Here’s this week’s NFL Power Rankings, Week 4 — FineLine Edition:

⸻

1. Philadelphia Eagles (3-0)

The Eagles were down 19 at home against the Rams, and Jalen Hurts blinked about as much as an alligator sunbathing. Philly has now won 19 of 20, and they’ve got a 336-pound DT hitting near 20 mph. That’s not a team, that’s a Marvel villain.

⸻

2. Buffalo Bills (3-0)

Josh Allen is playing football like he’s in a backyard turkey bowl and everyone else forgot cleats. Already up to seven TDs, 869 yards, and still not breaking a sweat. Oh, and the next three opponents are Saints, Pats, and Falcons. That’s basically three bye weeks in a trench coat.

⸻

3. Detroit Lions (2-1)

Statement win alert. The Lions rolled into Baltimore, dropped four rushing TDs, sacked Lamar seven times, and did it all without flinching. Remember all those “Can they survive losing Ben Johnson?” questions? Dead. Buried. Cremated. Dan Campbell’s boys are here.

⸻

4. Los Angeles Chargers (3-0)

Justin Herbert has this team humming, Jim Harbaugh is out-muscling the AFC West already, and they’re 3-0 in the division. Bad news: Najee Harris’ Achilles. Good news: Herbert to Keenan Allen looks like cheat codes on Madden.

⸻

5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-0)

The Bucs are the first team in Super Bowl history to win their first three games on final-minute points. Translation: Baker Mayfield is basically living on Red Bull and chaos. It’s unsustainable… but also must-watch TV.

⸻

6. Green Bay Packers (2-1)

That Cleveland loss? Ugly. Like, “walk of shame at noon on a Sunday” ugly. Jordan Love was harassed, the line fell apart, and the Browns pulled off the upset of the year. Still — the Packers aren’t falling off a cliff. Just don’t make this a habit.

⸻

7. Baltimore Ravens (1-2)

Derrick Henry fumbled again. Lamar Jackson got sacked seven times. The defense couldn’t tackle a tackling dummy. Baltimore fans, we’ve seen this movie before: starts slow, teases greatness, somehow collapses in December.

⸻

8. Washington Commanders (2-1)

Dan Quinn’s bloodied face after Week 3 perfectly sums up Washington: gritty, stubborn, and weirdly fun. Mariota even looked… competent? (Yeah, we’re shocked too.) They’re not contenders, but they’re not pushovers either.

⸻

9. Indianapolis Colts (3-0)

Daniel Jones is leading the NFL in yards per attempt. Let that marinate. Indy’s offense is humming, Taylor looks fresh, and they’ve committed zero turnovers in three games. This isn’t a fluke — it’s a warning.

⸻

10. Los Angeles Rams (2-1)

They had the Eagles in a chokehold… until they didn’t. Two blocked field goals later, poof — gone. Still, Matthew Stafford looks like he found the fountain of youth, and the Rams are quietly dangerous if they can keep him upright.

⸻

11. Kansas City Chiefs (1-2)

Patrick Mahomes is turning Tyquan Thornton into a weapon. If that sentence doesn’t scare you, you don’t understand football. The offense is duct tape, but duct tape works — especially when it’s Mahomes holding it.

⸻

12. San Francisco 49ers (3-0)

Yes, they’re undefeated. No, it doesn’t feel safe. Mac Jones is duct-taping wins together, but losing Nick Bosa is like removing the engine from a Ferrari. This defense is about to get a lot more human.

⸻

13. Seattle Seahawks (2-1)

Sam Darnold, of all people, is cooking. The defense is nasty, special teams are a weapon, and they absolutely clowned the Saints. Two straight clean games. Shhh — Seattle’s good.

⸻

14. Minnesota Vikings (2-1)

Carson Wentz is back from the NFL witness protection program and… looks fine? Against the Bengals, he actually looked more than fine. If the Vikings can survive until McCarthy returns, the NFC North could get real messy.

⸻

15. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-1)

Rodgers is 41 years old, slinging it like he’s 28, and Pittsburgh is 2-1 despite having the NFL’s second-worst rushing attack. Enjoy it while it lasts — Father Time is warming up on the sidelines.

Jacksonville Jaguars (2-1)

Defense forcing mistakes like it’s a group project and they’re the only ones who read the brief. Trevor, anytime you want to join the elite table, we saved you a seat.

17. Denver Broncos (1-2)

Ten penalties, two missed chances late, and Bo Nix air-mailing a would-be dagger. Good team cosplay, bad team results.

18. Chicago Bears (1-2)

Caleb + Ben Johnson finally hit the turbo button. If the deep ball is real, the NFC’s middle class just got a problem.

19. Arizona Cardinals (2-1)

Kyler is fine. Not great, not awful. Just perpetually “15th-best QB alive.” Conner’s loss hurts more than the vibes admit.

20. Cincinnati Bengals (2-1)

Jake Browning threw TDs to both teams. If Cincy has another faceplant like that, the “call someone else” hotline might ring.

21. Carolina Panthers (1-2)

Blanked Atlanta 30-zip and Bryce still looks like two different QBs depending on the logo. The defense, though? Woke up mean.

22. Dallas Cowboys (1-2)

This defense fell apart like a cheap lawn chair. No Parsons, no Lamb, no clue. Dak’s All-22 is pretty; the scoreboard isn’t.

23. Atlanta Falcons (1-2)

Penix got humbled, benched for Cousins, and the run game went witness protection. You can’t “we 💖 explosives” and hand off 10 times.

24. Las Vegas Raiders (1-2)

Geno’s not the problem; the offensive line is. Also hard to feature Ashton Jeanty when every handoff looks like a trust fall.

25. Cleveland Browns (1-2)

Shelby Harris turned a kick into a plot twist. The rookies look legit; the QB situation looks… 2009.

26. New England Patriots (1-2)

Maye flashes, then gifts the other team souvenirs. Vrabel’s outfit leads the league in penalties and facepalms.

27. Houston Texans (0-3)

New coaches, same red-zone allergy. Stroud’s patience is wearing thinner than the pocket he’s standing in.

28. New York Jets (0-3)

Two moral victories, zero real ones. Tyrod’s safe throws kept them close; the pick-six before half kept them doomed.

29. Tennessee Titans (0-3)

Cam Ward is getting sacked like it’s an unpaid internship. Energy low, schedule mean, seat warm.

30. New York Giants (0-3)

Russ benched, Dart era incoming, and Daboll is “evaluating everything.” Start with the red zone, then the mirrors.

31. Miami Dolphins (0-3)

Short throws, long faces. Tua’s turnover-worthy rate is skyrocketing, and the defense is a rumor.

32. New Orleans Saints (0-3)

Three helmets, zero wins, special teams on slapstick mode. At least the uniform content slaps on Instagram.
