Tom Brady Reveals His Final NFL Power Rankings in Video Ahead of 2026 Playoffs

Ahead of the start of the playoffs this weekend, NFL legend Tom Brady gave his final power rankings.

Brady said "there's no choice" but the Seattle Seahawks as his No. 1 team. That pick doesn't come as much of a surprise considering the Seahawks finished the year 14-3, one of their best seasons in franchise history, on their way to the top seed in the NFC.

At No. 2, he had the Denver Broncos, who won the AFC West for the first time since 2015. Second-year quarterback Bo Nix led the Broncos to a 14-3 record, and it's hard to imagine anyone taking down Denver in the playoffs.

One team did give the Broncos a run for their money for the top seed in the AFC. Brady put his former team, the New England Patriots, in the No. 3 slot after their 14-3 record fueled by an MVP-caliber campaign from Drake Maye.

From there, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Los Angeles Chargers rounded out the top five. While those two squads may have been a tier below the top three this year, they're still worthy candidates to compete in the postseason.
