Tom Brady's Top 5 NFL Teams: Where will Chiefs and Cowboys land after impressive wins in Week 1?

Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season is over, and before we turn the page to Week 2, it's time for FOX Sports NFL analyst Tom Brady to reveal his current top 5 teams!

Several expected postseason contenders made strong statements in Week 1, including the Dallas Cowboys, who dominated the Cleveland Browns in Brady's television debut, and the Detroit Lions, who beat the Los Angeles Rams in overtime in a playoff rematch from last year. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs continued to look strong and are trying to accomplish something not even Brady himself has managed throughout the GOAT's career – win three Super Bowls in a row.

Here's which teams Brady ranked in his top 5 teams after Week 1!

Tom Brady's Top 5 NFL Teams

Brady’s thoughts: “They got off to a great start at home against the Indianapolis Colts. DeMeco Ryan has done a great job since he took over as head coach of this team. They were in the playoffs last year and have a great defense. But this game for me was about CJ Stroud. He played so convincing situational football. They're going to be a tough team to beat all season long.”

Brady’s thoughts: “What a performance on the road against Cleveland, who also have a great defense – but Dallas' defense showed. The Cowboys held Cleveland to two first downs all day. They smothered the Browns in the running game, they attacked that pocket. Deshaun [Watson] was uncomfortable all day, and then on the offensive side of the ball, Dak [Prescott] made the plays when they needed to. They had a big play in the kick return game. They played well in all three phases.”

Brady’s thoughts: “What a game they played. They showed a lot of resilience and played against a really strong Rams team that I think is going to surprise a lot of people this year. Detroit got the ball in overtime and drove it down the Rams' throats. David Montgomery with a great performance in overtime. I know Dan Campbell loves tough, hard-hitting football. Well, he's got it this year with this team.”

Brady’s thoughts: “What they did on offense without their best player [Christian McCaffrey]they still managed to dominate the running game. They played very well in pass defense against Aaron Rodgers – he's obviously coming off an injury – but I'm excited about everything I saw from the Niners on Monday night.”

Brady’s thoughts: “It was the usual suspects. Patrick Mahomes looked fantastic. Two touchdowns for Xavier Worthy – the last thing the offense needs is more weapons, and they got him. Worthy showed his speed on a reverse, ran up the sideline and caught another touchdown pass. It was a great game, but that performance by the Chiefs and of course the win [the Super Bowl] last year, this year there are always high expectations for them. They beat a great Baltimore Ravens team earlier in the year, I give Coach a lot of credit [Andy] Reid. I look forward to seeing what the Chiefs do the rest of the season.”
