Not only were there 12 teams that won at least 10 games during the 2025 NFL Season, but there were three other teams that finished with nine wins. It's not going to be a major shock if we see another team or two reach that 10-win mark in 2026.
The league has truly never been more competitive than it is right now, so what you think may happen could end up being flat-out wrong. As OTAs begin across the league, the best teams in the NFL are obviously hoping to take that next step and win the Super Bowl.
And there were a lot of great teams last year, as nearly half the league won at least 10 games. Let's power-rank the teams that finished with double-digit wins.
Ranking every double-digit win team as the 2026 NFL Offseason continues
12. Pittsburgh Steelers
With an average roster and a quarterback in Aaron Rodgers who may have been the 18th-best player at his position in 2025, the Pittsburgh Steelers really don't do anything all that well and are staring down another 9 or 10-win season. Nothing about this team screams contender, and it feels like it'll again be the status quo.
11. Philadelphia Eagles
With limitations at quarterback and constant turnover at the offensive coordinator spot, the Philadelphia Eagles cannot continue down this road on offense. Sure, the defense is elite thanks to Vic Fangio, but one side of the ball can't behave in this 'up and down' nature. Philly is at No. 11.
10. Los Angeles Chargers
The Los Angeles Chargers, as I have maintained for a while now, are one of the more 'good not great' teams in the league, and in an offseason where many were expecting significant change along the offensive line, it did not come.
Once again, the Chargers feel like a safe bet for another 11-ish wins, but nothing about this operation would indicate the team can go on a deep playoff run. Los Angeles settles in at No. 10 in our latest NFL power rankings as the offseason rolls on.
9. San Francisco 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers again dealt with a ton of injuries, but in 2025, they were somehow able to scrape together 12 wins and were quite close to the NFC West title, which is absolutely notable. However, this team has never stayed consistently healthy, and it's really been the main undoing of the Kyle Shanahan era.
Sure, this team has made two Super Bowls since 2019, but consistent injuries and largely awful drafting have limited the team overall. San Francisco is still as well-coached as any team in professional sports, to be honest, but a lot of how they build this roster is of the 'patchwork' variety.
San Francisco is just inside the top-10 in our power rankings.
8. Chicago Bears
Undergoing some notable defensive change this offseason, including a ton of new faces in the secondary, the Chicago Bears are in a great spot to breakout even further in 2026, but it's important to note what what 11-win, 2025 season was all about.
On a down-to-down basis, the defense was simply not that good. The Bears forced a ton of turnovers, which saved that unit in the end, but it wasn't consistently solid enough to become a contender.
General Manager Ryan Poles did bring in a ton of new faces on this side of the ball, so there is reason to believe that the change could lead to the unit at least being average. That, coupled with an offense in great hands with Ben Johnson, could yield legitimate contender status in 2026.
7. Jacksonville Jaguars
Losing Travis Etienne and Devin Lloyd in free agency is going to hurt, and this roster wasn't anything that special to begin with. A slight regression could be on the table for the Jacksonville Jaguars - a 10-7 season with a Wild Card berth could be on the table.
Sure, this team appears to have a stellar coaching staff, but the overall roster talent is the main issue here that could prevent this team from taking another step forward.
6. New England Patriots
On paper, the New England Patriots really aren't that threatening, but what we did see in the 2025 season was this entire franchise take a major step in the right direction. Sure, the schedule was insanely easy, but winning 14 games in this league is a massive challenge and a major accomplishment.
Suddenly sporting a superstar quarterback, the Patriots have now tasted what it's like to win at the highest level. Getting back to the Super Bowl may be a stretch, but the foundation is set, and there is always a chance that this potential AJ Brown trade goes through, which would put the finishing touches on the offense.
5. Houston Texans
You can argue that the Houston Texans have the best roster in the NFL, but quarterback CJ Stroud has largely been average over the past two seasons, which is a concern, and it's really the only concern with this team heading into 2026.
If Stroud can play as he did as a rookie, Houston may not lose more than a small handful of games, and even in 2025, this team, despite starting 0-3, managed to finish 12-5. This entire operation is going to come down to Stroud. if nothing else, Houston has still consistently won the past few seasons.
4. Buffalo Bills
The Buffalo Bills slide into No. 4 in our power rankings. One of the more consistently reliable teams in the NFL, Buffalo has not had an issue winning a ton of games and getting into the playoffs - that has honestly felt like the bare minimum with this team, but as we have seen, the Super Bowl continues to evade the franchise.
With a league MVP under center and the best run game in the league, Buffalo should again be able to win a ton of games, and given that the Patriots' schedule gets harder, the Bills could return to the top of the AFC East, a place they had been for years prior to 2025.
3. Los Angeles Rams
The Los Angeles Rams felt like the Super Bowl favorite all throughout the 2025 season, but some bad defensive performances down the stretch forced the Rams into a Wild Card spot, and the team just did not have enough to get past the Seattle Seahawks.
Now having shored up the secondary this offseason, Los Angeles could now be the best team in the league, but for the time being, they'll be slotted at the No. 3 spot. Matthew Stafford is getting up there in age, and the unfortunate situation with Puka Nacua's off-field issues could impact his availability this season.
2. Denver Broncos
The Denver Broncos might be the most talented team in the NFL. In the offseason, Denver swung a trade for Jaylen Waddle and 'officially' shored up the offense. The elite offensive line returns, and the pass-rush heavy defense is set to return their best players.
The Broncos could win it all this year, and they may have in 2025, but Bo Nix's broken ankle ended up making that nearly impossible. Denver doesn't have a major hole, and if all goes well, we could be looking at this team hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in 2026.
1. Seattle Seahawks
The defending Super Bowl champions come in at No. 1 in our power rankings. Having won 14 games this year, tied for the most with New England and Denver, Seattle may have been the most balanced team in the league, and there is no reason to believe why that can't again be the case in 2026.
The passing attack is elite, and the defense is explosive and deep. Seattle's quarterback, Sam Darnold, did struggle a bit with turnovers in 2025, but now that he's settling into his second year with the team, there is reason to believe those turnovers could decrease in 2026.
Until proven otherwise, Seattle is the best.
