The NFC has effectively flipped every offseason narrative on its head so far this season, looking like the far superior overall conference so far compared to the AFC. The reigning NFC and Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles are back on top of the conference, but a number of teams are right on their heels.
There are even a handful of teams within the NFC that have more losses at this point than expected, and they are arguably better than even the best teams in the AFC at this point.
In our latest NFL Power Rankings ahead of Week 11, we're going to be taking a look at the entire NFC and how each team stacks up right now after a wild 10 weeks of the NFL season. These rankings will obviously be based on what each team has done up to this point, but with a heavier emphasis on how each team has played in the past couple of weeks.
NFL Power Rankings, Week 11: Seahawks rise to top of NFC rankings
16. New York Giants
After surprisingly firing head coach Brian Daboll, the New York Giants take over the last spot on our weekly NFC Power Rankings. Obviously, the organization had reasons to move on from Daboll before Sunday's events, but the loss to the Bears in combination with the latest concussion for quarterback Jaxson Dart really pushed the organization's brass over the edge.
With Daboll gone and the best young core pieces of this team dealing with injuries, this is about as "down bad" as the Giants could possibly be. But the night is always darkest before the dawn. Or something.
15. New Orleans Saints
The New Orleans Saints have been at the bottom of these rankings for the majority of the 2025 season, but after a win with young quarterback Tyler Shough under center, they get a one spot bump for at least a week. The Saints are trying to figure out if their franchise QB of the future is on the roster already, or if they're going to need to move on and get someone with their top pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
As of right now, the Saints just gave up the #1 pick in next year's draft to the Tennessee Titans, who would be a huge threat to trade that pick to another team for the right to draft -- at this point -- Fernando Mendoza out of Indiana.
