Quarterbacks make the NFL world go 'round. If money talks, then the league's biggest contracts confirm it: This position is easily the most integral in every team's hunt for a championship. The truth is a bit more complex: Every signal-caller is often only as good as his setup and situation, though a select few register as transcendent talents.

First, the Dallas Cowboys are on the list. Dallas has won three straight, including last week on Thanksgiving against the defending champs. Second, the Philadelphia Eagles are out of Brady's top 10 for the first time this season. Philly was trounced by the Bears on Black Friday and is trending downward late in the season.

Legendary quarterback Tom Brady shared his updated power rankings after Week 13 of the NFL season, and it looks like he's loving Drake Maye and the New England Patriots.

Week 13 brought drama as the Rams, Eagles and Chiefs all lost. So as we crown a new No. 1, we examine the best-case scenario for each team.

Welcome back to my weekly AFC West check-in – a quick, data-driven power ranking that tracks how the divisional shifts from Sunday to Sunday. Rankings aren’t box-score trophies – they’re context-adjusted judgments on where these teams are at and who’s sitting pole week to week.
