There are definitely some top-notch QB/HC duos in the NFL as we approach the 2025 NFL Season. Let's power rank the best ones here.
Without a top-notch head coach and quarterback, no team in the NFL will sustain success for the long-term. It's obvious what positions NFL front offices have to prioritize, but most end up failing, as it's just insanely hard to find a competent head coach and a franchise quarterback.
But fortunately for these teams, they have some great QB/HC duos. Let's power rank the best in the entire league for the 2025 NFL Season.
NFL Power Rankings: Ranking the top QB/HC duos for the 2025 season
5. Jalen Hurts-Nick Sirianni, Philadelphia Eagles
I am lower on Jalen Hurts than most, but this duo has won a ton of games together and did just beat the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, so they absolutely deserve a ton of credit for what they have done for the Eagles franchise over the past few season.
They've actually made two Super Bowls in three seasons, which is insane. Philly does continually feature some of the top rosters in the NFL, but Hurts and Nick Sirianni have established themselves as a formidable duo in the NFL for the 2025 season.
4. Lamar Jackson-John Harbaugh, Baltimore Ravens
Lamar Jackson and John Harbaugh have been atop the AFC for a while now, but the playoff success just has not been there. Regardless, Jackson has won multiple MVPs and has become the best dual-threat QB in NFL history. John Harbaugh has also be a top head coach for a while now and did win a Super Bowl in the 2012 NFL Season.
Jackson, Harbaugh, and the Baltimore Ravens are surely not super concerned about the regular season given how easy it appears to be for them. Can they lead Baltimore on a playoff run in 2025? Will we see this team in the Super Bowl in the 2025 NFL Season?
It's got to just be a matter of time, right?
3. Josh Allen-Sean McDermott, Buffalo Bills
A duo that has become a regular in the AFC playoffs, Josh Allen and Sean McDermott have made two AFC Championship Games together, but they have lost to the Kansas City Chiefs both times, and you can probably guess which duo is the top on this list...
Allen and the Bills have truly taken ownership of the AFC East and don't seem to be letting go anytime soon. Buffalo will need to eventually figure out a way to get over the hump and slay the dragon, but Allen and McDermott headline this Bills team and have restored this franchise for the long-term. It's a good time to be a Bills fan, but they've got to capture a Super Bowl, or it'll truly all be a failure.
2. Matthew Stafford-Sean McVay, Los Angeles Rams
Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay won the Super Bowl together in the 2021 NFL Season, which was their first year together. Stafford and McVay may not have more than another year or two together, but they've still got some magic left. The Los Angeles Rams finished 10-7 in the 2024 regular season after starting out 1-4 due to some insane injuries.
The Rams are going to be atop the NFC West yet again in the 2025 NFL Season as long as their QB and head coach are doing what they have done for years now. Both Stafford and McVay could end up in the Hall of Fame one day.
1. Patrick Mahomes-Andy Reid, Kansas City Chiefs
A slam-dunk Hall of Fame duo and one of the best QB/HC duos of all-time already, Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid are just flat-out excellent. They've won three Super Bowls together since the 2019 NFL Season and have at least made it to the AFC Championship Game in each year of the Mahomes era. The offense has been a bit dink-and-dunk over the past couple of seasons, but the Chiefs continue to win, and win, and win.
They are the clear-cut best QB/HC duo in the NFL for the 2025 season until further notice.
