Here are your Week 4 power rankings for the NFL! Each team’s win-loss record and their rankings from last week are in parentheses.

  1.  New England Patriots (3-0) (1) – It’s clear now.  They’re on a mission to punish the rest of the NFL.
  1.  Green Bay Packers (3-0) (2) – Won’t be seriously tested until November.
  1.  Denver Broncos (3-0) (3) – They’re winning, but the running game is nowhere and Peyton gets hit way too much.
  1.  Seattle Seahawks (1-2) (5) – You knew they’d be back.
  1.  Arizona Cardinals (3-0) (7) – Looking great on both sides of the ball.
  1.  Pittsburgh Steelers (2-1) (6) – Can Vick keep them on top while Big Ben is out?

T-7.  Cincinnati Bengals (3-0) (8) – Are they that good or is the schedule easier than we thought?

T-7.  Atlanta Falcons (3-0) (9) – No doubt that this team’s legit.

  1.  Dallas Cowboys (2-1) (4) – I’d be more worried about the defense than the QB right now.
  1.  Buffalo Bills (2-1) (11) – Back in form and looking scary.
  1.  Carolina Panthers (3-0) (13) – Quietly taking care of business.
  1.  Indianapolis Colts (1-2) (12) – A temporary reprieve, but this team still looks sick (and not in a good way).
  1.  Minnesota Vikings (2-1) (15) – Huge challenge this week at Denver.
  1.  New York Giants (1-2) (16) – Truth be told, this team should probably be 3-0.
  1.  Baltimore Ravens (0-3) (10) – Their season could end this Thursday in Pittsburgh.
  1.  St. Louis Rams (1-2) (14) – Haven’t put it all together yet, but I still like this team, especially on defense.
  1.  Philadelphia Eagles (1-2) (20) – Lucky for them they have an easier stretch of schedule in front of them.

T-18.  Miami Dolphins (1-2) (17) – AFC East gets a little more defined this week when Miami plays the Jets.

T-18.  New York Jets (2-1) (18) – Do they have the resilience to come back from a bad showing?

T-20.  San Diego Chargers (1-2) (19) – They’re better than they looked this week.

T-20.  Kansas City Chiefs (1-2) (21) – Cursed with the tough early schedule.

T-20.  Oakland Raiders (2-1) (26) – They’re beating weak teams, but that just proves they’ve taken the needed step forward to get ahead of those teams.

  1.  Houston Texans (1-2) (T-22) – Don’t kid yourself – they only beat Tampa because the Bucs’ kicker couldn’t kick.
  1.  Detroit Lions (0-3) (T-22) – Tough schedule doesn’t get easier – next 2 are vs. Seattle & Arizona.
  1.  Tennessee Titans (1-2) (29) – Look past this team at your own risk.
  1.  New Orleans Saints (0-3) (24) – They’re whole season rides on Sunday Night vs. the Cowboys.  And it might be a battle of back-up QBs to boot.
  1.  Jacksonville Jaguars (1-2) (27) – Shake it off.  The Patriots kind of do that to everyone.
  1.  Washington RacialSlurs (1-2) (28) – They are what their record says they are.
  1.  Cleveland Browns (1-2) (30) – No Johnny, not yet.
  1.  Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-2) (31) – I think “Buccaneer” is French for “shitty kicker.”
  1.  San Francisco 49ers (1-2) (25) – They’ve given up 90 points in two weeks.  What do you think the Packers are going to do to them?
  1.  Chicago Bears (0-3) (32) – There’s a strategy I haven’t seen before:  Let’s Not Try on 3.  Break!
