Week 9 result: Lost to the New York Giants 27-22
Answer from Brady: “I’m coming in at No. 5 this week and I’m starting to show up in my power rankings, the Washington Commanders. Led by rookie QB Jayden Daniels – he doesn’t look like a rookie to me – Washington has won three in a row and seven of the last eight. That’s crazy.
“Hats off to Coach [Dan] Quinn. He did a great job this year as a head coach. The team, has won more this year than last year, and that is the best start in almost 30 years. They will try to remain undefeated at home this season when the Steelers travel to DC this week. “

Week 9 result: Defeated by the Denver Broncos 41-10
Answer from Brady: “It’s hard to believe they’re No. 4 and up. There are some good teams up there. They got beat by the Browns, but they bounced back and got a big win in Denver. Lamar was a no-brainer, a perfect QB against a top-three defense.
“Derrick Henry – he’s unstoppable again. He’s over 1,000 yards on the season. The Ravens also have the league’s No. 1 quarterback. Man, that’s a tough football team. But they got a big test Thursday against them. [Joe] Burrow and the Bengals.”

He’s completing an NFL record 83% of his last passes. six weeks David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs – they killed it on the ground for 138 yards together. And I have to show a lot of love to Aaron Glenn. That Lions D is allowing 19 points per game since losing to Aidan Hutchinson.
“Detroit looks to win its seventh game in a row this week against CJ Stroud and the Texans in Houston. Great matchup.”

Week 9 result: Lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30-24 (OT)
Answer from Brady: “If you’re undefeated, you better believe you’re going to stay at the top of my power rankings. No. 1, the Kansas City Chiefs. They continue to find ways to win close games. They’ve earned this championship. It’s their DNA. Patrick Mahomes had three touchdowns, no turnovers, and they had an extra.” freshman DeAndre Hopkins already looks like a great fit in this case.
“If we look back at last year, that’s 14 consecutive wins for the Chiefs. Sean Payton, you have a challenge on Sunday if it’s the Broncos-Chiefs. Let’s see if the Chiefs can stay undefeated.
