One Sentence Power Rankings: Week 4

  |  
Sep 25, 2018

 

  1. L.A. Rams: As a Vikings fan I hope this team has peaked way too early, because they look elite at every position and should be at #1 in every power rankings this week.
  2. Kansas City Chiefs: The Chiefs will stay at #2 until they stop a team from moving the ball on them at will, but if they get the defense figured out, they will easily take over #1.
  3. Jacksonville Jaguars: Tennessee is Jacksonville’s kryptonite, but Jacksonville won’t lose many games when they only give up 9 points.
  4. Philadelphia Eagles: Carson Wentz looked good in his return, but the Eagles look mortal this season and their defense is going to have to step up to take them to that next level.
  5. Carolina Panthers: Carolina beat a legitimate Bengals squad by two possessions this week, and I think all of the draft picks used to help out Cam are working out fine.
  6. New England Patriots: New England has a habit of stinking in September but be very good in January, so I won’t drop them too far until they stink in October too.
  7. New Orleans Saints: The Saints defense doesn’t look elite like last season, but the offense looks so good they haven’t needed the defense.
  8. Minnesota Vikings: This Bills game reminded me of the 49ers game a few years ago when the team got blown out, but still won the North.
  9. Green Bay Packers: Aaron Rodgers made clutch throws and his young receivers let him down multiple times, plus the defense isn’t looking good.
  10. Chicago Bears: The Bears’ would be at #1 if they had a quarterback, but Trubisky will stink this team to an 8-win season.
  11. Atlanta Falcons: This team will get healthy eventually, and when they do they’ll start winning a lot of games.
  12. Cincinnati Bengals: The Bengals will be in the division race all season and will most likely make the playoffs, but to push them over the hump they need John Ross to do something.
  13. Pittsburgh Steelers: The Steelers ended “Fitzmagic” but still let him throw for 400 yards and 3 touchdowns, meaning this defense is still utter trash.
  14. Miami Dolphins: I’ve disrespected the Dolphins long enough, but a 3-0 start looks pretty good and I could see this team making the playoffs.
  15. Baltimore Ravens: The Ravens need to stay healthy to compete this season, and Joe Flacco needs to decide whether he is the Flacco from the Bills game or the Flacco from the Bengals game.
  16. Tennessee Titans: The Titans were supposed to take that next step this season and become a powerhouse in the AFC, but they have looked average so far but could still be great.
  17. L.A. Chargers: The Chargers are a let-down every year.
  18. Washington Redskins: The Redskins may have beaten the Packers, but you can make the case the Packers beat the Packers, so I’m not fully buying into the Skins just yet.
  19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: “Fitzmagic” looked like Fitzpatrick, which is “Fitz-Tragic” for the Buccaneers.
  20. Denver Broncos: I could have the Broncos way too low or way too high, I just can’t tell if Keenum can be great with this team.
  21. Seattle Seahawks: The Seahawks beat the biggest 1-trick-pony in the NFL, but still have a terrible offensive line and a so-so defense.
  22. Dallas Cowboys: The Cowboys need to call Dez back and beg.
  23. Houston Texans: Watson and Wat coming back aren’t enough to fix this team, and that’s a shame because I thought they would be doing what the Chiefs are doing now.
  24. New York Giants: The Giants should be scouting for a quarterback this year, sorry Eli.
  25. Indianapolis Colts: Andrew Luck doesn’t look nearly as great, but he is knocking off rust still so let’s give him time.
  26. Detroit Lions: I’d bet a lot of money this team still finishes last in the NFC North.
  27. Cleveland Browns: Shake and Bake: Savor the Savior Cleveland, and also enjoy 7 wins this year.
  28. San Francisco 49ers: This team plummets because without Jimmy G they looked worse than the Browns last year.
  29. New York Jets: No one loves the Jets more than Cleveland fans this week, but at least the Jets have their quarterback of the future and a solid defense to build with.
  30. Oakland Raiders: Don’t panic about the bad start or the Kahlil Mack trade, let Gruden get his kind of guys on the team and see what happens.
  31. Buffalo Bills: That was a booty whooping, but you still stink.
  32. Arizona Cardinals: Congratulations on blowing a 14-point lead to Mitchell Trubisky Arizona, you have earned this last place finish. Bonus: Rosen isn’t going to be that good.
