NFL Power Rankings: Week 4

team. 52. The Jags followed up a big win with an embarrassing blowout loss. Gus Bradley needs to find a way to get a more consistent performance out of his team. . (17-51). Previous: 18th. Jacksonville Jaguars. 20

team. 124. Somehow, Alex Smith is still a starting NFL QB. How that can be true is a question I cannot answer. . (28-38). Previous: 16th. Kansas City Chiefs. 19

13. Another poor defensive performance is definitely concerning. The lack of a reliable running game isn’t helping either.. (13-31). Previous: 15th. San Diego Chargers. 18. team

team. 59. It might be time to start a “hot seat watch” for Joe Philbin. There is too much talent on this team for them to continue playing this poorly.. (14-41). Previous: 13th. Miami Dolphins. 17

31. The Giants finally won a game in which they had a big fourth quarter lead. They still gave Washington a chance to come back, but this time they finally finished.. (32-21). Previous: 22nd. New York Giants. 16. team

15. team. 46. Luck continues to be a turnover machine. This time the Colts were fortunate enough to make just enough plays to secure a win.. (35-33). Previous: 21st. Indianapolis Colts

(27-20). Previous: 19th. Oakland Raiders. 14. team. 28. The Raiders continue to surprise. They’ve got a nice group of young talent all over the roster. A lack of depth will hurt them eventually, but so far they’ve played above expectations.

New York Jets. 13. team. 30. The lack of quality play from the QB position finally caught up with the Jets this week. A decision is looming once Geno Smith is finally healthy.. (17-24). Previous: 13th

Pittsburgh Steelers. 12. team. 55. The Steelers picked up the win against the Rams, but it was costly. They will now be without Ben Roethlisberger for at least 4 weeks.. (12-6). Previous: 10th

(28-39). Previous: 8th. Dallas Cowboys. 11. team. 123. Dallas played surprisingly well for the first portion of the game without Romo. It will be interesting to see if that continues.
