NFL Power Rankings Post-Super Bowl Edition: Seattle Seahawks are the kings of the hill

The 2025-26 NFL season has come to a close with an exciting Super Bowl LX as the Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots 29-13 on Sunday evening to win their second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.

With the season now over, let's take a look at DAZN News' final set of power rankings. 

1. Seattle Seahawks (16-3, ▬ ): The vaunting Seattle defense, along with the electrifying speed of Kenneth Walker III, led the Seahawks to a win for the ages. 

2. New England Patriots (17-3, ▬ ): Some work to be done in New England, especially on the offensive line. But they have nothing to be ashamed of. Drake Maye and co. will be back. 

3. Denver Broncos (15-4 ▬ ): Missing Bo Nix proved to be crucial, as Jarrett Stidham made some really poor choices.

4. Los Angeles Rams (14-6, ▬ ): They braved the bitter Chicago elements and Caleb Williams to be one win away from a return trip to the Super Bowl.

5: Buffalo Bills (13-6, ▬ ): A bitter and controversial loss in Denver that ultimately, and unfortunately, cost Sean McDermott his job.

6. Chicago Bears (12-7, ▬ ): The defense played its best game of the season, and Caleb Williams threw another miracle touchdown. But the clock struck midnight. Ben Johnson's team has nothing to be ashamed of. They will be back.

7. Houston Texans (13-6, ▬ ): Hard to win a game when the offense commits five turnovers. What does the future hold for C.J. Stroud?

8. San Francisco 49ers (13-6, ▬ ): Injuries finally caught up to the Niners. Just like the Bears, they will be back and ready for next season.

9. Jacksonville Jaguars (13-5, ▬ ): Went out fighting and came up just short. Nothing for the Jaguars to hang their heads about. They will be back.

10. Carolina Panthers (8-10, ▬ ): An unlikely postseason team that was one drive away from advancing to this weekend's set of games. Nothing to be disappointed about. 

11. Philadelphia Eagles (11-7, ▬ ): Inconsistency cost them a run at back-to-back Lombardi Trophies.

12. Los Angeles Chargers (11-6, ▬ ): A big 'what if' for the Chargers if the offensive line had been healthy.

13. Minnesota Vikings (9-8, ▬ ): Do they really need JJ McCarthy?

14. Detroit Lions (9-8, ▬ ): Wonder how much Dan Campbell misses Ben Johnson.

15.​ Green Bay Packers (9-8-1, ▬ ): Matt LaFluer looks like he will be in Green Bay for the long haul as he's signed a multi-year contract extension.

16. Pittsburgh Steelers (10-8, ▬ ): A shocker in Mike Tomlin stepping down. Is Aaron Rodgers next?

The Ring

17. Atlanta Falcons (8-9, ▬ ): Welcome to Atlanta, Kevin Stefanski.

18. Baltimore Ravens (8-9, ▬ ): Horrific loss to end a shaky season. Goodbye, Harbaugh.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-9, ▬ ): What could have been after such a hot start to the season. 

20. New Orleans Saints (6-11, ▬ ): A better-than-expected season, and they found themselves a quarterback in Tyler Shough.

21. Dallas Cowboys (7-9-1, ▬ ): Another mediocre season. Potent on offense but dreadful on defense.

22. Miami Dolphins (7-10 ▬ ): A new head coach, a new GM, and a new QB are in the works.

23. Indianapolis Colts (8-9, ▬ ): Maybe, just maybe, Riley Leonard is the long-term answer at quarterback.

24. Cincinnati Bengals (6-11, ▬ ): Let's hope Joe Burrow can keep that smile during the offseason.

25. Cleveland Browns (5-12, ▬ ): Hard to see why they fired Kevin Stefanski.

26. Kansas City Chiefs (6-11, ▬ ): Will Travis Kelce retire? Maybe, maybe not.

27. Tennessee Titans (3-14, ▬ ): Constant improvement from Cam Ward in his rookie campaign. 

28. New York Giants (4-13, ▬ ): The Giants got their guy in John Harbaugh.

29. Washington Commanders (4-13, ▬): Surprised Dan Quinn didn't get the boot.

30. Arizona Cardinals (3-14, ▬): Now, that the Jonathan Gannon era is over, what will the team do about Kyler Murray? 

31. New York Jets (3-14, ▬ ): Is there a harder team to watch in the NFL?

32. Las Vegas Raiders (2-15, ▬ ): Who will they draft with the first pick of the 2026 NFL Draft?
