6. Baltimore Ravens (3-1)
The Baltimore Ravens are now 3-1 on the season. Lamar Jackson did leave this game with an ankle injury, but not before he went a ridiculous 15/20 for 222 yards and two touchdowns. That checks out to be a 144.2 passer rating, which isn’t far off from being perfect. Tyler Huntley filled in with 63 passing yards on 8/9 passing, so the Ravens QBs had quite the day.
Derrick Henry only managed 73 yards on 23 carries, but a win is a win. Baltimore is now 3-1 on the season and right in the mix in the AFC North and in the AFC. As long as this team remains healthy, and Jackson’s ankle injury is not serious, this team is going to be in good shape to win 11 or 12 games this year and perhaps get back into the playoffs as a division winner.
They check all the boxes and are simply a rock-solid football team, but Jackson does have an injury history, so that’ll be something to watch out for with this ankle ailment.
5. Chicago Bears (3-1)
It’s actually funny that the Chicago Bears have played their two most complete games in 2026 without Williams. That doesn’t change what the third-year passer means to the team, but what it does say is how well-coached this team is. The Bears are honestly awesome, as the defense has shown up big-time the past three weeks.
All of a sudden, Chicago does genuinely seem like one of the very best teams in the league, and head coach Ben Johnson has to be feeling good about the state of the offense, as both Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum have more than held their own with Williams out.
If the defense can keep playing close to as well as they have played the past three weeks, I honestly don’t see how this team doesn’t make a Super Bowl run. Things are pointing up in a big way for this franchise.
