Week 10 NFL Power Rankings: Bills keep top spot, Chiefs enter top 5

We're now officially past the midway mark of the NFL season for several teams, and with another week of action in the books, it's a bit clearer who the top teams in the league are – with most of our top 10 teams in our previous power rankings picking up wins.

But that also means there wasn't much movement at the top of the rankings; we avoided chaos. All four top teams from last week's rankings remained, though a new team entered the top five. Let's take a look at this week's NFL Power Rankings.

The Bills had what might be the biggest win of the week, knocking off another top-10 team, the Minnesota Vikings, and handing them their second consecutive loss after an undefeated start to the season. The Bills now lead the AFC East by three games, and as long as they keep winning, they could be playing for the top seed in the AFC.

The 49ers dominated the Raiders this past week and, like the Bills, hold a very comfortable multi-game lead in the NFC West. With the NFC noticeably weaker than the AFC, and arguably the next top four teams in the conference in the same division, they just need to keep winning to secure the top NFC playoff seed.

The Broncos still lead the AFC West, but they don't have as comfortable a grip on it as they'd like. But the Broncos did get another win this week, this one against the Panthers, and they continue to look like a top contender in the AFC.

The Bears now control the path to an NFC North Championship, and their blips during Caleb Williams's injury seem like a lifetime ago. Right now, the Bears look like one of the best teams in the NFL, and they feel like the favorites to win the divisional crown.

The loss to the Broncos a couple of weeks ago may have knocked the Chiefs out of first place in the AFC West, but they're still among the best teams in the AFC, and they proved that by throttling the Jets this past week to earn themselves a spot in the top five this week.

6. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2)

7. Detroit Lions (6-2)

8. Jacksonville Jaguars (6-2)

10. Minnesota Vikings (6-2)

11. Green Bay Packers (6-3)

12. Seattle Seahawks (5-4)

25. Atlanta Falcons (3-6)

29. New York Jets (2-7)

30. Tennessee Titans (1-7)

32. Los Angeles Chargers (0-8)
