Welcome to Week 3 of the Power Rankings. We’ll get into this below, but while we always have a blowout week in the NFL, there’s never been one quite like this. I think the line of demarcation between legitimate title contender and average to below-average team has never been more pronounced. Normally, you’d say there are 8–10 teams with a chance of winning the Super Bowl every year.
At this moment? I’d say there are five or six. The beauty of the somewhat long season is that teams are going to trend upward later in the year, but with Caleb Williams and Drake Maye on the horizon, I wonder how many will care to. There is no value in being mediocre this year unless you are a franchise with a developing quarterback already on the roster whom you want to hang on to regardless.
Is your team one of the good ones? Let’s dive in and find out.
