The Top Dog Has Been Dethroned: Meet the New Ruler of the NFL

As we enter the final stretch of the 2025 NFL season, teams are jockeying for position and trying to make a deep playoff run.

PFT's Week 16 NFL power rankings saw a significant shake-up, as the previous frontrunner fell to the wayside and a new team took the top spot.

This week's number one team, the 'new sheriff in town', has been steadily climbing the rankings over the past few weeks, and with their most recent victory, they solidified their position as the team to beat in the league.

But what sets this team apart from the rest? It's not just their impressive win-loss record or dominating performances on the field – it's the intangibles that separate them from the competition.

From their stingy defense to their explosive offense, this team has all the makings of a true contender.

And with several key players stepping up and making clutch plays in crucial situations, this team is primed to make a run at the Super Bowl.

Other teams, like the previously-number-one squad, are still in the running, but they'll have to overcome a few hurdles if they want to get back on top.

The pressure is on, and fans are eagerly anticipating the rest of the season to see if their favorite team will come out on top.

Momentum is a fickle thing, but this new number one team is riding high – and the competition is taking notice.

Will they be able to hold onto the top spot, or will someone make a late-season push to dethrone the new champ?

Only time will tell.
