Power Ranking the 25 NFL Cheerleading Squads

Houston Texans Cheerleaders — There have been plenty of Power Rankings out there for each of the 32 NFL teams, but there isn't one for the 25 NFL cheerleading squads. That will change, however, as I rank each of these cheerleading squads. Did your favorite team of ladies earn my No. 1 ranking?

25. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cheerleaders

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cheerleaders

25. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cheerleaders

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cheerleaders — The Bucs were an NFL-worst 2-14 last season, but it wasn't because of their cheerleaders. With Jameis Winston now in charge, these ladies will have something to cheer about in 2015.

24. Baltimore Ravens Cheerleaders

Baltimore Ravens Cheerleaders

24. Baltimore Ravens Cheerleaders

Baltimore Ravens Cheerleaders — The Baltimore Ravens are a first-class organization, but the fact that their cheerleading squad is co-ed bumps them down on this list.

23. St. Louis Rams Cheerleaders

St. Louis Rams Cheerleaders

23. St. Louis Rams Cheerleaders

St. Louis Rams Cheerleaders — Its a shame that the Rams are one of the favorites to move to Los Angeles. They couldn't possibly replace the gorgeous cheerleaders that they already have in St. Louis if they move to Los Angeles.

22. Carolina TopCats

Carolina Panthers Cheerleaders

22. Carolina TopCats

Carolina Panthers Cheerleaders — The Panthers have been the "Top Cats" of the NFC South for each of the past two seasons. I would like to think that it's because of the TopCats on the sidelines.

21. Washington Redskins Cheerleaders

Washington Redskins Cheerleaders

21. Washington Redskins Cheerleaders

Washington Redskins Cheerleaders — The Redskins have been in the news for all the wrong reasons, but at least the cheerleaders show up every week and cheer on their team.

20. San Francisco Gold Rush

San Francisco 49ers Cheerleaders

20. San Francisco Gold Rush

San Francisco 49ers Cheerleaders — You have to be a great cheer squad when the word "Gold" is part of your name.

19. Cincinnati Ben-Gals

Cincinnati Bengals Cheerleaders

19. Cincinnati Ben-Gals

Cincinnati Bengals Cheerleaders — These ladies must be really dedicated to the Bengals because they have to keep putting up with Andy Dalton's postseason failures.

18. Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders

Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders

18. Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders

Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders — Arizona still made the postseason despite playing four different quarterbacks. That's a testament to Bruce Arians as a coach and to the cheerleaders for keeping The University of Phoenix Stadium a hostile environment for opponents.

17. Tennessee Titans Cheerleaders

Tennessee Titans Cheerleaders

17. Tennessee Titans Cheerleaders

Tennessee Titans Cheerleaders — The ladies from the Tennessee Titans Cheerleaders haven't had much to cheer about recently with Jake Locker and Zach Mettenberger at quarterback, but Marcus Mariota will revitalize this once proud franchise.

16. Oakland Raiderettes

Oakland Raiders Cheerleaders

16. Oakland Raiderettes

Oakland Raiders Cheerleaders — The Raiders haven't had a winning season since 2002, and hopefully Jack Del Rio can turn things around because these ladies desperately want to cheer for a winner.

15. Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders

Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders

15. Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders

Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders — Philadelphia is a tough sports town, and the Eagles Cheerleaders always support their team. This offseason featured plenty of drama and distractions, but Chip Kelly will look to get the Eagles "flying" back to the postseason.

14. Atlanta Falcons Cheerleaders

Atlanta Falcons Cheerleaders

14. Atlanta Falcons Cheerleaders

Atlanta Falcons Cheerleaders — The Falcons have struggled in each of the past two seasons, but the Falcons Cheerleaders have always been consistent. Hopefully, Dan Quinn can fix the defense so these ladies can get back to the postseason.

13. Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders

Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders

13. Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders

Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders — Minnesota is flying under the radar this season, but their cheerleaders are top-notch. Mike Zimmer has a young and talented squad, and he gets Adrian Peterson, Kyle Rudolph and Mike Wallace on offense, giving second-year QB Teddy Bridgewater some weapons.

12. Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleaders

Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleaders

12. Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleaders

Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleaders — After some dark years, Andy Reid has revitalized the Chiefs, making the postseason in 2013 and nearly missing the postseason in 2014. In fact, the Chiefs were the only team to defeat both New England and Seattle last season, and a major reason was the Chiefs Cheerleaders and the Chiefs fans at Arrowhead Stadium.

11. Jacksonville ROAR

Jacksonville Jaguars Cheerleaders

11. Jacksonville ROAR

Jacksonville Jaguars Cheerleaders — The Jaguars Cheerleaders haven't had much to celebrate over the years, but 2015 could be different. Blake Bortles is in his second season as the starter and T.J. Yeldon is the new starter at running back. Jags fans and their cheerleaders have waited a long time for a winner, and 2015 just might be the year that everything turns around.

10. New York Jets Flight Crew

New York Jets Cheerleaders

10. New York Jets Flight Crew

New York Jets Cheerleaders — The Jets have had plenty of distractions this season. From Geno Smith's knockout to Sheldon Richardson's arrest, the Jets are used to being on back pages, but the Jets Flight Crew should be on the front pages. These ladies have had to put up with the Butt Fumble, Tebow-mania and four consecutive non-playoff seasons. Hopefully for these ladies, Todd Bowles can change that sooner rather than later.

9. San Diego Charger Girls

San Diego Chargers Cheerleaders

9. San Diego Charger Girls

San Diego Chargers Cheerleaders — San Diego has had great offenses over the years, and also plenty of amazing cheerleaders. The Charger Girls are a staple at every home game, and if Philip Rivers and the defense can get back on track, we will see the Charger Girls in the postseason.

8. New Orleans Saintsations

New Orleans Saints Cheerleaders

8. New Orleans Saintsations

New Orleans Saints Cheerleaders — The Saints, especially their defense, were extremely disappointing in 2014, missing the postseason for the second time in three seasons. Sean Payton and the Saintsations will look to get New Orleans back into the postseason and in contention for the Super Bowl in 2015.

7. Denver Broncos Cheerleaders

Denver Broncos Cheerleaders

7. Denver Broncos Cheerleaders

Denver Broncos Cheerleaders — The DBCs have had a lot to celebrate about for their Broncos since Peyton Manning replaced Tim Tebow in 2012. Now, new coach Gary Kubiak will look to do what John Fox couldn't and that is win the Super Bowl.

6. Indianapolis Colts Cheerleaders

Indianapolis Colts Cheerleaders

6. Indianapolis Colts Cheerleaders

Indianapolis Colts Cheerleaders — From Peyton Manning to Andrew Luck, the Colts Cheerleaders have had a lot to celebrate over the years. This year, the Colts brought in Andre Johnson, Frank Gore and Trent Cole to get them over the hump.

5. New England Patriots Cheerleaders

New England Patriots Cheerleaders

5. New England Patriots Cheerleaders

New England Patriots Cheerleaders — Pats fans are incredibly spoiled these days. New Englanders have an outrageously hot cheerleading squad to entertain while Tom Brady works his magic and Gisele sits in the box suite. On top of that, the Pats are the defending Super Bowl Champions.

4. Seattle Sea Gals

Seattle Seahawks Cheerleaders

4. Seattle Sea Gals

Seattle Seahawks Cheerleaders — With the Sea Gals on the sidelines, the Seahawks have the best home-field advantage in all of football. These ladies have helped get the Seahawks to back-to-back Super Bowls, winning one in Super Bowl XLVIII.

3. Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders

Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders

3. Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders

Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders — Miami has the hottest women, so it's no surprise that their football team has some of the hottest cheerleaders in the NFL.

2. Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders

2. Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders — As you will see, the state of Texas dominates this ranking. The Cowboys haven't been dominant on the field since 1995, but the world-famous Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders continue to be top of the line.

1. Houston Texans Cheerleaders

Houston Texans Cheerleaders

1. Houston Texans Cheerleaders

Houston Texans Cheerleaders — I may be biased as a Texans writer, but the "Babes On Parade" are No. 1 in my rankings. Their Freestyle Fridays are always spot on and their CheerChat videos are also awesome too!
