NFL Power Rankings: Big changes coming after Week 4 games
32. Chicago Bears (0-4)
The Chicago Bears opened up a 21-point lead against the Denver Broncos and decided to get outscored 24-7 in the second half to fall to the Broncos, who have their own share of issues. However, the Bears utterly collapsed after a marvelous performance from Justin Fields and are the worst team in the NFL.
31. Carolina Panthers (0-4)
It’s only fair to put the two winless teams at the bottom of the power rankings. The Carolina Panthers are no good but are a rebuilding team, remember that. Honestly, I do wonder what this team does if they earn the #1 overall pick in 2024. Would they pull the plug early on Bryce Young in exchange for Caleb Williams?
30. New York Jets (1-2)
29. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2)

16. Cleveland Browns (2-2)
15. Los Angeles Chargers (2-2)
14. Tennessee Titans (2-2)
13. Houston Texans (2-2)
Folks, the Houston Texans are for real. CJ Stroud has thrown for exactly 0 interceptions in 2023 and has a passer rating of over 100. This rebuilding plan with DeMeco Ryans at the helm was likely a multi-year thing, but I think they’ve even surprised themselves with how early they’ve gotten this type of progress.
