MNF is in the books and week 14 is officially over. As we head into week 15, here are the top 5 teams in the NFL
Lions

Even with a beat-up defense, they were able to beat a good Packers team on TNF. They remain the number one seed in the NFC and are the best team in football. They are seemingly unbeatable at home and their prolific run game can carry them all the way to a Super Bowl.
Eagles

They came away with a win on Sunday, but it wasn’t pretty. The defense was good, and Saquon was great as always, but the passing game really struggled. They need to get that figured out. There seems to be some drama going on behind the season with Hurts and Brown, which is never a good thing.
Bills
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI – OCTOBER 16: Josh Allen #17 of the Buffalo Bills calls a play at the line during the third quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on October 16, 2022 in Kansas City, Missouri. (Photo by Jason Hanna/Getty Images)
The offense was spectacular, putting up 42 points, but their defense really let them down on the road in Los Angeles, losing 44-42 to the Rams. Had they won that game, they would be ahead of the Eagles on this list. They have a tough test coming up this weekend on the road in Detroit.
Chiefs

Their defense is great, and it has been all season, but their offense doesn’t seem to be at a championship level. Come playoff time, they usually figure it out, but it is a weakness right now. They will need to get Isiah Pacheco rolling like he did in the 2nd half of SNF.
Vikings
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – SEPTEMBER 15: Quarterback Sam Darnold #14 of the Minnesota Vikings throws a pass against the San Francisco 49ers during the second quarter at U.S. Bank Stadium on September 15, 2024 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Photo by Stephen Maturen/Getty Images)
For a while, it looked like they were going to be in a close game yet again, but eventually, the Vikings pulled away and beat the Falcons. People have doubted them along the way, but they have 11 wins on the season and Sam Darnold is playing inspired football.
