NFL Power Rankings, After Week 4 of the 2019 Season
The New England Patriots are a professional American football team based in the Greater Boston region.
New England Patriots are one of the few teams to have 5+ wins in the Super Bowl. They are really good. The Patriots are undefeated. The question is, which team will beat them? I think they are going to wreck the Cowboys unless the Cowboys think carefully.
Jumped out early, then faced their first challenge this year. No team can be expected to maintain such a dominating pace all year, so it was nice to actually see them grind one out.
Next: @ Washington
The Kansas City Chiefs are a professional American football team based in Kansas City, Missouri. The Chiefs compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's American Football Conference West division. Got all they could handle from the Lions but closed them out.
Next: Indianapolis
The New Orleans Saints are a professional American football team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Saints currently compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference South division. Playing very well in Brees' absence, they are playing fundamentally sound football, and it's impressive.
Next: Tampa Bay
The Dallas Cowboys are a professional American football team based in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. The Cowboys compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference East division. I really want them to stay undefeated. I hate the fumbles that they made against the Saints.
No reason to drop the 'Boys too far. Lost a close one to another very good team.
Next: Green Bay
The Chicago Bears are a professional American football team in Chicago, Illinois. The Bears compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference North division. The Monsters of the Midway are back. That defense is flat-out nasty.
Next: @ Oakland
Had the week off. The only reasons I see to not put them in the top 5 are their youth and the lack of a top-tier opponent.
Next: Cleveland
The Los Angeles Rams are a professional American football team based in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Made a number of big mistakes and fell behind 21-0 to the Bucs. This forced them to play more wide-open, a formula that clearly led to the ridiculous final score. Had a chance late, but one more turnover, a scoop and score by none other than former Ram Ndamukong Suh, was the final nail. Still, the Rams have too much talent to let this hiccup keep them off this list, at least for this week.
Next: @ Seattle
The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference North division.
The Packers have won 4 super bowls and 13 NFL championships. Kind of stupid to play a wide-open style game when they had all the evidence they needed to stay the course of sound, fundamental football winning them games. LaFleur took the blame for that in the post-game interview, but we should have known something was up with Rodgers claiming all week that he had to pick up the pace for the offense.
Next: @ Dallas
The Detroit Lions are a professional American football team based in Detroit, Michigan. The Lions compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference North division.
The Detroit Lions are one of the four teams to have never been to a Super Bowl, and also one of the two teams in history to go 0-16. Played very well against the Chiefs, but they are not at that level yet. They are 2-1-1, though, and having watched the game, it was really cool to see the Detroit fans be that excited again. It has been a while. To whomever believes they don't belong here, that's fine. But I see a long-struggling organization coming to life, and I like it.
Next: Bye
The Cleveland Browns are a professional American football team based in Cleveland, Ohio. The Browns compete in the National Football League as a member team of the American Football Conference North division.
The Cleveland Browns are one of the four teams to have never been to a Super Bowl, and one of two teams to go 0-16. Impressive offensive performance against the Ravens on the road. With one fell swoop, they lead the AFC North. Consistency is the next goal for this young, talented team.
Next: @ San Francisco
The Seattle Seahawks are a professional American football franchise based in Seattle, Washington. The Seahawks compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's National Football Conference West division.
The Buffalo Bills are a professional American football team based in the Buffalo–Niagara Falls metropolitan area that competes in the National Football League.
Buffalo Bills had the longest playoff drought of any team which came to an end in 2017.
