NFL Power Rankings 7.jpg

 It’s the  Quarter Mark Of The NFL  Season. We Seen Studied And Overrated To Some Of The NFL’s Best, Worst And The In-Between. The Power ranking Picture is Beginning To become A lot clearer. The NFL Charge Up Out of the Curtains of the New Normal And Its Been Business As Usual, Except when It wasn’t In Week one.  As Most would Have Expected It the Bucs And Rams Are Good The Lions And Jags Are Bad. In Between Those two Polar Points Is a Middle ground of teams Shuffling in And Out of The Top Ten And The Middle Teens. Then There Are the Teams Playing Unexpectedly Good But No Can Quite mark Where They Belong. Also, Possibly an Imposter Wearing Old Rags Amongst The Top 10.

 

 

 

1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-1)

It Took Brady And The Bucs The full For Quarter To Put Away the Patriots And Place Him Himself In The History Books Having Now Defeated Every Team. The Buccaneers Were Exposed In Some Effect Against The Rams In Week 3.  The Secondary Missed assignments on Assignment In The Backfield, Opening Up  Too Many Questions About The Quality Of The Playing At That End. The Pass Rush failed To Deliver Consistent Pressure  To Matthew Stafford Hip, And It Remains a  Concerning Portion Of The Team That rank  Near The Bottom third of The League In Defense And Pressure. Another Rush, The Run Game Has Been Basically Non-Exsiatent, miraculously 44-year-old Quarterback Tom Brady Lead The Team In Rushing yard With 14 yards  In week Three.  So what About This Team Has Me Convinced They Should remain Number 1? The Bucs Do Well What Most Team With A All-Time Great Do Well They Lean On Him. So far Brady Passing Game has Him Near Exclusive air. Second In Passing Yards And Tops Inn Deep Pass Accuracy And Passer Rating. He Dropped back for 55 times Against the ram And connected On  41 Of Those Attempts TFor 483 Plus Yards. The Bucs were without Antonio Brown and JPP Not Ton Maentio The Bucs Have Two Quality wins Against The Falcons And Cowboys Not To Mention The Signing Of Richard Sherman to Address The weakness On The Back end.

2 Arizona Cardinals (4-0)

Alone as Undefeated But Not Alone At the Top Just yet. The Air Raid offense Took Three years But The Kliff Kingsbury’s quoted “Innovation” Is Finally Initializing And The Results Are Best Exemplified on Kyler Murray’s  Spreadsheet. The offensive Player Of The year Candidate is One Of Three Players To Pass One Thousand Plus Yards in the Three games. The Oklahoma Product is top Five In QBR(70.1) And Passer Rating(113.4) and Completion Percentage(76.5%). The Air Raid Has been At The Crux Of Arizona’s Criticism Since Kingbury’s Brought The Concept Over From Texas tech. This Season Kingsbury May Finally Have The Weapons For The 10 personnel (one back, zero tight ends, four wide receivers) and empty sets. The Four Primary Receivers Deandre Hopkins, A.J. Green, Christian Kirk, and Rondale Moore Are  All Rated Above Average With Kirk Sporting A Ridiculous 90% Rating Amongst Receivers. He, Kirk, And AJ Green Are coming off Of One Of The Best Games Of The Season, Kirk recorded  7 Catches For 104 Yards, At 14.9 Yards Per Play; A.J. Green, 4 Catches 93 Yards, 23 Yards Per Play. In Terms Of Stout defenses, You will find Few teams As A Afflicted With Prmieere Pass rushers Like Cardinal Chandler Jones Who Is 90 Plus On the edge He already Has 14 total pressures, Three Sacks, five hits, and Three Hurries. He is Not Along with co-star J.J. Watt Also Coming off An electric Game. With Tennessee, Jacksonville, and And tough win Over Minnesota off the Board The Cardinals Are On the cusp of The true Bulk of Their Season.

 

 

3. . Los Angles Rams (3-1)

There Is No Faulting The Rams Number 1. If You Have Penciled Them In There you Are counted Amongst The Majority That Has Praise Sean Mcvay’s team Through Three. Seeing As the Rams Dismissed the Former Number 1 Tampa Bay Only A week Ago. Before Sunday’s Lost To The Cardinals They Were Undefeated at 3-0, NOw 3-1. Leading MVP Candidate Quarterback With the Number One Passer rating And Nine Touch Downs To One Interception In 3 games. With A Quartet Of Wide recivers No Team they Have faced So Far Has to manage To In case, Including Cooper Kupp who Account For More Than A Third Of Stafford yards And Targets, There Is More Than Enough reasoning to Be High On  The Rams Through One Third. And That’s Without Mentioning The Defense Lead By Aaron Darnold 2 sacks. Third In Offense third in Defense With the 8th, Most Points Allowed. The Rams Face Division foe Arizona And Got Blugeneoed Up Next Is A “Hot” Seattle Team Before A   Stretch When they Face The Lions, Texans, Titans, And Giants  In 4 Games Then A  Face-Off Against rival San Fransisco. The Rams Blasted The Bears in Week one And needed A late Field to dispatch the Colts. Those Two Teams Are A Combined 2-4. Minus the 4-0 Cardinals the Rams Arent Set to Face Another winning Team For Nearly A Month.

