The NFL season is at the quarter turn and based on the records, you understand why it is so difficult to truly sort out which teams are great and which ones are. Only two teams are still winless at 0-4 and only two teams remain undefeated at 4-0.
There is a ton of movement this week including a brand new No. 1 after the Buffalo Bills beat the Miami Dolphins. Meanwhile, teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots nosedive after ugly losses.
