Week Four: Power Rankings

As we just finish Week Four of the NFL season, we're starting to familiarize ourselves with each of these new teams, and how their drafted rookies are impacting the team. We'll spoil it: Chiefs stay number one. However, a lot of the other teams right behind them aren't looking too good, especially the Falcons and Titans. Let's get into it.

1st Rank: Kansas City Chiefs (--)

2nd Rank: Detroit Lions (+3)

3rd Rank: Philadelphia Eagles (+8)

4th Rank: Atlanta Falcons (-2)

5th Rank: Pittsburgh Steelers (+9)

6th Rank: Green Bay Packers (+6)

7th Rank: Los Angeles Rams (+3)

8th Rank: New England Patriots (-5)

We have a bit of seeding change up in here. Chiefs perch at the number one spot. Lions knock off the former 8th seed Vikings, Eagles get Blount going and win, Falcons drop after a defensive loss to the Bills, Steelers dominate against rival Ravens, Packers get a win, Rams knock off the Cowboys, and Patriots lose a close one. All in all, we got so many upsets we don't even know who'll be top eight at the end of the season.

9th Rank: Buffalo Bills (+15)

10th Rank: Seattle Seahawks (+5)

11th Rank: Washington Redskins (-3)

12th Rank: New Orleans Saints (+4)

13th Rank: Denver Broncos (--)

14th Rank: Carolina Panthers (+3)

15th Rank: Minnesota Vikings (-7)

16th Rank: Tennessee Titans (-11)

Starting the 9th through 16th ranks, the Bills win against the Falcons. Seahawks blow out the Colts, Redskins lose a close one, Saints shut OUT the Dolphins, Denver wins, Panthers go up after winning, Vikings drop after losing, and Titans drop after giving up 57 points. Whew. That was a lot going on in just 8 ranks. Let's move on.

17th Rank: Houston Texans (+6)

18th Rank: New York Jets (+3)

19th Rank: Baltimore Ravens (-1)

20th Rank: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+2)

21st Rank: Jacksonville Jaguars (-14)

22nd Rank: Dallas Cowboys (-2)

23rd Rank: Arizona Cardinals (+2)

24th Rank: Oakland Raiders (-15)

Texans are the guys moving up in these ranks. We didn't move them up as much as you may expect, because it was just ONE game. If we get more of these performances from Watson, up they go. Jets move after beating the Jags, Ravens drop, Bucs win against the Giants, Jaguars drop horribly after their loss, and so does Dallas, Oakland drops a lot after Broncos win, and the Bears cap it off with a loss.

25th Rank: Cincinnati Bengals (+6)

26th Rank: San Francisco 49ers (+1)

27th Rank: Indianapolis Colts (-1)

28th Rank: Los Angeles Chargers (+1)

29th Rank: New York Giants (-1)

30th Rank: Chicago Bears (-11)

31st Rank: Miami Dolphins (-1)

32nd Rank: Cleveland Browns (--)

This is the bottom of the barrel, folks. Bengals go up after winning to the Browns, 49ers go up after giving stiff competition to the Cardinals, Colts drop after losing, Chargers go up after almost beating the Eagles, Giants drop after losing to the Bucs, Bear suffer majorly after the defeat, Dolphins go down after getting shut out, and Browns remain the 32nd seed.

We've gotta say, Week Four was definitely some fun. AnythingNFL did not expect the Saints to shut out the Dolphins, nor the Cardinals vs 49ers game to go to OVERTIME. For the future, we'll see whether the Chiefs can hold their spot, considering their Week six matchup against the Steelers. We'll see how that one unfolds. For now though, let's just enjoy these rankings as bragging rights.
