The 2024 NFL postseason is almost here!&nbsp; But before FOX Sports lead NFL analyst Tom Brady heads to Lincoln Financial Field to call Sunday's game between the Green Bay Packers and the Philadelphia Eagles, it's time for the GOAT to unveil his latest power rankings!&nbsp; Check out his latest Top 5 and full analysis here:  Here's who the GOAT has ranked as his Top 5 teams entering the NFL postseason! 5. Minnesota Vikings (14-3) (Last week: 3) Week 18 result: Lost to Detroit Lions, 31-9 Brady's thoughts: "[They're] coming off a tough loss in Detroit where the offense really struggled to get anything going. But Minnesota had an outstanding season. They won 14 games under Kevin O'Connell.&nbsp; "I'm looking forward to seeing if [Sam] Darnold and the Vikings offense can get back on track in L.A. on Monday night. What a game."  4. Philadelphia Eagles (14-3) (Last week: 5) Week 18 result: Defeated New York Giants, 20-13 Brady's thoughts: "They enter the playoffs winning 12 of their last 13 games. Saquon Barkley was unstoppable all year long. It would have been nice to see him go for the rushing record in Week 18. I'm not going to lie. But I can't wait to see firsthand how the Packers plan to slow him down Sunday on FOX."  3. Buffalo Bills (13-4) (Last week: 4) Week 18 result: Lost to New England Patriots, 23-16 Brady's thoughts: "What a great season it was for the Bills. They averaged 31 points per game. Josh Allen, he certainly made a strong case for his first MVP award. I'm looking forward to seeing how Josh fares against Denver's great defense in the wild-card round."  2. Detroit Lions (15-2) (Last week: 2) Week 18 result: Defeated Minnesota Vikings, 31-9 Brady's thoughts: "They won a franchise-record 15 games, and they locked up the No. 1 seed in the NFC. They finished the year with the league's top-ranked scoring offense. And what an incredible performance from Aaron Glenn's defense vs. the Vikings last week. Great job, Detroit.&nbsp; "Now, they've earned that well-earned bye and I know Ford Field is going to be rocking in the divisional round."  1. Kansas City Chiefs (15-2) (Last week: 1) Week 18 result: Lost to Denver Broncos, 38-0 Brady's thoughts: "Another incredible season from Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. They won a franchise-record 15 games. And how about [Steve Spagnuolo's] defense ranking top five in scoring for the second year in a row?&nbsp; "Can K.C. become the first team ever to win three straight Super Bowls? I can't wait to find out. Let's go!&nbsp; "It's been a lot of fun this regular season bringing you my power rankings, but now it's a one-game season. I can't wait to watch these playoffs."
