2015-2016 NFL Power Rankings: Week 5

1. Patriots (+0)

Another dominant win for the Patriots over an injured Cowboys team. The Patriots have not faltered against a single opponent thus far.

2. Packers (+0)

Aaron Rodgers is apparently human. He threw two interceptions at home. With that said, he’s a very talented human. The Packer defense picked off Foles all day long and Green Bay is 5-0.

3. Bengals (+0)

What a win for Cincinnati. According to Trey Wingo, the teams down at least 17 points in the fourth quarter had lost 427 straight games. Dalton and the Bengals broke the streak. One of the best games I’ve ever seen. Bravo.

4. Cardinals (+0)

Back to the Arizona way, Palmer and the Cardinals destroyed Detroit on both sides of the ball.

5. Seahawks (+6)

They blew a 17-point lead, something you cannot do, but Seattle finally looked like the Super Bowl contender we were missing the last four weeks. It was a painful loss I’m sure, but Seattle fans should have hope after this game. They looked competitive.

6. Falcons (+0)

Matt Ryan struggled, committing three turnovers on the day, but Devonta Freeman had a huge day for the third straight week. It was a narrow win, but the Falcons have had three comeback wins on the season.

7. Vikings (+0)

Bye. They narrowly lost to Denver and now they face a Chiefs team that’s trending down.

8. Broncos (-3)

The dynamite offense that once was is completely gone. Peyton is 13th in passing yards and has thrown six touchdowns and seven interceptions. The Broncos offense didn’t score a touchdown against the Raiders. If the struggles on offense continue, Denver will find itself outside the top ten, even if they do have the best defense in the league.

9. Jets (+0)

Bye. Washington comes to New York. Let’s see if they continue their return to form.

10. Rams (+3)

The Rams probably aren’t a top-ten team right now, but there’s no one else that deserves this spot. The Rams flustered Aaron Rodgers on Sunday and Todd Gurley looks like he was worth the pick thus far.

11. Bills (-1)

No Sammy Watkins, no LeSean McCoy, no Karlos Williams. There’s little offense to be had in Buffalo right now and until one of those guys comes back, it’s going to be a tough stretch for Tyrod Taylor, who injured his knee in the Bills’ last game.

12. Panthers (+0)

Bye. They’ve played four mediocre opponents to make it to 4-0. Now they play a real contender, the Seattle Seahawks. Let’s see how real they are.

13. Steelers (+2)

Huge win on the road against the Chargers. Le’Veon Bell is holding the team together and after three horrid quarters, Mike Vick played football. Antonio Brown, meanwhile, is being ignored and that’s got to change. The defense is looking leagues better than anyone could have predicted.

14. Giants (+0)

They barely beat the 49ers, but again, this is a case of not seeing anyone on this list that deserves to be above them.

15. Chiefs (-7)

I want to believe in Kansas City but they failed to upset Green Bay, Denver or Cincinnati and I feel they needed to win one of those games. Losing to Chicago at home, as well as the loss of their best offensive weapon, Jamaal Charles, leaves Kansas City downtrodden.

16. Raiders (+4)

What a day for the Raiders. I don’t know how they do it and I’m hesitant to give them too much credit but they lost 16-10 to Denver. That, plain and simple, is stunning. Oakland looks like a real team right now.

17. Browns (+6)

Last week, I asked where Johnny Manziel was. Josh McCown went nuts this week in response, throwing for 457 yards and two touchdowns against the Ravens. I’m still asking where’s Johnny, but McCown was great on Sunday.

18. Cowboys (-1)

Dallas is losing pieces weekly. Bryant, Romo and Dunbar. The Cowboys have already announced they’re benching Brandon Weeden in favor of Matt Cassel and they’re considering a change at running back as well. I think they could come to regret both of these decisions. They’re being hasty.

19. Redskins (+5)

A comeback win against Philly and a narrow loss against Atlanta. The Redskins are trending upward. However, they’re benching a top-ten running back in Alfred Morris in exchange for Matt Jones, who had one good game. They need to get over themselves and start putting their best players on the field.

20. Chargers (-4)

San Diego’s injuries continue to pile up. Their offensive line is a bunch of new guys who’ve never played together before, leaving Melvin Gordon with little space to run and Rivers with little time to throw. Great teams find a way to beat adversity and the Chargers aren’t doing it.

21. Ravens (-3)

The Baltimore Ravens continue to fall. The defense that looked so good against Denver week one has disappeared. They just got shredded by Josh McCown. Baltimore is in the cellar of the AFC North for the first time in a long time.

22. Colts (+0)

I give props to Matt Hasselbeck for leading the Colts to victory. For an athlete his age to perform the way he did, it’s admirable. With that said, the Colts still suck and no matter who starts, they’re going to get crushed against New England.

23. Eagles (+2)

They beat the Saints. Big whoop. I want to see them execute against an average team before I move them out of the bottom of the barrel.

24. Texans (-5)

Houston’s struggles continue. The Texans used to have a top-ten defense. I have no clue where that defense went. Foster isn’t healthy yet and the quarterback roulette continues.

