Continue reading →: New York Jets: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#19)
Last week: 19 (+0) Record: 1-1 Yeah, how’s that Jets’ offense doing now? After scoring 48 in the opener in a heavily defense and special teams aided effort, the Jets scored just 10 points last week and Mark Sanchez, who was 19 of 27 for 266 yards, 3 touchdowns, and…

Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#20)
Last week: 20 (+0) Record: 1-1 That’s the reason they drafted him #1. After a rough opener against a strong Chicago defense, Luck was incredibly impressive in his 2nd start, passing for 224 yards on 20 of 31, despite minimal help from his supporting cast. Under pressure on 15 of…

Continue reading →: Detroit Lions: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#21)
Last week: 22 (+1) Record: 1-1 I had the Lions much lower than most people to start the season because I thought they were one dimensional, had a bad defense, and a bad running game, and overall thought they were overall too reliant on their passing attack for wins (4…

Continue reading →: Carolina Panthers: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#22)
Last week: 23 (+1) Record: 1-1 The league’s #2 ranked team in terms of yards per play differential: the Carolina Panthers. You can’t tell a ton from that after just 2 games and I still think they’re weak defensively where it matters, on the defensive line and in the secondary,…

Continue reading →: Arizona Cardinals: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#23)
Last week: 23 (+7) Record: 2-0 The Cardinals are one of only 6 undefeated teams left in the NFL, but they’re by far the weakest of the bunch. They’ve been outgained in each of their first 2 games, but won anyway, and have a negative yards per play differential and…

Continue reading →: Seattle Seahawks: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#24)
Last week: 24 (+0) Record: 1-1 I haven’t really moved the Seahawks much, starting them at 25, then moving them to 24, then keeping them at 24 this week. They’re a good team at home and a bad team on the road. Nothing that’s happened with this team has been…

Continue reading →: Tennessee Titans: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#25)
Last week: 11 (-14) Record: 0-2 Before the season, I had the Titans as a playoff team. I thought they had a very strong supporting cast and that Jake Locker would be an upgrade over Matt Hasselbeck, who took this team to 9-7 last year as nothing more than a…

Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#26)
Yards per play differential is my favorite measure of how a team’s played and the Vikings actually rank 5th in that statistic through 2 games, despite sitting at 1-1. Level of competition is obviously a factor, playing Jacksonville and Indianapolis, but Christian Ponder seems to be the only 2nd year…

Continue reading →: Kansas City Chiefs: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings
Last week: 25 (-2) Record: 0-2 Matt Cassel is a limited quarterback, so their best chances of making the playoffs would have been to follow the solid defense, good running game, conservative offense, easy schedule, don’t make mistakes model they made it on in 2010. That doesn’t work so well…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#28)
Last week: 27 (-1) Record: 1-1 Ryan Tannehill is going to have days like he had in the opener (20-36 219 yards, 3 interceptions) and days like he had last week (18-30 200 yards, 1 touchdown). He’s a raw rookie with 19 collegiate starts. He’s going to be inconsistent. I…
