With another week of NFL games in the books, we can unveil our newest installment of weekly power rankings. Who fell? Did a team make a major rise up? It’s safe to say that Week 3 was wild. The Miami Dolphins, for one, put up the second most points in a game in NFL history with 70 on the Denver Broncos.

NFL Power Rankings: Who stands at the top after Week 3?
32. Chicago Bears (0-3)
31. Denver Broncos (0-3)
30. New York Jets (1-2)

NFL Power Rankings: Who stands at the top after Week 3?
28. Carolina Panthers (0-3)
27. Arizona Cardinals (1-2)
The Arizona Cardinals won a nice game against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3, which was a huge upset that I don’t think many saw coming, but this is still a bad team that is going to be picking very high in the 2024 NFL Draft. Right now, actually, they’re picking outside the top 10, but obviously we have a ton of time to go.
26. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1)
25. New York Giants (1-2)

NFL Power Rankings: Who stands at the top after Week 3?
24. Tennessee Titans (1-2)
23. Las Vegas Raiders (1-1)
22. Los Angeles Chargers (1-2)
21. New Orleans Saints (2-1)
Yeah, I just can’t get there with the New Orleans Saints. I think them having one of the easiest schedules in the NFL this year is a huge reason why they jumped out to a 2-1 start. Derek Carr also seems to have an injury that will keep him out of the lineup for some time.
