NFL Week 10 Power Rankings: Quinnen to Cowboys, Sauce to Colts, Bills on Top
The NFL trade deadline has come and gone, and the league looks completely different. MTP Power Rankings hosts Dave Clarke and Bob Kelly are here to break down every blockbuster trade, every questionable move, and every new contender as we head into Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season.
The Jets blew it up in dramatic fashion — Sauce Gardner traded to the Colts, Quinnen Williams shipped to the Cowboys, and Breece Hall rumored to be the next big name on the move. Dave calls it the biggest in-season rebuild in years, while Bobby questions whether either trade actually moves the needle. Did the Colts overpay for star power? Can Quinnen Williams fix a Cowboys defense that just got embarrassed by the Cardinals?
The guys also break down the rest of the trade deadline deals: Rashid Shaheed heads to the Seahawks to give Sam Darnold more speed on offense to pair with Cooper Kupp and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jakobi Meyers heads to Jacksonville, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling brings veteran experience to the Steelers offense. Dave argues that Pittsburgh made one of the smartest under-the-radar moves of the deadline, while Bobby calls it “too little, too late.”
Then, it’s on to the rankings — and there’s a major shakeup at the top.
The Buffalo Bills reclaim the #1 spot after a statement win over the Kansas City Chiefs, dominating on both sides of the ball. The Buccaneers and Eagles stay steady at two and three, while the Patriots continue to climb behind Drake Maye’s control and maturity under Mike Vrabel’s leadership. The Rams, Colts, and Lions round out a competitive top tier, while teams like the Broncos and Seahawks are quietly building resumes that can’t be ignored.
The Bears are another story — shocking the Bengals in what Dave calls “the craziest game of the season.” They praise Caleb Williams for his ability to deliver under pressure and highlight DJ Moore’s near-touchdown that flipped the game. But Bobby doesn’t let the special teams off the hook, calling their kickoff coverage “unacceptable.” Both agree Chicago’s arrow is pointing up, but they still need cleaner execution to stay in playoff contention.
Other topics include the Packers’ embarrassing loss to the Panthers, Steelers’ defensive turnaround, and Bo Nix’s underrated run in Denver. The guys agree this season feels more unpredictable than ever, with few dominant teams and plenty of parity across the league. Dave also takes aim at the officiating inconsistencies and revisits the debate over the “tush push” — calling for a rule change after too many controversial calls.
By the end of the episode, every team gets its place: contenders, pretenders, and those officially crossed off for the season.
