Brady Ranks Bears' Offense, Says Chiefs Can't Be Counted Out

Tom Brady released his first NFL power rankings of the season on FOX Sports, opening the list to all 1-0 teams and topping it with the Seattle Seahawks, who beat the Super Bowl LX runner-up in a rematch of last season's title game. Brady said any team that wins the Super Bowl and then beats that same opponent again to open the following season deserves the No. 1 spot regardless of who is behind center.

The rankings, now in their third season, follow three self-imposed rules from Brady: only Week 1 winners qualify, the list reflects recent performance rather than potential, and complaints should be directed to FOX Sports' new digital show "Gronk & Jules." Brady placed the Chicago Bears second after Caleb Williams and coordinator Ben Johnson's offense scored 59 points against Carolina, with Brady floating early MVP buzz around Williams. The Kansas City Chiefs landed at No. 7, with Brady crediting running back Kenneth Walker III and noting Patrick Mahomes showed signs of returning to top form after missing offseason work. cdbl china basketball live

Elsewhere in the top 10, Brady highlighted the San Francisco 49ers' win over the Los Angeles Rams in Australia, pointing to newly acquired receiver Mike Evans' touchdown in his 49ers debut. He also praised the Baltimore Ravens under new defensive coordinator Jesse Minter following Lamar Jackson's performance in Indianapolis, the Philadelphia Eagles' division-opening win, the Buffalo Bills' road victory over Houston, and the Jacksonville Jaguars under coach Liam Coen, whom Brady singled out after Jacksonville's 13-win season a year ago.

Brady's commentary suggested the rankings will shift weekly based on results rather than preseason expectations, with teams like the Chiefs and Bears drawing early attention for different reasons - Kansas City for a potential rebound, Chicago for the pace of its offense under Williams and Johnson. The next round of rankings will follow Week 2 results across the league.
