranked the Chiefs at the No. 1 spot. He said, “The top spot in my power rankings — again — goes to the Kansas City Chiefs. It seems like every week they have different guys step up on offense, on defense….Let’s see if they can keep it rolling against a really tough Steelers defense on Christmas Day.” Now everything here seems to be going perfectly. But wait! He actually gave a warning to Patrick Mahomes’s team while naming the Detroit Lions in rank 2. How?

Well, it happened when Tom Brady stated, “The second spot in this week’s power rankings belongs to Dan Campbell’s Detroit Lions. They’ve won a franchise record 13 games this year and I know they’re not finished….They’re gonna look to [clinch] the No. 1 seed when they take on the 49ers in prime time this week.” Brady’s words clearly suggest that the Lions are poised to claim the No. 1 ranking. Hence overtaking the Chiefs after their game against the 49ers. That also indicates Brady’s prediction of another disappointing outing for San Francisco.
This means the Chiefs, currently holding the top spot, could see their position snatched away. If Brady’s prediction holds, it’s a bold warning to Patrick Mahomes and his 4-time Super Bowl-winning team as they prepare for their crucial playoff run in January 2025.
Besides these, Tom Brady also mentioned the Eagles at no. 5, after their 10-game winning streak came to an end against the Commanders. And at no. 4, Brady decided to name the Bills after they defeated the Patriots, 24-21. So, that means, he kept the no. 3 spot for the Vikings after their “impressive win” against Seahawks, 27-24.
Now as week 17 is coming up, all eyes will be on Tom Brady’s other top 5. But ahead of that, he would entertain his fans with his color commentary.
Tom Brady heads up for another week!