 

4. Los Angeles Chargers (3-1)

Down Goes Oakland. With The AFC West Is Proving To Be One Of The Division To watch Thus Far, Aside From The Raiders The Chargers Are Inline To Motion Toward Taking The KC thrown. The Preseason Pursed The Division As A One team To win But After Defeating the Chief in Week Three The Chargers And Second-year Quarterback Justin Herbert Are Proving ready On The Produced The Most Promise But there Are A Few Concerns. At 3-1, The Chargers Prove to Be Ready for Big Play By Beating Division For And the Expected AFC Champs Chiefs. Justin Herbert is Off To A Strong start typo leads the Charger’s Dynamic Offense. With 1178 Yards passing Which Is fifth In The NFL A 70% completion Percentage and A 97.6 Quarterback Rating. He’s getting Protected, above 2.6 Seconds To Throw The Ball According To Pro football focus, That’s  Light year In The Pocket. Comparatively, Tom Brady Get 2.4. Herbert’s  Five Sack on The season Is Mostly A cause of Herbert Holding The Ball Too Long.  Holding Onto A 2:1 Touchdown To Interception Ratio Herbert Is Now On Pace For More Than Five Thousand yards on The Season. And His two Favorite Targets Mike Williams And Keenan Alllen are Both Playing All-Pro. The Secondary And Pass Ruch Haven’t wreak havoc but they Made Opportune Plays. The Bad: The Chargers Offense is Only an Average of 22 Points Per Game On 67 Points Score, In The Division Denver, Is The Closest to that Mark At 76 The Chargers Defense Has Surrender 60 points, a Seven Point differential, By Comparison, The Broncos have On Allowed 26 Points Thus Far. Rookie Corner Back Asanate Samuel Jr. is Making A Name Of himself Early With two Picks, one-off Patrick Mahomes. Samuel Was out Of Position On the Wide open Reivers But Recovered In Time. To secure an Errant Pass. The Defense Ranks 26th In the League. The Chargers Are One Bad Game From being Of Of Of The AFC Race.

 

 

 

5. Buffalo Bills (3-1)      

In the world Of Week One Overaction, the Bills Were Code Red, “Apocalypse Now”. Josh Allen Put Forth A “ Bleak” effort In Primetime Against A Then Surprising Steelers team That Collapse In On His Pocket And His prospects As The One of The Top gunslingers in The Game Were Spiraling Out Of Upstate New York. In-game One, Allen was  30-51, One Touchdown, And 0 Interceptions With a 79.7 Passing rating and a 58.8 Completions Percentage, Not Exactly AFC Runner Up Standards To his Credit. Allen was  Sacked Three Times, And His Rapport With Any of The team’s Receiver Not Named Stefon Diggs Hadn’t Formed Exemplified By a Missed deep pass opportunity to a wide-open Emanuel Saunders. It made Allen Look Callow In the Offense he’s Been Running Four Season Now. He Didn’t  Quite Recover the Following Week With Only 179 Yards in a Blowout win versus the Dolphins On 51.8% completion Percentage but the Defense manage To Force  A “Donut” Of the Dolphins And The Defense Is Ranked 5th given up Only 14 Points Per Game With Nine Sacks And 3 Picks, 50 Hurries and Three Forced fumbles. Allen return to His Peak Power and  Exploded For 358 In a week Versus Washington But He Has Not to Look Confident In The Offense. Its Not Look Pretty So Far For The MVP Runner Up who Just Signed a Massive Contract Extension. The Bills May Be Top 5 for Now Because There are More Question Marks for The teams Beneath them.

