NFL Power Rankings (Week 4)
The Texans are crushing teams and they are the new number 1 team in the NFL. The Falcons continue to win and the same can be said for the Arizona Cardinals. This past week saw two teams that people thought would be better get destroyed. There are a few surprise teams this season and we all know RG3 is the real deal. Here are the week 4 power rankings.
1. Houston Texans(4-0) Last week rank (2)
The Texans get the nod over the Falcons because they are absolutely crushing teams. They are winning their games by an average of over 20 points.
2. Atlanta Falcons(4-0) Last week rank (1)
Thanks to a Cam Newton turnover the Falcons are 4-0 this season. A win is a win and it looks like they could win their division by Thanksgiving. Roddy White is proving he is one of the best WR in the game.
3. San Francisco 49ers(3-1) Last week rank (4)
The 49ers refocused and demolished the Jets 34-0. They racked up 245 yards on the ground against the Jets defense. The defense brought Mark Sanchez one step closer to losing his job to Tim Tebow.
4. Baltimore Ravens(3-1) Last week rank (3)
The game last Thursday against the Browns wasn’t pretty, but the Ravens found a way to win the game. This team will go as far as Joe Flacco takes them.
5. Arizona Cardinals(4-0) Last week rank (5)
They are 4-0 for the first time since 1974. The victory wasn’t one to get excited about as they once against couldn’t get over 300 net yards offensively for the game. Imagine how good they can be if they get their offense going.
6. Philadelphia Eagles(3-1) Last week rank (7)
For the first time all season Mike Vick didn’t have a turnover. The amazing thing is that the Eagles are 3-1 and there is still talk that the team should bench
7. New England Patriots(2-2) Last week rank (8)
The Pats were down 21-7 to the Buffalo Bills at about the 11 minute mark of the 3rd quarter. They went on to out score the Bills 45-7 the rest of the way. If they keep the running game going they just might not lose another game.
8. Green Bay Packers(2-2) Last week rank (9)
The Packers won a must win game against the Saints at Lambeau Field. They are now digging themselves out of a hole but they are only one game back in the division.
9. Chicago Bears(3-1) Last week rank (11)
The Bears completely whooped the Dallas Cowboys at Jerry World on MNF. The Jay Cutler to Brandon Marshall combination finally got on track, and the defense played very well. The defense harassed Tony Romo all game and forced him to throw 5 interceptions.
10. New York Giants (2-2) Last week rank (6)
The Giants are becoming to dependent on Eli Manning. As the injuries pile up people will have to wonder how long they can continue to win.
11. San Diego Chargers(3-1) Last week rank (12)
The Chargers are 3-1 just as they were at this same time last year. The question has to be are they for real or will they fall apart as the season continues.
12. Cincinnati Bengals(3-1) Last week rank (13)
Huge stretch for the Bengals as they play 4 of their next 5 games at home.
13. Denver Broncos(2-2) Last week rank (15)
Peyton vs Brady against this Sunday. It should be a great game as two of the best quarterbacks of all time square off. Brady is coming off a great game against the Bills, and Manning is looking stronger each week.
14. Minnesota Vikings(3-1) Last week rank (19)
They just might be a bigger surprise than the Cardinals so far this season.
15. Washington Redskins(2-2) Last week rank (23)
RGIII is the real deal period. As long as he stays healthy the Redskins will compete for the next 10-12 years.
16. Pittsburgh Steelers(1-2) Last week rank (17)
The Steelers have a record of 4-1 following a bye week under Mike Tomlin.
17. Seattle Seahawks(2-2) Last week rank (10)
The offense for some reason can’t pass the football. Their defense is keeping them in the game, but Russell Wilson will have to start providing some yards in the passing game.
18. Dallas Cowboys(2-2) Last week rank (14)
Tony Romo has a very good receiving core, but for some reason they can’t get on the same page. The Cowboys have been blown out in 2 of the past 3 games. The question needs to be asked is Tony Romo the answer at quarterback?
19. Detroit Lions(1-3) Last week rank (18)
Last year penalties killed this team. This year so far it has been special teams play. They are already 2 back in the division so thinks better turn around quickly for this Lions team.
20. St. Louis Rams(2-2) Last week rank (26)
Huge divisional game tomorrow night against the 4-0 Cardinals. If the Rams can win that game they are still in the hunt. If they lose they will already be 3 back of the Cardinals.
21. Buffalo Bills(2-2) Last week rank (20)
Yes they gave up 52 points to the Patriots, the question though has to be where is Mario Williams?
22. Tampa Bay Bucs(1-3) Last week rank (21)
The Bucs play the next 2 games at home against the Chiefs and Saints, if they can win those games they will be right back in the thick of the race.
23. Carolina Panthers(1-3) Last week rank (24)
If Cam Newton hadn’t fumbled late in the game the Panthers would be 2-2 and the Falcons 3-1.
24. New York Jets(2-2) Last week rank (16)
I knew the lose of Revis would be huge, I didn’t expect the Jets to get blanked though. Mark Sanchez looks like a scared quarterback out there playing. To make matters worse Santonio Holmes is lost for the season.
25. Tennessee Titans(1-3) Last week rank (22)
The Titans got blown out, but we finally got to see the real Chris Johnson. The injury to Locker can hurt this team in the long run.
26. Miami Dolphins(1-3) Last week rank (27)
Back to back overtime defeats is tough to deal with. The bright spot was Ryan Tannehill threw for a rookie record 431 yards last week.
27. Kansas City Chiefs(1-3) Last week rank (25)
Where is the Matt Cassel that played for the Patriots the year Tom Brady got hurt?
28. New Orleans Saints(0-4) Last week rank (29)
The season is probably already over for Drew Brees and company.
29. Oakland Raiders(1-2) Last week rank (28)
Should be interesting to see how the Raiders play coming off their bye week.
30. Indianapolis Colts(1-2) Last week rank (30)
Much success to the Colts head coach as he battles cancer.
31. Jacksonville Jaguars(1-3) Last week rank (31)
The Jags just are not very good.
32. Cleveland Browns(0-4) Last week rank (32)
Can the Browns win a game? Brandon Weeden has already thrown 7 interceptions.
