It’s Week 11 in the NFL, which means the pretenders are falling off faster than Halloween candy in mid-November, and the contenders are starting to flex, in earnest. Some teams are finding rhythm, others are fumbling, literally and figuratively, and everyone’s jockeying for playoff relevance.

This week, the power balance leans toward the NFC, where two teams are genuinely taking flight, while the AFC’s usual suspects are scrambling to remind us that yes, they still matter. So grab your latte, pull up your fantasy app, and let’s talk real power. Here are Alternative Fix’s official NFL Week 11 power rankings.

Alternative Fix’s NFL Week 11 Power Rankings

1. Seattle Seahawks (7-2)

Yes, the Seahawks sit proudly at No. 1, and they’ve earned it. With a 7-2 record, they’ve shown consistency, toughness, and evolution. The defense is fierce, the offense balanced, and they’re making the quarterback decisions count. Seattle has become that team: efficient, confident, and annoyingly hard to beat. The mark of a contender is not just winning games, it’s how you win them, and the Seahawks are starting to win the right way.

2. Los Angeles Rams (7-2)

Right behind them, the Los Angeles Rams. At 7-2, this team looks like a veteran squad that’s still young at heart. The offense is clicking, the defense is quietly solid, and they’ve lost just two games by narrow margins. In many ways, the Rams feel like a “now” team, and they’re ready. They’re not just good, they’re poised, and their momentum is real.

3. New England Patriots (8-2)

At 8-2, the New England Patriots are back in the upper tier. They’ve stitched together wins, they’ve shown flashes of big-play ability, and they’re making the skeptics rethink their timeline. The coaching staff has their team believing, and that’s half the battle. They’re No. 3 because the record says so, and the body of work backs it up.

4. Philadelphia Eagles (7-2)

The Philadelphia Eagles bring swagger. A 7-2 record, a dynamic quarterback, playmakers who make things happen, and a defense that grinds. They beat you in multiple ways. Their only reason for not sitting in the top three, they’re still proving they can dominate consistently and separate themselves from the pack. But oh, they’re doing all the right things.

5. Detroit Lions (6-3)

In Detroit, the Lions are humming. At 6-3, they’re still young, loud, and learning how to win, and often doing it in style. The offense is finding its groove, the defense is making plays, and the team is showing up. They’re not just trending upward, they’re rising. No. 5 is fair: they’ve got serious talent, and now it’s time to translate it into legacy.

6. Indianapolis Colts (8-2)

An 8-2 record and quietly dangerous. The Colts have found rhythm and discipline. Their offense is clicking, their defense isn’t getting run over, and they’re not making sloppy mistakes. They may not have the flash of some top-five clubs, but they win. In November, that counts for a lot.

7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-3)

The Buccaneers are fun again. At 6-3, they’re dangerous, especially late in games. They’ve found identity, they’ve got veteran leadership, and their mix of offense and defense is coming into form. They may not yet be “elite,” but they’re in the conversation, and the way they’re closing games is impressing everyone.

8. Denver Broncos (8-2)

The Broncos are quietly one of the AFC’s most complete teams. Their 8-2 record isn’t a fluke. The coaching staff has engineered balance, the defense is making plays, and the offense is efficient. They may not be the flashiest squad, but they’re dangerous, and at No. 8, they’re ready to pounce.

9. Kansas City Chiefs (5-4)

Yes, the Chiefs have just a 5-4 record, and that places them at No. 9. But make no mistake, they’re still dangerous. Veteran leadership, playoff pedigree, and a roster with talent. They just haven’t quite put it all together this year. The potential remains, but the urgency is growing.

10. Buffalo Bills (6-3)

The Bills are like your favorite roller coaster, thrilling, unpredictable, and occasionally terrifying. At 6-3, they can beat anyone on their day, but they can also beat themselves. The talent is undeniable. The question, can they steady the ship and make a consistent run? At No. 10, that’s exactly the story.

11-32: The Rest of the Field

Now, the quick hits on the remaining 22 teams, because yes, we’re covering them all.

13. San Francisco 49ers – Talent galore, injury depth still a concern.

The Calm Before the Chaos

As Week 11 rolls into the heart of November, the standings are tighter than a goal-line sneak. The Seahawks and Rams are carrying the NFC banner with purpose and pride, while the AFC’s usual titans are scrambling to re-establish hierarchy.

The storylines are swirling, rookies making waves, dynasties wobbling, sleepers emerging, and if this season has taught us anything so far, it’s that no one is safe, not even the teams flying high.

So buckle up. November football is here, and it’s about to get gloriously messy.
