Updated NFL Power Rankings: New 1-32 poll, plus Thanksgiving game memories
As we approach Week 13 of the NFL season, it’s time to reassess team standings in our updated Power Rankings. This year has been filled with surprises, and as the playoffs loom, teams are vying for their best positions. The rankings reflect not only each team’s current performance but also their potential for postseason success. For instance, the Kansas City Chiefs continue to dominate the rankings, showcasing their explosive offense led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles have proven their resilience, maintaining a strong position despite facing tough competition in the NFC.
In addition to the Power Rankings, we take a nostalgic look back at Thanksgiving memories for the 31 teams that have participated in the holiday games, with the exception of the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have yet to play on this festive day. Thanksgiving has a rich history in the NFL, with iconic moments that fans cherish. For example, the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions have become synonymous with Thanksgiving Day football, hosting games that have featured unforgettable performances. The Cowboys’ 1998 game against the Minnesota Vikings is particularly memorable, where they overcame a 20-point deficit to win, showcasing the spirit of resilience that defines the league. These historical snapshots not only celebrate the teams but also highlight the cultural significance of football during one of America’s most beloved holidays.
As we dive deeper into Week 13, the excitement builds as teams prepare for critical matchups that could determine their playoff fates. The rankings serve as a reminder of the fierce competition and the stories that unfold each season, while the Thanksgiving memories evoke a sense of tradition and camaraderie that unites fans across the country. With each game, the narrative of the season continues to evolve, making every moment on the field a potential turning point in the race for the Super Bowl.
Let’s update our NFL Power Rankings ahead of Week 13. We also picked out Thanksgiving memories for 31 teams that have played on the holiday (sorry, Jaguars).
