NFL Week 4 Power Rankings

2. Broncos (3): Trevor Siemian's 132.1 QB rating Sunday exceeded any figure posted by Peyton Manning in the final 19 games of his career.

3. Vikings (4): This is shaping up as the nastiest defense in the league. Its responsible for scoring 16 points and has 15 sacks and nine takeaways.

4. Eagles (12): All the Carson Wentz talk is justified. But Philly has scored the most points in the league and allowed the fewest. A stunning start.

5. Packers (8): Maybe all this offense needed was some home cooking. And though pass defense was scorched, Clay Matthews was one of four inactive starters.

6. Steelers (1): (Slightly) silver lining -- worst loss of Mike Tomlin era came on road out of conference. (Shinier) silver lining -- Le'Veon Bell returns.

7. Seahawks (11): Russell Wilson has bad right ankle, bad left knee, but may start (behind THAT line) against THAT Jets D-line? Cooler heads, please.

8. Panthers (6): Cam Newton was sacked eight times, picked off on three occasions and didn't complete one pass to Kelvin Benjamin or Devin Funchess.

9. Ravens (13): Can't do better than 3-0. But our enthusiasm is tempered by their opponents' combined 1-8 record and combined winning margin of 13 points.

10. Texans (7): Not hard to imagine John Elway telling Gary Kubiak over a beer last Thursday, "This is why we didn't pay Osweiler $72 million."

11. Falcons (17): Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman may be emerging as the best 1-2 running back tandem in the league (296 yards and 4 TDs Monday night).

11. Cardinals (5): Carson Palmer should send thank you to ex-Bengals teammate Ryan Fitzpatrick for overshadowing his zero-TD, four-INT stinker at Buffalo.

12. Chiefs (15): They scored one TD apiece on offense, defense and special teams Sunday -- good way to stay afloat while Jamaal Charles and Justin Houston mend.

13. Bengals (9): Reasons for optimism -- they finally got the running game going Sunday, and TE Tyler Eifert's return seems imminent.

15. Raiders (18): DE Khalil Mack continues to have an ominously quiet season, but the rest of the defense finally showed up in Sunday's 17-10 victory.

New York Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo talks with New York Giants safety Landon Collins (21) and New York Giants corner back Janoris Jenkins (20) during the fourth quarter against the Washington Redskins at MetLife Stadium.

17. Jets (14): Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a killer pick-six Sunday. He also threw six killer picks. This is why the Jets didn't want to break bank for him.

18. Rams (26): After Week 1 blowout loss, Jeff Fisher should have welcomed some "7-9 b.s." Two impressive wins later, maybe he won't have to settle for 7-9.

19. Cowboys (21): They're successfully resurrecting their winning 2014 formula, controlling the ball nearly 35 minutes per week to shield depleted defense.

20. Lions (20): WR Marvin Jones did his best Calvin Johnson impersonation Sunday (6 catches, 205 yards, 2 TDs), an effort naturally wasted in defeat.

21. Colts (23): They're finally in the win column, but now an unwelcome twist -- Colts will be first team to play in London but not get a bye afterward.

22. Buccaneers (16): A 70-minute weather delay is a good excuse to lose focus, but what was Jameis Winston thinking on final play with game on the line?

23. Redskins (28): Former Florida WR Quinton Dunbar out-Beckham-ed Odell Beckham with his sick one-handed INT Sunday, not to mention nice stab on fake punt.

24. Titans (19): Their young talent continues to be reason for optimism. But it's also why we're witnessing killer turnovers and dumb penalties.

25. Bills (31): Hopefully they bottled whatever they found Sunday with four of next six on road, including two West Coast trips, plus two dates with Patriots.

26. Chargers (22): We love Philip Rivers' fire ... except when it gets him burned for costly fourth-quarter taunting penalties.

27. Dolphins (24): All three of their games have been hard fought -- impressive in defeat (Seahawks, Patriots), but not in victory (Browns).

29. 49ers (25): Amazing fact -- Blaine Gabbert's streak of 12 consecutive games with a TD pass was longest in the NFL entering Sunday. Was.

29. Saints (27): The defense, which forced two Atlanta punts Monday night, is still horribly broken and may have already torpedoed this season.

30. Jaguars (29): Rookie DB Jalen Ramsey already talks trash like an established pro ... if only his winless team could walk the walk.

31. Bears (30): They're getting whipped in the trenches (and just about everywhere else), which must be just driving coach John Fox insane.
