Week 11 NFL Power Rankings: Chiefs Cling To Top Spot

The Kansas City Chiefs remain at the top of Lineups’ Week 11 NFL power rankings by the tips of their fingers, but those behind them in the top five would love to take it from them. All eyes go to the fifth-ranked San Francisco 49ers as they add a future Hall of Famer to the backfield following a lengthy stay on injured reserve.

Use any of your favorite sportsbook apps to bet on Week 11 games.

1. Kansas City Chiefs 

With the 1972 Miami Dolphins lining up their champagne bottles to celebrate Kansas City’s first loss, the Chiefs somehow pulled victory from the jaws of defeat by blocking a last-second field goal. 

2. Baltimore Ravens

Down 21-7 midway through the third quarter, the Ravens flipped the script on the Bengals with a key fumble, followed by four scoring drives from their unstoppable reigning MVP. 

3. Buffalo Bills

Josh Allen might be worth more to the point spread than any player in football, and his Bills have opened as slight favorites ahead of a Week 11 showdown against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. 

4. Detroit Lions

While Jared Goff’s MVP campaign might be over after his five-interception performance in Houston, Detroit proved to be a complete team by pitching a second-half shutout in an unlikely comeback road win. 

5. San Francisco 49ers 

Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) produced 68 receiving yards and 39 rushing yards in his season debut, and Jake Moody hit the field goal that mattered most after missing three previous tries at Tampa Bay. 

6. Philadelphia Eagles 

The Eagles are mostly healthy and have been rolling through some easy matchups. After hosting the Commanders Thursday, they have tough road tilts at the Rams and Ravens. 

7. Houston Texans

Houston’s coaching staff crafted a masterful game plan and nearly beat the Lions without Nico Collins (hamstring) and Will Anderson Jr. (ankle). This team will be very dangerous at full strength.

8. Green Bay Packers

The Packers need Jordan Love to come out of their bye healthy after multiple injuries affected his performance during the first half of the season. 

9. Minnesota Vikings 

Sam Darnold has been a truly rough watch over his last two starts with five interceptions, yet the Vikings’ defense has carried them to consecutive wins against AFC South teams. 

10. Pittsburgh Steelers

New acquisition Mike Williams came up huge with the go-ahead touchdown, and the Steelers may need to rely on trade acquisition Preston Smith more in the coming weeks with Alex Highsmith (ankle) injured.  

11. Washington Commanders 

Oddsmakers have installed the Commanders as three-point underdogs ahead of Thursday’s showdown at Philadelphia for NFC East supremacy, indicating the market believes Washington is on par with an established contender.  

12. Arizona Cardinals 

Kyler Murray completed a franchise-record 17 straight passes in a massacre of the Jets and has been locked in during a four-game winning streak, yet the biggest surprise has been Arizona’s stout defense under coordinator Nick Rallis. 

13. Los Angeles Chargers 

Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers have been extremely disciplined, with the fourth-lowest penalty rate and fourth-best turnover margin (+1.1) in the NFL. 

14. Los Angeles Rams 

If Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp can stay on the field, the Rams’ offense can match points with anyone, and Jared Verse is becoming a star in their young defense. 

15. Cincinnati Bengals

Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase have combined for 457 yards and five touchdowns in two shootout losses to the Ravens. The Bengals are still very much in the playoff hunt. 

16. Seattle Seahawks 

The Seahawks dropped consecutive games before their bye without DK Metcalf (knee) and fell to last place in the NFC West. 

 17. Denver Broncos 

Bo Nix was rock solid in his first trip to Arrowhead, and Denver’s defense held the two-time defending Super Bowl champs in check, so there are several reasons for optimism. 

18. Atlanta Falcons 

Atlanta’s ineffective pass rush has allowed opposing offenses to complete a league-high 70.85% of their passes with the fourth-highest third-down conversion rate (46.15%). 

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 

Baker Mayfield and the Bucs’ coaching staff have done everything possible to keep Tampa Bay afloat while dealing with a barrage of key injuries. 

20. New York Jets 

The Jets are falling well short of expectations on the defensive side of the ball, and Aaron Rodgers is struggling in his age-40 season. 

21. Miami Dolphins

Tyreek Hill missed significant practice with a wrist injury heading into Monday night’s victory over the Rams. Now, a back injury he sustained in the win could keep him out of Monday’s practice.

22. Indianapolis Colts 

Shane Steichen said his staff are sticking with Joe Flacco over Anthony Richardson for now, despite a second straight rough outing from the veteran. 

23. Cleveland Browns

Jameis Winston leads the Browns to familiar New Orleans as he looks to get on track following a terrible showing against the Chargers and a Week 10 bye. 

24. Tennessee Titans 

Will Levis injected some life into Tennessee’s dormant offense in his first turnover-free game of the season. Now he’ll prepare for Minnesota’s ball-hawking defense. 

25. Jacksonville Jaguars 

The Jaguars stayed close against the Vikings with three interceptions, yet the box score tells a different story, with Minnesota racking up 28 first downs and enjoying 42:19 of possession. 

26. Dallas Cowboys

With Dak Prescott (hamstring) done for the season, the Cowboys are a sinking ship. Cooper Rush and Trey Lance were both highly ineffective in Week 10. 

27. New Orleans Saints 

Interim coach Darren Rizzi brought lots of fire to the Saints sideline, and his players responded with a gutty 20-17 win to snap their seven-game skid. 

28. Chicago Bears

The Bears have officially quit on Matt Eberflus, and it would almost be shocking if he is not fired this week. 

29. Las Vegas Raiders 

Vegas made moves during their bye week by firing Luke Getsy and promoting Scott Turner to interim offensive coordinator. 

30. New England Patriots 

Drake Maye played well enough as the Patriots’ defense stymied Caleb Williams in a stunningly dominant road win. 

31. Carolina Panthers

Given a second crack to start after learning from Andy Dalton, Bryce Young has been serviceable enough to steer the Panthers during a 2-1 stretch. 

2. New York Giants 

The Giants shuffled their offensive line by starting Evan Neal at right tackle, but their offense remained anemic in Germany against Carolina’s league-worst defense.
