NFL Power Rankings, Week 4: Seahawks, Packers keep surging

This was easily the best game Tom Brady has had yet as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The future Hall of Fame quarterback was 25-of-38 passing for 297 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. He connected with Mike Evans for two one-yard touchdowns and hit Chris Godwin for his other.

He also passed the ball around to everyone, with Scotty Miller hauling in the most yards (83 on three receptions) and Rob Gronkowski securing the most catches (six for 48 yards). For Gronk, it was also his best performance in Tampa Bay as he was not only learning a new system but also shaking the rust off throughout the first couple of weeks after sitting out the 2019 season.

More impressive than the offense — which we all knew would be good this season — was the way the Tampa Bay defense played. They held the Broncos to just 10 points and while it’s true they were without Drew Lock, they still had Melvin Gordon who can hurt defenses and he was held to just 26 yards on eight carries.

The Buccaneer’s defense was the one question mark headed into this season, so seeing them perform well was encouraging. They’re getting it done early and remain a top contender in the NFC.
