Week 1 of the 2025 NFL Season is about over. Let's get into our power rankings as the first week of action closes out. Not surprisingly, the first week of [the NFL season](https://nflspinzone.com/nfl-power-rankings-ranking-qbs-under-the-most-pressure-as-week-1-continues) did bring some surprises, and that is putting it lightly.
This is how it goes in the NFL, though - teams are not playing at their true level, whether good or bad, when Week 1 rolls around. It will take about a month, in my opinion, for teams to truly sort themselves out as being a contender, pretender, or somewhere in the middle.
We've got one more game left in Week 1 when the Chicago Bears host the Minnesota Vikings. As we have done each week during the regular season, our power rankings are here.
NFL Power Rankings: Already a ton of movement as Week 1 closes out
------------------------------------------------------------------
### 32\. New Orleans Saints
It was a Week 1 loss for the New Orleans Saints, at home against the Arizona Cardinals. This wasn’t a shock at all, but the Saints did keep it close. They have been our worst team in the NFL for a while now, and a close loss will not change that.
### 31\. Miami Dolphins
So, uhm, are the Miami Dolphins going to be this bad? I mean, that was a horrific showing in Week 1, and it’s not like the Indianapolis Colts are that good of a football team. Absolutely nothing was working on either side of the ball. Miami craters in our latest power rankings.
### 30\. Carolina Panthers
Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers could not get it done in Week 1, and while it’s early, I now have a hunch that Carolina just isn’t going to be much better than they were in 2024.
### 29\. New York Giants
Is there already a QB controversy for the New York Giants? A bad loss in Week 1 has the Giants left with an obvious decision; yes, it’s Week 1, but it might already be time for the team to send Russell Wilson to the bench.
