It's quite insane how much 'good' there is in the NFL this year, as there isn't a lot of great, and the NFL is truly wide open right now. As we approach the halfway point of the 2025 season, things should begin to get clearer, but it's murky right now.
Eleven teams in the NFL right now have four wins through six weeks - that comes out to a massive 34.4% of teams in the league. There are just two teams with five wins and zero teams with six wins, so with no more unbeaten teams left and a massive middle class, there will be some teams with winning records that don't make the playoffs this year.
We decided to power rank the 11 four-win teams approaching Week 7. We took a look at their most recent performance for the rankings but also have to mostly consider the total body of work thus far, as one game doesn't necessarily tell us the entire story of a team. Let's get into it.
Power ranking all 11 four-win teams through six weeks in the 2025 season.
11. San Francisco 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers do not feel like a four-win team at all. Their recent loss in Week 6 also saw them lose Fred Warner for the rest of the 2025 season with a dislocated ankle, and he joins a laundry list of other starters who have missed time and who will continue to miss time.
It's a season to forget for the Niners despite their strong start. If nothing else, they have an easy remaining schedule, so they should be able to scrape together nine or 10 wins and contend for a Wild Card spot.
10. Jacksonville Jaguars
The main issue with Jaguars is that we simply do not know how high this team's ceiling is. The roster is not overly talented, and with Liam Coen being in his first year as the head coach, the Jags might not hit their true potential for another year or so.
However, them being 4-2 through six games is a stellar coaching job from Coen, so they are a playoff team and should end up getting in when the regular season ends.
9. Los Angeles Chargers
The Los Angeles Chargers have dealt with a ton of injuries and barely got by the lowly Miami Dolphins in Week 6. After a strong 3-0 start, the Chargers haven't looked that special in recent weeks, and this team's below-average depth is being tested big-time. This is still, yet again, nothing more than a good team.
8. Philadelphia Eagles
Two-straight losses has us seeing the true issues with the Philadelphia Eagles, and the two primary people responsible are Kevin Patullo, the offensive coordinator, and starting QB Jalen Hurts, who has noticeable limitations as a passer and is simply not the type of QB who can carry the offense on his back when needed.
Previous offensive coordinators for the Eagles have been able to mask Hurts' limitations, but Patullo is clearly struggling with that. Philly's defense is also just average at this point, and the pass rush has been non-existent this year as well. At this point, I'd be shocked if they won the NFC East in 2025.
7. Pittsburgh Steelers
Another team in this power rankings exercise with a lower ceiling is the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now 4-1 on the season, the rest of the AFC North is in horrific dysfunction, so as long as the Steelers stay healthy and don't mess this up, they should be able to finish with 12 or even 13 wins and capture the division title. The team isn't going to go very far with Aaron Rodgers at QB, but the entire operation in Pittsburgh is again rock-solid.
6. Buffalo Bills
It might be time to have a conversation about the Buffalo Bills, as they have only beaten up on bad teams this year and have now lost two games in a row to the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons. Josh Allen has been fine this year, but the defense has largely been bad, so Buffalo just does not have that juggernaut feeling to them right now.
5. Denver Broncos
Sporting the best defense in the NFL, the Denver Broncos are no. 5 in our power rankings, but this team's issue is the inconsistent offense, and it's really the only thing holding this team back from emerging as a contender. Denver has won three games in a row, though.
4. New England Patriots
How about the New England Patriots? I still believe this team is a year behind truly becoming a contender, but they are now first in the AFC East at 4-2 and currently have the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Buffalo Bills.
Frankly, New England is indeed the best team in the division - it's the most complete roster, and I'd even go as far as to say that the QB performance has been better in New England this year, and that Mike Vrabel is a better head coach than Sean McDermott.
It's flat-out insane how much the Patriots aced this past offseason from the Vrabel hire, offensive line investments, and him bringing Josh McDaniels back to coordinate this offense. This franchise is in a great spot.
3. Los Angeles Rams
The Los Angeles Rams are one of the most battle-tested teams in the NFL and are going to win a ton of games this year. Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay are still at the top of their respective games, and I see no reason to believe why the Rams can't make a Super Bowl run this year.
From top to bottom, this team is well-built and well-coached. LA is third in our power rankings and could have another couple of years of great play left from their veteran QB.
2. Seattle Seahawks
I will admit that I've been wrong about the Seattle Seahawks this year. Sam Darnold is playing out of his mind, and the defense is always going to be in a good spot with Mike Macdonald running the show. Seattle beat the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6 in a very quality win. Now at 4-2, Seattle is in a three-way record tie with the Rams and 49ers for first place in the NFC West.
This division could truly come down to the final week of the season. Seattle feels like the most complete team at the moment, though.
1. Detroit Lions
I still believe that the Detroit Lions are one of the best teams in the NFL despite their primetime loss against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6. Jared Goff has arguably been the best quarterback in the NFL this year, and the Lions can simply out-talent many of their opponents.
It's close, but Detroit is no. 1 in our power rankings.
