Tom Brady elevated the Green Bay Packers into rare company this week, moving them to No. 3 in his latest NFL power rankings. The jump came after Green Bay’s tense 28–21 win over the Chicago Bears, a performance Brady described as a true top‑five matchup.
The former quarterback praised the Packers for their balance and composure in a game with divisional stakes. He highlighted Jordan Love’s three‑touchdown outing in frigid Lambeau conditions, noting how the young quarterback continues to grow in command and efficiency. Brady also pointed to Green Bay’s committee approach at receiver, calling it a strength that allows the offense to remain unpredictable and resilient.
This rise reflects a steady climb for the Packers, who sit atop the NFC North with a 9‑3‑1 record. Their recent stretch, featuring wins over the New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions and Bears, has showcased different strengths each week. A strong scoring offense and top‑tier defensive numbers have further validated their place among the league’s contenders.
Brady emphasized that the victory over Chicago served as a measuring stick. The Packers closed out the game with key plays on both sides of the ball, including Keisean Nixon’s end‑zone interception in the final seconds and Josh Jacobs’ physical touchdown run earlier in the fourth quarter. Brady said performances like these separate playoff teams from those simply fighting to stay afloat.

Green Bay’s surge also comes in a season marked by instability across the league, where few teams have sustained consistent success. By contrast, the Packers have built momentum at the right time and now sit firmly in the chase for a high NFC seed.
As the playoff race tightens, Brady believes Green Bay’s formula remains promising. With Love settling in, playmakers contributing across the roster and the defense delivering timely stops, the Packers look positioned to make their December push count.
