The San Francisco 49ers outdueled the Philadelphia Eagles in a matchup that left no questions of who should be No. 1 in this week&#8217;s ranks. The Kansas City Chiefs struggled against the Green Bay Packers, and the Cleveland Browns were overpowered by the Los Angeles Rams. Also, one team no one could have expected at season&#8217;s beginning has debuted in the top 10.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the updated rankings, our NFL Nation reporters name one player or coach who has been a pleasant surprise for each team.

Through 12 games, Purdy leads the NFL in QBR (75.6), completion percentage (70.2%) and yards per attempt (9.6), among other key categories. Purdy hasn&#8217;t just picked up where he left off, he has been better and helped elevate the Niners&#8217; offense to heights it hasn&#8217;t previously reached since coach Kyle Shanahan arrived in 2017. <em>&#8212; Nick Wagoner<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"floatleft\" src=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1701783772_374_NFL-Week-14-Power-Rankings-2023-How-all-32-teams.png&#038;h=110&#038;w=110.png\" width=\"31\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Week 13 ranking:<\/strong> 1<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1697549598_612_NFL-Week-7-Power-Rankings-2023-How-all-32-teams.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pleasant surprise:<\/strong> ST coach Michael Clay<\/p>\n<p>The Eagles&#8217; special teams group turned from a weakness in 2022 to a strength this season.

A third-round pick in 2020, Madubuike had 8.5 sacks in his first three seasons combined (42 games).

But this season, LaPorta has been the guy. His NFL career is off to a great start with the third-most catches (64) and the fourth-most receiving yards (679) through the first 12 games of a tight end&#8217;s career in NFL history.

The rookie now has 77 catches for 1,029 yards this season, which is the franchise record for receiving yards in a rookie season. His yardage total is also the fourth most through a player&#8217;s first 12 games since the 1970 merger. The Rams didn&#8217;t come into the season with much depth at receiver, so Nacua&#8217;s emergence has been a welcome surprise.

Undrafted rookies are usually long shots to make NFL rosters, and when they&#8217;re receivers who run a 4.99-second 40-yard dash, as Bobo did at his UCLA pro day, it&#8217;s pretty much a non-starter. But Bobo showed the Seahawks over the offseason that he&#8217;s a bit faster than that time suggests, and that his other skills can compensate for his lack of speed. After standing out in the preseason and training camp, he has caught 15 passes for 171 yards and scored three touchdowns (one rushing) as Seattle&#8217;s No. 4 receiver. <em>&#8212; Brady Henderson<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<aside class=\"inline inline-photo full\">\n<figure><picture><source data- media=\"(min-width: 376px)\"><source data- media=\"(max-width: 375px)\"><img class=\" lazyload lazyload\" data-image-container=\".inline-photo\" height=\"320\" width=\"570\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"photoCaption\">Raheem Mostert, DeMeco Ryans &amp; Jake Bobo\u00a0<cite>ESPN<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"floatleft\" src=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1701783772_890_NFL-Week-14-Power-Rankings-2023-How-all-32-teams.png&#038;h=110&#038;w=110.png\" width=\"31\"\/><\/p>\n<p><b>Week 13 ranking:<\/b> 18<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1697549598_357_NFL-Week-7-Power-Rankings-2023-How-all-32-teams.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pleasant surprise: <\/strong>RG Will Fries<\/p>\n<p>It was surprising when the Colts did little to upgrade their offensive line starters after a rough season in 2022.
