This one was pretty easy. In my mind (that probably swirls with an orange and black haze) the Bengals are the best team in the NFL. They have allowed a league low 33 points, they have dominated in their wins and have been behind for less than a minute this entire season. So the Bengals take the top spot, look below for the rest of my rankings.
NFL Team | Wins | Losses | Ties | Rank | Previous Rank | |
Cincinnati Bengals | 3 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | The Bengals first three wins show they are the best three win team in the league. They hold a +47 point differential and only have trailed for 48 seconds the entire season. |
Seattle Seahawks | 2 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 3 | A quality win at home, too bad they don't travel well. |
Philadelphia Eagles | 3 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 5 | The Eagles offense takes a little time to get going, but then they explode in the second half. |
Denver Broncos | 2 | 1 | 0 | 4 | 1 | Denver has not beat a team with a winning record and stumbled against Kansas City. This is a good team that is missing the explosiveness from the offense. |
Arizona Cardinals | 3 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 6 | Could a division with the defending champs and the 49ers run through Arizona? |
Atlanta Falcons | 2 | 1 | 0 | 6 | 11 | When your only loss is to the best team in the league and you win your other games with a huge offensive performance, you stay high in the rankings. |
San Diego Chargers | 2 | 1 | 0 | 7 | 14 | After the bad opener, this team looks like it has built off of last years playoff team. |
Baltimore Ravens | 2 | 1 | 0 | 8 | 8 | Another team who's only loss is to a top team, the loss of Dennis Pitta could hurt this offense. |
Carolina Panthers | 2 | 1 | 0 | 9 | 4 | So much for the stout defense. Pittsburgh had two running backs top 100 yds. |
New England Patriots | 2 | 1 | 0 | 10 | 13 | Brady was hit 15 times against the Raiders. Think he is looking forward to a rested Bengals defense? |
Buffalo Bills | 2 | 1 | 0 | 11 | 10 | Was this an off week for the Bills or is this as true reflection of this team? |
Pittsburgh Steelers | 2 | 1 | 0 | 12 | 24 | The Steelers put together a classic Steelers win. Rely on defense and a strong running game. |
San Francisco 49ers | 1 | 2 | 0 | 13 | 7 | Is the Colin Kaepernick / Andy Dalton debate still happening? |
Detroit Lions | 2 | 1 | 0 | 14 | 19 | This Defense gives up very few yds, the offense needs to be more consistent. |
Houston Texans | 2 | 1 | 0 | 15 | 9 | Losing to the Giants is bad, throwing three interceptions can make the team lose confidence in Ryan Fitzpatrick. |
Chicago Bears | 2 | 1 | 0 | 16 | 18 | Nice win on Monday night, but the injuries are piling up for Chicago. |
Green Bay Packers | 1 | 2 | 0 | 17 | 12 | The NFC north looks to be a dog fight and the Packers are no longer the biggest dog in the ring. |
New Orleans Saints | 1 | 2 | 0 | 18 | 17 | Can a win against the Vikings get this team back on track? |
Indianapolis Colts | 1 | 2 | 0 | 19 | 20 | The Colts started with two of the top teams, a game against Jacksonville was welcome to upright their season. |
Miami Dolphins | 1 | 2 | 0 | 20 | 21 | After such a promising week one, this team has fallen apart and now have questions at the QB position. |
Tennessee Titans | 1 | 2 | 0 | 21 | 16 | Ryan Succop caught a case of the Mike Nugents as Cincinnati just steamrolled an overmatched Titans team. |
Dallas Cowboys | 2 | 1 | 0 | 22 | 29 | How can you be down 21 points to the Rams? Sure, they came back but this is not a great football team. |
New York Jets | 1 | 2 | 0 | 23 | 22 | Is the Geno Smith experiment almost over? The Jets have no one they can rely on to play quarterback. |
Kansas City Chiefs | 1 | 2 | 0 | 24 | 27 | Winning without Jamaal Charles as Knile Davis pick up where the outstanding running back left off. |
Washington Redskins | 1 | 2 | 0 | 25 | 25 | 427 yds and three touchdowns may be the kinds of numbers that end RGIII in Washington. |
Minnesota Vikings | 1 | 2 | 0 | 26 | 23 | Teddy Bridgewater takes the reigns and roars out of the gate for six points... |
New York Giants | 1 | 2 | 0 | 27 | 31 | Rashad Jennings was not going to let this offense fail. Huge effort from him. |
St. Louis Rams | 1 | 2 | 0 | 28 | 26 | This team is trying to just survive the season. Looked good going up 21 against Dallas, but not enough to hold on. |
Cleveland Browns | 1 | 2 | 0 | 29 | 15 | The trick play to Johnny Manziel was just sad. The Browns make good ideas look bad. |
Oakland Raiders | 0 | 3 | 0 | 30 | 30 | Took the Patriots to the wire. That doesn't say much for the Patriots. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 0 | 3 | 0 | 31 | 28 | There are still visions of the Falcons scoring as the Tampa Bay players sleep. |
Jacksonville Jaguars | 0 | 3 | 0 | 32 | 32 | They were down 30-0 at the half before they showed any signs of life. |
