1. Chiefs (4-0) (1): The loss of Rice may be their downfall. For now, they still remain on top and it doesn’t look like they’ll go anywhere else soon.
2. Vikings (4-0) (3): What a start to the season. The packers almost made a comeback, but doesn’t matter because the Vikings still pulled it off.
3. Lions (3-1) (4): The lions were cooking on offense on Monday night. The defense, however, struggled. They’ll need to work on their efficiency on both sides of the ball to stay ranked here. But also, that rec TD by Goff!
4. Bills (3-1) (2): Their defense was exposed to some degree. Injuries there may continue to hurt them if teams continue to attack like the Ravens did.
5. Buccaneers (3-1) (13): We’re going to side on Broncos D being legit, the Bucs and Baker just cooked on Sunday. The drop was too harsh because I had the Broncos rated too low.
6. Ravens (2-2) (14): They exposed the Bills to some extent even though they are injured. We’ll chalk the 2 losses up to early season jitters for now.
7. 49ers (2-2) (9): The Niners look a lot better when the team isn’t as banged up. However, starting to think Aiyuk may have not been worth the drama or the money.
8. Seahawks (3-1) (10): They played really well against the Lions. I think they have found their stride and could end up being a playoff team. However, this was their first game against a contending team.
9. Steelers (3-1) (5): Tough loss against the Colts, however, Fields is starting to look a lot better. Here’s to hoping they can continue to make the necessary adjustments.
10. Texans (3-1) (11): They didn’t look great against the Jags. Still not sold.
11. Commanders (2-1) (18): Okay, Jayden Daniels might be the real deal. Commanders might take their division and crack my top 10 next week if they continue to look this good.
12. Packers (2-2) (6): They almost pulled off the comeback. However, they are the third best team in the NFC North at this point. Tough division makes it hard for them to compete. Expect movement throughout those 3 teams all season long.
13. Saints (2-2) (12): Another game they should have won. Take a step back, it’s still early in the season.
14. Bears (2-2) (22): They are looking better than I gave them initial credit for. They still have a lot of work to do, but like I said before the NFC North is going to be the division this year in the NFC.
15. Cowboys (2-2) (19): They still look off, bad, whatever. But a win is a win, right?
16. Falcons (2-2) (17): Great win against the Saints. We’ll see how they perform against the Bucs this week.
17. Eagles (2-2) (7): They look real bad… like real bad. Injuries are a part but both defense and offense are not clicking.
18. Jets (2-2) (8): Another free falling team. Weather is not the best excuse. Maybe the Broncos are actually a decent team.
19. Chargers (2-2) (15): They played well against the Chiefs and actually almost pulled off the win. However, their injuries will still continue to plague them.
20. Broncos (2-2) (28): Welp, wasn’t a fluke. The team might have some momentum. Their defense looks solid.
21. Raiders (2-2) (24): Said it earlier, but a win is a win. They struggled against the Browns, and have a decent stretch of games coming up.
22. Colts (2-2) (22): Pulled off the win with some big injuries. I can’t move them much yet, but knocking off the Steelers is a feat.
23. Bengals (1-3) (25): Finally got that win. Next up is a must win, and we’ll see where this team is headed after that.
24. Cardinals (1-3) (20): Kinda shocked all their hype is starting to dwindle, but maybe that was to be expected. The offense looks a bit off.
25. Rams (1-3) (21): Injuries will continue to be an issue and their defense just looks off now that Donald isn’t there any more.
26. Browns (1-3) (26): The Browns needed to beat the Raiders. They just don’t look good all around. Cooper might be playing for another team sooner rather than later.
27. Giants (1-3) (29): Malik Nabers is the team. He can’t be the only person on the team.
28. Dolphins (1-3) (23): This team just can’t get started on offense. The team has talent, but the loss of Tua will hurt their chances on the year.
29. Titans (1-3) (32): Mason Rudolph gave me a reason they shouldn’t be 32
30. Jaguars (0-4) (29): Somehow, they are still above 3 other teams being 0-4.
31. Panthers (1-3) (30): At least the panthers looked like they were having fun!
32. Patriots (1-3) (23): Shocked they beat the Bengals and give Seattle a run for their money. The Niners looked like they weren’t even trying.
