Tough to Judge... Except for the Top Two Teams

Image result for matt ryan mad

The top two teams in the league right now are definitely the Los Angeles Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs. Led by their young quarterbacks and solid surrounding pieces, they seem like they have the tools to make a deep run in the playoffs. They are the only two undefeated teams left after the Miami Dolphins were blown out by the New England Patriots 38-7. The most disappointing team in the league so far has to be the Falcons, who should be 3-1 or even 4-0, but are instead 1-3. They have lost three games by one score, and they should have one each of them but could not come through. Part of the reason is their injuries on defense to three Pro Bowl players, but they should still be winning more games. Here are the power rankings going into crucial Week 5 matchups:
  1. Los Angeles Rams (4-0)
  2. Kansas City Chiefs (4-0)
  3. New Orleans Saints (3-1)
  4. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-1)
  5. Cincinnati Bengals (3-1)
  6. Chicago Bears (3-1)
  7. Tennessee Titans (3-1)
  8. Baltimore Ravens (3-1)
  9. Carolina Panthers (2-1)
  10. Green Bay Packers (2-1-1)
  11. New England Patriots (2-2)
  12. Minnesota Vikings (1-2-1)
  13. Los Angeles Chargers (2-2)
  14. Philadelphia Eagles (2-2)
  15. Washington Redskins (2-1)
  16. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-2-1)
  17. Denver Broncos (2-2)
  18. Atlanta Falcons (1-3)
  19. Miami Dolphins (3-1)
  20. Seattle Seahawks (2-2)
  21. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-2)
  22. Dallas Cowboys (2-2)
  23. Cleveland Browns (1-2-1)
  24. New York Giants (1-3)
  25. Detroit Lions (1-3)
  26. Indianapolis Colts (1-3)
  27. Houston Texans (1-3)
  28. San Francisco 49ers (1-3)
  29. Oakland Raiders (1-3)
  30. New York Jets (1-3)
  31. Buffalo Bills (1-3)
  32. Arizona Cardinals (0-4)

Why the Patriots Won Super Bowl 51

Pats Win Over Falcons 34-28 in OT It was a tale of two halves. In the first half, the Patriots could not get anything going on the offensive side of the ball. In the second half, the Falcons could not get anything going. Belichick and Brady pulled off some more magic and won their fifth Super Bowl together. In the second half, it seemed as though the game was getting away from the Atlanta Falcons, and their youth caught up to them. I believe that this game should have definitely been won by the Falcons, but the game slipped away from them. There are many reasons to explain what happened, including the fact that the Falcons did not run the football to milk down the clock in the second half, they turned the ball over when it was not necessary, they did not play as tough and physical on defense and seemed gassed, and even just because Tom Brady and the rest of his offense played a hell of a game. In my opinion, though, the real reason why the Patriots won, is because of t...

Week 14 Power Rankings

Cowboys on a Roll, Panthers Drop Not many people expected the Dallas Cowboys to top the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football during Week 13. The Saints came into the game winning ten straight, while the Cowboys were a "mediocre" team in the midst of a three-game winning streak. The Cowboys won 13-10 and will rise in the week's rankings. In other important games, the Chicago Bears lost a shocker to the New York Giants, Lamar Jackson won his third straight game for the Baltimore Ravens against the Atlanta Falcons, the Houston Texans won their ninth straight game, and the Los Angeles Chargers won a close one against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Carolina Panthers are quickly fading in the wild-card race, and have lost four straight games. Here are my rankings heading into Week 14: Los Angeles Rams (11-1) Kansas City Chiefs (10-2) New Orleans Saints (10-2) Los Angeles Chargers (9-3) New England Patriots (9-3) Houston Texans (9-3) Pittsburgh Steelers (...

Week 7 Power Rankings

Chiefs Suffer First Loss; Ravens Shut Out Titans The New England Patriots were able to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs by three points at home, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers came back to avoid an upset to the 49ers, the Steelers defeated the Bengals, and the Dolphins took down the Bears at the end of overtime. There were some unexpected wins and losses, as well as some close games, in Week 6. The Dallas Cowboys blew out the Jacksonville Jaguars and their top-notch defense, 40-7. It is been hard to figure out which teams are "contenders" and which are "pretenders" this season. It is especially difficult to rank the middle of the pack teams. Here are my power rankings heading into Week 7: Los Angeles Rams (6-0) New Orleans Saints (4-1) Kansas City Chiefs (5-1) New England Patriots (4-2) Los Angeles Chargers (4-2) Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2-1) Minnesota Vikings (3-2-1) Baltimore Ravens (4-2) Cincinnati Bengals (4-2) Carolina Panthers (3-2) Green Bay P...
