Week 3 Power Rankings (graphic coming soon)
1.
Washington Redskins (last week: 1)- AC and the offense showed up against the Bengals in their 40-21 win. This team can be scary good. Look out Tampa.
2.
Baltimore Ravens (last week: 2)- LBz absolutely dominated the Patriots winning 45-3. He takes on the winless Browns on Thursday night.
3.
Buffalo Bills (last week: 3)- D11 continues their winning ways defeating the Browns 38-31, holding them to 10 yards of total rushing. They face the reeling Patriots next week.
4.
Seattle Seahawks (last week: 5)- In the game of the week the Seahawks were able to defeat the Packers 35-27 on Monday Night. They face the winless Rams next week.
5.
Indianapolis Colts (last week: 6)- Andrew Luck almost looks like a lock for RotY after throwing for 400 yards in their 24-19 win over the Jaguars. Everything is good when you’re winning.
6.
Miami Dolphins (last week: 7)- Dan Carpenter kicked his 2nd game winning FG in their 32-31 win over the Jets. Next week they have their first true road test against the Cardinals.
7.
Green Bay Packers (last week: 4)- Couldn’t overcome Russell Wilson in their 35-27 loss to the Seahawks. They face the winless Saints this week.
8.
Kansas City Chiefs (last week: 12)- They ran all over the Saints in their 24-12 victory against the Saints. They look to continue against the Chargers.
9.
Tampa Bay Bucs (last week: 8)- Doug Martin only had 9 rushes on the day in their 24-20 loss to the Cowboys. He needs more touches for them to have success. Big underdogs against the Redskins this coming week.
10.
Philadelphia Eagles (last week: 17)- Won the turnover battle by 1 but that is all that matters as they beat the Cardinals 23-16. Eagles-Giants, loser will fall to 2-2.
11.
New York Giants (last week: 15)- No turnovers in their 34-17 win against Carolina. David Wilson pitched in with a great performance. It won’t get easier against the Eagles coming up.
12.
San Diego Chargers (last week: 24)- Phillip Rivers went off against the D-Block in the tune of457 yards along with breaking many tackles. Another test for the Chargers, this time against the Chiefs.
13.
Minnesota Vikings (last week: 23)- Dubbed (pun intended) as the “lag bowl”, Minnesota escaped with an ugly 9-3 win over the 49ers. Both teams almost had less than 100 yards of offense each. They face the Lions next week.
14.
Detroit Lions (last week: 18)- The Lions are committed to the run, rushing more times than passing in their 31-21 win over the Titans. Let’s see if their recipe of success will continue against the Vikings.
15.
Oakland Raiders (last week: 22)- The Raiders balanced attack against the Steelers is why they won 35-31. Tied atop the division with the Chiefs and Chargers, they need a win against the winless Broncos.
16.
Atlanta Falcons (last week: 9)- Matt Ryan couldn’t overcome Phillip Rivers magic in their 45-42 loss to the Chargers. They need to win this week against the Panthers.
17.
Arizona Cardinals (last week: 10)- Jason Campbell’s poor play led to their loss against the eagles 23-16. He should rebound nicely against the Dolphins secondary.
18.
San Francisco 49ers (last week: 11)- They are reeling after a 9-3 defeat against the Vikings. It’s time to hit the panic button if they don’t win next week against the Jets.
19.
New York Jets (last week: 13)- Disappointing loss 32-31 to their division rival Miami. Next week they face the 49ers where the looser will be in trouble.
20.
Cincinnati Bengals (last week: 14)- They had no turnovers and forced 3 but couldn’t overcome the power of the Redskins losing 40-21. Tough matchup against the Jags coming up.
21.
Pittsburgh Steelers (last week: 16)- Steelers were unable to convert on 3rd down the whole game with a 0% conversion in their 35-31 loss to the Raiders.
22.
Dallas Cowboys (last week: 26)- Gave the Bucs their first loss of the season winning 24-20. Romo looked efficient and hopes to continue success against the Bears on Monday night.
23.
Tennessee Titans (last week: 19)- CJ2K only had 1 rushing yard on 12 attempts in their 31-21 loss to the Lions. He needs to show up to have success against the Texans.
24.
Jacksonville Jaguars (last week: 20)- Put up a strong fight against the Colts but fell short 24-19. Let’s see if they can pull out a win against the Bengals.
25.
Carolina Panthers (last week: 21)- Unable to get anything going on the ground in their 17-34 loss to the Giants. Swag Newton looks to get back on track against the tough Falcons.
26.
Houston Texans (last week: 27)- Only turned the ball over once in their 24-17 win over the Broncos. They hope to get back on track next week against the Titans.
27.
Chicago Bears (last week: 32)- Da Bears dominated against the winless Rams winning 19-3 forcing 4 turnovers. They seem to be back on track and next week face the Cowboys on Monday Night.
28.
St. Louis Rams (last week: 25)- Nothing looked good in their 19-3 loss to the Bears. Bradford needs to take care of the ball for them to have success. They look to pull an upset next week against the Seahawks.
29.
Denver Broncos (last week: 29)- What in the world is happening to Peyton Manning? 3 INTs in their 24-17 loss to the Texans. Manning needs to show up against the Raiders or their season will have little hope.
30.
New England Patriots (last week: 28)- Maybe it’s time for Ryan Mallet? Brady struggles again in their 45-3 loss to the Ravens. They look to get back on track against the undefeated Bills.
31.
New Orleans Saints (last week: 30)- Their struggles continue in their loss against the Chiefs 24-12. Things need to change against the Packers.
32.
Cleveland Browns (last week: 32)- The Browns may have found their identity with TO who erupted for 8 catches 187 yards and 2 TDS in their 38-31 loss to the Bills. Get your popcorn ready for Thursday night when TO makes his debut on primetime against the Ravens.
