Tom Brady Places Indianapolis Colts No.1 Despite Reservations

Tom Brady, the iconic NFL quarterback, has named the Indianapolis Colts as the No. 1 team in his power rankings for the 2025 season, despite his personal reluctance due to a historic rivalry. The Colts' 7-1 record, led by quarterback Daniel Jones and standout players like Jonathan Taylor and Tyler Warren, has impressed Brady, who acknowledges their consistent offensive performance and potential for playoff success. Brady also highlighted Green Bay Packers' Jordan Love as a dark horse MVP candidate following a strong Week 8 showing, praising Love's calm under pressure and significant contributions to the Packers' 5-1-1 record. While the Kansas City Chiefs have improved significantly this season, Brady ranks them sixth, trailing the Colts and other top teams like the Packers and Detroit Lions. Brady's rankings reflect both team performance and individual excellence, with the Colts' rise marking a notable shift in the NFL landscape. His candid remarks underscore lingering sentiments from past rivalries but recognize the Colts' current dominance and potential to lead the AFC.
