NFL Power Rankings

Welcome to our NFL power rankings page for the 2005 pro football season. Our power rankings use a variety of statistical indicators, including drive charts, play-by-play data, red zone performance and more to come up with our supercharged power rating numbers.

There is no shortage of sites posting NFL Power Rankings, but we like to think that the TwoMinuteWarning NFL power rankings have a little something special added in!


Week Thirteen NFL power rankings

In a sixteen game season you have to move fast if you want to keep your NFL power rankings up to date. Our "power ranking formula" is based primarily on a number of excellent in-season indicators and we will settle for being close for now with the understanding that shortly with more games played we will be honing in on true NFL team ability rankings.
