NFL power rankings: Are the Washington Commanders legit?

The Miami Dolphins (1-3) lost to the Tennessee Titans (1-3) 31-12 and the Detroit Lions (3-1) secured a big 42-29 victory over the Seattle Seahawks (3-1) in a Monday Night Football doubleheader tonight.

Elsewhere in the NFL this week, the Minnesota Vikings (4-0) stayed perfect with a 31-29 victory over the Green Bay Packers (2-2) and the Jacksonville Jaguars (0-4) remained winless with a 24-20 loss to the Houston Texans (3-1).

Following a 26-24 loss to the Atlanta Falcons (2-2), the New Orleans Saints (2-2) suddenly look a lot less intimidating than they did two weeks ago.

The Baltimore Ravens (2-2) made a statement with a 35-10 victory over the Buffalo Bills (3-1) and the Washington Commanders (3-1) look legit after a big 42-14 win over the Arizona Cardinals (1-3).

So, where does that leave us? Here are our latest NFL power rankings going into Week 5 of the 2024 NFL season.
