Best Team in the NFL?

Week 4 Power Rankings Only three teams remain undefeated after Week 3 (Rams, Dolphins, and Chiefs). There were some surprising results after Week 3, such as the Bills defeated the Vikings. Teams are losing more players to injuries, which will affect how the rest of their season turns out. Here are the power rankings after Week 3 (disregarding the Rams' win over the Vikings on Thursday night): Los Angeles Rams (3-0) Kansas City Chiefs (3-0) Philadelphia Eagles (2-1) Jacksonville Jaguars (2-1) Miami Dolphins (3-0) New Orleans Saints (2-1) Green Bay Packers (1-1-1) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-1) Carolina Panthers (2-1) Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1-1) Minnesota Vikings (1-1-1) New England Patriots (1-2) Washington Redskins (2-1) Denver Broncos (2-1) Baltimore Ravens (2-1) Chicago Bears (2-1) Los Angeles Chargers (1-2) Atlanta Falcons (1-2) Cincinnati Bengals (2-1) Tennessee Titans (2-1) Cleveland Browns (1-1-1) Indianapolis Colts (1-2) New York Giants (1-2) S...

Chargers, Lions, Steelers Tumble

Rusty? A lot of teams looked rusty in Week One... or they might not be as good as expected. There were some surprising outcomes (including a tie), and a lot of teams will look to improve on both sides of the ball on the road to Atlanta.

Here are the power rankings heading into next week: Philadelphia Eagles (1-0) Los Angeles Rams (1-0) Minnesota Vikings (1-0) New England Patriots (1-0) Jacksonville Jaguars (1-0) Green Bay Packers (1-0) Baltimore Ravens (1-0) Kansas City Chiefs (1-0) Carolina Panthers (1-0) Atlanta Falcons (0-1) New Orleans Saints (0-1) Los Angeles Chargers (0-1) Washington Redskins (1-0) New York Giants (0-1) Chicago Bears (0-1) Houston Texans (0-1) Pittsburgh Steelers (0-0-1) New York Jets (1-0) San Francisco 49ers (0-1) Denver Broncos (1-0) Tamp...

The Chiefs' Offense

A Cheetah! The Patrick Mahomes to Tyreek Hill connection did not disappoint on Sunday when the Kansas City Chiefs played the Los Angeles Chargers. When Alex Smith was traded to the Redskins last March, we were not 100% sure what to expect from Mahomes, who had not attempted many passes. Everyone knew about his mobility, arm strength, and risk-taking mentality, but no one knew how this translated on the field. Some of those concerns have definitely been lifted with a 38-20 win in Week 1, with Mahomes orchestrating four touchdown passes. He looked smart, patient, calm, and collected in the pocket. Besides the quarterback, everyone saw why Tyreek Hill is one of the most lethal weapons in the entire league on the offensive side of the ball. Hill scored on a punt return, catch-and-run TD, as well as a running TD. He finished with A LOT of all-purpose yards. Hill's burning speed is something that defenses are simply not prepared for. The Chiefs offense is firing on all cylind...
