Here’s the problem with the Power Rankings: Six 0-2 teams won their first game of the season on Sunday, including our 31st- and 32nd-ranked teams from last week. Four 2-0 teams lost, with three of them falling by double digits.
The Patriots, Cowboys and Dolphins were among the more impressive Week 1 winners. They’re 0-6 since.
The Saints looked like the NFL’s most impressive team through two weeks, averaging 45.5 points per game, then they lost at home in Week 3, scoring just 12.
The Buccaneers scored 57 points in their first two games … followed by seven at home Sunday against the Broncos, who doubled their season point total in the win.
The Raiders beat reigning MVP Lamar Jackson and the Ravens in Baltimore, then lost at home to Andy Dalton and the previously winless Panthers.
Does this mean we need to brace for the 3-0 Vikings and Steelers to hit the wall soon? No way to know on that front, but in a down year for QB play across the league, Sam Darnold and Justin Fields are off to terrific starts. Meanwhile, Malik Willis and Dalton each just played the role of hero QB off the bench, winning on the road.
Then Monday night happened. The Bills dismantled the now 0-3 Jaguars. The 2-1(!) Commanders pulled a stunner in Cincinnati, sending the Bengals to 0-3, as well.
Noticing a trend here? Very little makes sense right now. Please bear with us during this difficult time.
