Week 4 NFL Power Rankings: Vikings Look Legit at 3-0

There is no change in the two spots from the Week 3 NFL Power Rankings. The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills won in Week 3, keeping them atop this week’s rankings. Four teams were handed their first losses and fell to 2-1. That sent the Texans, Saints, Chargers, and Buccaneers down a few rungs.

Five teams remain perfect. In addition to the Chiefs and Bills, the Vikings, Steelers, and Seahawks all improved to 3-0. Those five teams occupy the top five spots this week.

On the other end of the spectrum are the Bengals, Jaguars, and Titans. This trio of 0-3 teams sits at the bottom of the Week 4 NFL Power Rankings.

This week, the Rams, Jets, Eagles, and Ravens climbed up the most. The biggest fallers were the Dolphins, Buccaneers, and Patriots.
