Week 4: NFL Power Rankings, The Seattle Seahawks Remain At Number 1, While The Arizona Cardinals Move Into The Top 5
Number 9: Chicago Bears (2-1) – Last Week 8
The Chicago Bears were able to overcome multiple defensive injuries and hold off the New York Jets. Alshon Jeffery finally emerged and the play of rookie cornerback Kyle Fuller is a good sight to see if you’re a Chicago fan.
Number 10: Atlanta Falcons (2-1) – Last Week 20
The Falcons needed a good bounce back performance after being throttled by the Bengals and they were able to get what they wanted by making quick work of the Bucs on Thursday night.
Number 11: Baltimore Ravens (2-1) – Last Week 13
Give the Ravens some credit. With all the off-field distractions, they have been able to get to 2-1.
Number 12: Carolina Panthers (2-1) – Last Week 11
The defense was unable to stop the Pittsburgh Steelers rushing attack, allowing two 100 yard rushers. It was also a rough night for Cam Newton, who was constantly under pressure.
Number 13: San Francisco 49ers (1-2) – Last Week 3
Sloppy play, mixed with a ton of penalties and 2nd half meltdowns has the 49ers facing the same situation they were in last year, under .500 through three games. Still, I would not give up on San Francisco just yet.
Number 14: Pittsburgh Steelers (2-1) – Last Week 16
The Steelers offense was finally able to break their streak of eight straight quarters without a touchdown, doing so in impressive fashion.
Number 15: Detroit Lions (2-1) – Last Week 18
The Lions defense looked really good against the Packers. Anytime you hold Rodgers to just seven points you are doing something right.
Number 16: New Orleans Saints (1-2) – Last Week 14
Credit to the Saints defense. They haven’t been able to live up to their hype; however, holding the Vikings to just nine points is a good way to turn the tide.
