Where Each Team Stands After Week 3
Another crazy week of NFL action is in the books – the top two teams in the league squared off in Seattle with the result of the game flip-flopping the top spots in the Rankings. Like last week, some of the top dogs lost in shocking fashion making for a major shake-up in teams 3-12.

If there is one thing that is consistent in the NFL – it is that nothing is guaranteed.
With that in mind let’s take a look at where every team stands heading into what is sure to be another scintillating Week 4 on the NFL schedule.
Let’s break down the NFL’s top dogs.
1. Seahawks (2-1) Last Week: 2
Great game on Sunday moves the Hawks back into top spot. Russell Wilson has ice in his veins and the methodical game plan of Seattle was a thing of beauty. It is hard to imagine anyone touching Seattle at home the rest of the way.
2. Broncos (2-1) Last Week: 1
The Broncos took three quarters to get going but once they did, they looked like the best team in the NFL. With Wes Welker back this team looks dangerous – if Demaryius Thomas ever gets healthy – look out.

Denver is still the class of the AFC but now they have some company in the form of….
3. Bengals (3-0) Last Week: 3
The Bengals are one of three undefeated teams in the NFL – they are getting it done with a good all around offense and a stellar defense that hasn’t allowed more than 17 points in a game yet. You know things are going right when Andy Dalton catches a TD!
4. Cardinals (3-0) Last Week: 8
No way would I have imagined the Cards being a top 5 team with an unflattering running game and Drew Stanton at QB! But I’m a believer! Like the Bengals, the Cardinals defense has been insane and Arizona has outscored their opposition 30-0 in the fourth quarter so far this season! Beating the 49ers is no easy task and they did it with relative ease.
5. Eagles (3-0) Last Week: 7
LeSean McCoy had 22 yards on 19 carries Sunday and the Eagles still won – insane! Nick Foles looks like he is in TOTAL control – just wish the defense would tighten up a bit!
6. Chargers (2-1) Last Week: 11
Dominated the Seahawks in Week 2 and went on the road last week and posted the win against a previously unbeaten team – impressive two weeks.

It will be interesting to see how they adapt to the injuries to Danny Woodhead and Ryan Matthews but Head Coach Mike McCoy has his boys playing some incredible ball – both defensively and offensively.
7. Patriots (2-1) Last Week: 6
The Pats move down a spot this week – they barely beat a brutal Raiders squad in Week 2. The O-line is in shambles and Tom Brady is frustrated but the Pats continue to find a way to win.
8. Falcons (2-1) Last Week: 13
Matt Ryan rebounded from a miserable Week 2 and had a game for the ages on Thursday night. Not sure about the inconsistency factor but I am sure that the Falcons put some “Power” in the Power Rankings.
9. Panthers (2-1) Last Week: 4
The Panthers defense looks a whole lot different without Greg Hardy – doesn’t it? Carolina got throttled Sunday night and now faces the prospect of playing without their top three running backs – all injured! The injuries and the unflattering pass catchers may bump Carolina out of the dirty dozen soon – but not quite yet!
10. Ravens (2-1) Last Week: 16
Barely squeaking one out against Cleveland doesn’t often give you a bump in the Rankings but this week it does. Steve Smith looks like a difference maker in the offense – they’ll need Smith without a solid running game.
11. Lions (2-1) Last Week: 17
Terrific win over the Packers Sunday – the defense was solid and the offense got it done despite a rare poor game by Calvin Johnson. Detroit gained a ton of confidence Sunday and could be the 2014 surprise!
[dfads params=’groups=63752&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
12. Steelers (2-1) Last Week: 21
The Steelers beat up on a very good Carolina defense – on the road in Week 13 thanks to 224 yards rushing – 224! This team is a tad difficult to figure out but when going well is mighty impressive.
13. Bears (2-1) Last Week: 15
14. Colts (1-2) Last Week: 12
15. 49ers (1-2) Last Week: 5
16. Packers (1-2) Last Week: 9
17. Saints (1-2) Last Week: 14
18. Texans (2-1) Last Week: 10
19. Jets (1-2) Last Week: 19
20. Cowboys (2-1) Last Week: 24
21. Bills (1-2) Last Week: 18
22. Redskins (1-2) Last Week: 26

24. Chiefs (1-2) Last Week: 28
25. Dolphins (1-2) Last Week: 20
26. Vikings (1-2) Last Week: 22
27. Giants (1-2) Last Week: 31
28. Rams (1-2) Last Week: 27

30. Raiders (0-3) Last Week: 32
31. Jaguars (0-3) Last Week: 30
