The 2022 NFL season is in the past, and now it's time to look forward to the upcoming 2023 season. As tradition entails, we will pick the best team in the league today and highlight nine other teams that could make some noise ahead of the 2023 season. This ranking comes before the draft, off-season trades, and other activities.

Who is the best team in the NFL today?

The Kansas City Chiefs are the best team in the league today, and it isn't exactly close. The Chiefs are fresh off a Super Bowl LVII victory against the favored Philadelphia Eagles. The Chiefs have the best quarterback of the generation in Patrick Mahomes, and the best tight end in the league since Rob Gronkowski in Travis Kelce.

The Chiefs are a football team, and almost everything about their franchise screams excellence. However, one thing that might worry Chiefs fans at the moment is the future of their All-Star head coach, Andy Reid.

Since the Super Bowl victory, Reid has been non-committal about his future in Kansas City. Chiefs fans will be hoping that he stays, as Andy Reid is a serious part of what makes the Chiefs such a resounding success. It's not an exaggeration to say that the Kansas City Chiefs are much more beatable without Andy Reid.

The top ten teams in the NFL heading into the 2023 NFL Season

Here are our top ten teams in the National Football League heading into the offseason and 2023 season:

  1. Kansas City Chiefs
  2. Philadelphia Eagles
  3. Cincinnati Bengals
  4. San Francisco 49ers
  5. Buffalo Bills
  6. Dallas Cowboys
  7. Jacksonville Jaguars
  8. Los Angeles Chargers
  9. New York Giants
  10. Baltimore Ravens

The above ranking is based on many factors, such as the team's playoff performances in the 2022 season and the current strength of their rosters. However, these rankings mean next to nothing when your season begins, as some teams that made up last years top ten haven't even cracked the top ten this season.

We look at the Green Bay Packers, the Los Angeles Rams, and the Tom Brady-less Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 2023 season promises to be exciting, as the league will likely get an influx of elite rookies, complex scripts, and an array of impressive coaching performances.

The National Football League scriptwriters are probably hard at work at the moment! The Kansas City Chiefs have a target on their backs heading into the season; let's see how they handle that.
