2021 NFL Power Rankings, Week 3: Ravens knock off Chiefs, Raiders crack top 10

Tom Brady looks better at 44 than he did 10 years ago. Maybe even 15 years ago.

He led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to their second win in a row this season as they made it look easy against the Atlanta Falcons. Brady was good on 24-of-36 passing attempts for 276 yards with a 5-to-0 touchdown-to-interception ratio.

He found Mike Evans and Rob Gronkowski for two touchdowns apiece and hit Chris Godwin for the other. He hit 10 different receivers as he continues to spread the ball around like no one else — and this team has so many weapons that it makes it easy for him to be able to do just that.

Speaking of weapons, the Bucs also have the ability to pound the ball if they want to. Leonard Fournette picked up 52 yards on 11 carries and Ronald Jones added 27 on six rushes.

Their versatility and ability to win on offense and defense is why Tampa Bay is still the top team in our 2021 NFL Power Rankings — and it’s scary to think that they won it all a season ago but look much more dangerous this year. The return of all 22 starters is a huge reason why but even more important is the comfort Brady now has in this offense — and with his teammates.

Again, they stay atop the mountain until someone knocks them down a peg.
