NFL Power Rankings: Ranking teams with best point differential after Week 11
Some teams on this list may shock you, as eight clubs in the NFL have point differentials of at least +50. Let's power-rank them here. At the end of the day, a statistic like point differential may not mean a ton, as games are won week to week, not based on a team's total points scored.
However, point differential does have some value, and it's very typical that the best teams have the highest differentials and the worst teams have the lowest. There are some instances where winning teams can have negative point differentials, though.
For example, the 2022 Minnesota Vikings went 13-4 in the regular season and actually got out-scored by three points. They scored 424 points and gave up 427. And even in 2024, there are some teams with higher point differentials than others, but those teams also have a worse record, so this can be all over the place.
Let's power-rank teams in the NFL through Week 11 by point differential.
NFL Power Rankings: Ranking teams with best point differential after Week 11
8. Baltimore Ravens, +63
The Baltimore Ravens have the eighth-highest point differential in the NFL this season at +63, and after starting the season out 0-2, they have since gone 7-2. Their latest game, though, was a pretty ugly loss in Pittsburgh against the Steelers, and the Ravens have a tendency to play poorly against Pittsburgh.
That would be a huge issue if the Ravens had to travel to Pittsburgh in the postseason. Lamar Jackson just did not look like himself at all, but overall, Baltimore is fine. They are able to explode on offense at any time, as they have Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry back there. Those two have turned into the best duo in the entire NFL, and Jackson could be well on his way to his third NFL MVP award.
However, like in previous seasons, the Ravens could be on pace to yet again disappoint in the postseason. They aren't as good as they were last year and may not have a single home game when the playoffs roll around. They do, though, have the eighth-highest point differential in the NFL.
