The NFL has officially crossed completed its first third of the 2025 season, and the second weekend of October delivered another shakeup that further scrambled the league’s hierarchy. The Giants produced the shocker of the week on Thursday night, dismantling the reigning Super Bowl champion Eagles in a stunning divisional rout that changed the entire NFC East race. Down south, the Panthers have quietly begun to turn a corner, stringing together their second straight win after outlasting the Cowboys in Charlotte, while Baker Mayfield continues to elevate his MVP campaign with another signature performance as the Buccaneers toppled the 49ers in Tampa Bay. The Chiefs also made noise with their first true statement victory of the year, handling the Lions at Arrowhead in a game that might reignite their confidence after a rocky start. And on Monday night, a rare doubleheader brought even more drama, as the Falcons’ defense stifled Josh Allen and the Bills in a stunning upset, and Jake Moody’s last-second field goal gave the Bears sweet revenge over the Commanders after last year’s Hail Mary heartbreak in Washington. Without anyone with an undefeated record and only a select number of teams with just one loss, there’s a new top team sitting atop the rankings for the second week in a row and even movement at the bottom as the league’s long-struggling teams finally picked up long-awaited wins, leaving only one club still searching for its first victory.