6. Cleveland Browns (3-1)

The Cleveland Browns have established multiple tight ends, Power rushing attack And It’s Apparent the Team Will Go As Far As its Stable Of running Backs Can carry it. After A  Week One Collapse Against Kansas City The Dog Pound Has Recovered To Take Two Straight And Mount Themselves Back Atop AFC Contention. 3-0 Instead Of 2-1 Would Be A More Convincing Win-Loss Record But Baker Mayfield Couldn’t Keep it In the Pocket and The Browns Are Implementing A Play Style That Indicates They Are Prepare To win Despite Him. On The Season Mayfield Has 780 Yards Two (2) Touchdowns And  Two(2) Picks, Which Is Marginally Pedestrian League-wide And Outright Porous For A Top 5 team. His Big Time Play rate, Is around Ten Percent Meaning Isn’t Taking gun Slinger Attempts Into the Secondary. His Drop back And Attempts ratio Is Slightly Dipropionate, Not to mention One Of the Bottoms In The League, Meaning Most Of  Mayfield’s Issue In The Pocket Aren’t All On Hos Shoulders. His Offensive Has Surrender 27 Pressures And 7 Sacks in three games. It Doesn’t Help the Team Resume That Both Of Their Wins Are Over Bottom Dwelling teams, Texans and Bears, And That Late Lost To KC Is not Looking So Quality Right Now. What The Browns Are Doing well Offense is running the Ball. Nick Chubb is Top Two In Runs for 10 Or More yards And Ranks forth at His Position According To Pro Football Focus, His Back Field Mate Kareem hunt ranks 2nd And He Is Averaging 5.7 yards, Per Carry. Myles Garrett And The Defense Mauled The Bears In Week Three, And The team is Still Top ten In Points Allowed But the Quarterback play Will Prove Crucial As The Season Marches On.

 

7. Las Vegas Raiders (3-1)

Did You Hear The Broadcasters Remarks  At The end Of The Raider’s Victory Over The Miami Dolphins? “3-0 For The First Time In 19 Years” This Raider’s Iteration is Marking Holy Ground Into  Mostly Uncharted Territory In Recent Years. It’s The Play Of fringe MVP Candidate Derek Carr.  The Raider is Leading One of The Most Competitive Division In football. Carr is Leading the League In Passin yards AT 1204. Week 3 Carr completed 26 of 43 passes for 386 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 31-28 overtime win over the Dolphins. If There Is A Harbingering Mark On Carr’sPlays Thus far Is His completion Percentage When His passing Attempts Eclipses 40, which He’s Finished Twice thus Far At Slightly Above 60% Against The Dolphins and Ravens. The Run Game Is Ranked Bottom but Rb Peyton Barber Racked up 134 yards in Week 3. Overall The team Is 6th in Points Scored And Number 1 in passing. The Defense Can’t be Overlooked In The Teams Success. Eight players Are Rank Above average, And Solomon Thomas Leads The Team With Three Sacks. Can These Raiders Be Trusted? So Far We’ve to Witness  The Blockbusters Of The Fall Whenever The Silver Black Enter The venue But The Movie Is 17 Games Long And We Seen This Thematic before.

 

 

8. Dallas Cowboys(3-1)

Being In Sole Possession of The Top Spot In the NFC East meant That The Cowboys Presence In the Top 10 Was Inevitable.  Dak Is Back And He Is Playing To The Prolific Profile That he Left Us With Before his  Ankle Injury. For All The “Verbosity”  That Is Jerry World Inspires The Cowboy’s Organization Doesn’t D Get The Credit, they Deserve For The Success They’ve Produced Through The NFL Draft. Cee Dee Lamb, Trevon Diggs, Zach Martin, Dak, Zeke, Lawrence, And Smith, And This year's Rounder Micah Parson  Who Is Wide Consider One Of If Not The best Defensive Rookies In The League. After 4 Games Parsons has 12 tackles, 3  sacks, 17  total pressures, two pass deflections, and a tackle for loss. Parsons Is Graded Best As Psss Rusher Where He Can Use His Explosion and Instant To Plug Gaps In The Trenches. . Before The Season Began Parson’s Name was Already favored To be  Engraved Across the Defensive rookie Of The year Award And He’s making Good On Those Proclamations. The Rookie Hs have Been Impressive And So Too Has The Defenses Other Star Trevon Diggs Who Is Leading The Team Ints But you’re Here For Dak And Zeke And Offense. The Cowboys Are The Number 1 Rated Offense, 4th In Points Scored, 2nd In Running. Comeback Player Of The Year Front Runner Dak Is Leading That Charge 1008 With 10 Touchdown To Just 2 Int. The Ru is Expspacially prolific Zeke Career resurgence Is apparent, He Has 342 Yards on The Season But it Back Up And Change Of Pace Guy Tony Pollard With 250, But 6.8 Yards Per carrying Who Appear To be The Most threatening coming out Of The Back Field. The Run Game came Alive Against the Panthers And If The Cowboys Hold. Zeke Had His longest Run Of 47 Yards For The Season And finished With 143 Total. Alone As The Only Winning Team In their Divison, The Cowboys Have A lot to Boost Of This Season.