25. Titans (+4)

They were so close to beating a depleted Bills team before they choked away the lead again. They’ve blown leads in two straight games.

26. Jaguars (+2)

A high-scoring affair led to a narrow loss to Tampa Bay but Allen Hurns is a top receiver right now and Blake Bortles looks serviceable.

27. Dolphins (+0)

Bye. Let’s see how much a team can change after two weeks.

28. Bears (+4)

Jay Cutler and the Bears have stepped up in back-to-back weeks. They deserve some credit.

29. Buccaneers (+1)

A high-scoring win for Tampa Bay against Jacksonville. I guess you’ve got to start somewhere.

30. 49ers (+1)

A narrow loss to the Giants gets San Fran a point.

31. Saints (-5)

Saints looked like a team with Brees last week, but not this week. They just lost to a decrepit Philly team.

32. Lions (-11)

And finally, the Detroit Lions. I held them off from the bottom for as long as I could, but they’re giving me nothing to work with. They just got crushed by Arizona. They’ve given up on the run, again, and Stafford is left throwing the ball way too many times, again. They continue to make the same stupid mistakes.

Biggest Climb: Seahawks, Browns (+6)

Biggest Fall: Lions (-11)

2015-2016 NFL Power Rankings: Week 4

1. Patriots (+0)

I’m not moving people during their bye week, so the Patriots stay at number one for the fourth straight week.

2. Packers (+0)

The Packers remain at number two, although they should have blown out San Francisco. Instead, they won by two touchdowns.

3. Bengals (+1)

The Bengals have blown me away this year. I really expected a fall from grace but they’ve clearly climbed from last year to become one of the best teams in the league.

4. Cardinals (-1)

Unsure what happened to the Cardinals last week, falling to the Rams at home.

5. Broncos (+0)

The Broncos continue to narrowly escape defeat but Kubiak has got to get the wheels turning on offense. Peyton’s struggles continue.

6. Falcons (+3)

Another huge win by Atlanta, one of the biggest surprises in the NFL. Call it the #QuinnEffect.

7. Vikings (+3)

They lost to Denver by three in Mile High. That deserves serious props.

8. Chiefs (+0)

Another loss to a great team. They need to win against one of these big opponents if they want to remain in the top ten.

9. Jets (+2)

After a suspect loss to the Eagles, the Jets got back on track against the Dolphins. Chris Ivory’s return played a huge part, grabbing the top spot in my top five this week.

10. Bills (-3)

The Bills are very inconsistent this year. They play great one week and are nowhere to be found the next.

11. Seahawks (-5)

Seattle’s offense is limp without Lynch. I don’t know how much longer the team can hold on. They’ve got to start producing. The defense cannot win this team games against real competition alone.

12. Panthers (+3)

Carolina might be undefeated, but they’ve played weak teams each and every week: Jaguars, Saints, Texans and  Buccaneers. Let’s see how the team does against middle-tier teams.

13. Rams (+4)

Huge win over Seattle, garbage loss against Redskins. Weak loss against Pittsburgh, upset over Arizona. St. Louis needs to show some consistency. I have no idea how good or bad this team is.

14. Giants (+4)

Big win over Buffalo. Eli was number two on my top five performances of the week.

15. Steelers (-1)

Josh Scobee, along with some questionable fourth down calls, caused the Steelers to lose a game they had no right losing.

16. Chargers (-4)

San Diego continues to fall. They beat Cleveland by three and Melvin Gordon has still failed to burst out. I benched him in fantasy this week. Chargers traded up for him and need to make him a bigger part of the offense.

17. Cowboys (-4)

The best offensive line in football is there and isn’t being utilized correctly. Run the ball, Dallas. Losing to New Orleans is embarrassing.

18. Ravens (-2)

They might have won their first game and avoided an 0-4 slate, but they had no right winning this game and they know it.

19. Texans (+0)

Where is the Houston defense? They got crushed by Atlanta and continue to falter without a healthy Foster.

20. Raiders (+2)

They lost to Chicago, but still look respectable, which is saying something.

21. Lions (-1)

They lost to Seattle thanks to a missed call, but still look dreadful on both sides of the ball.

22. Colts (-1)

No Andrew Luck means a team without an offense. Or does it? Hasselbeck looks better than Luck did. I still maintain Luck’s hurt. A quarterback as good as Andrew Luck doesn’t tank that fast. I’m pretty sure he was playing hurt. Team still has no running game because, as I’ve maintained for years, the scheme is the problem, not the players. Adrian Peterson would struggle to run the ball in Indianapolis. The offensive line is trash, as I expected as well. Colts defense is weak, as I expected. I still don’t know how people were picking the Colts to make it to the Super Bowl.

23. Browns (+0)

A narrow loss against San Diego. Where’s Johnny?

24. Redskins (+0)

A comeback win over Philly isn’t all that impressive.

25. Eagles (+0)

Philly is so bad this year. So bad. Chip Kelly should be fired by the end of the year.

26. Saints (+2)

They beat Dallas and Drew Brees looked healthy again.

27. Dolphins (-1)

The train keeps going downhill in Miami. Luckily, they have two weeks to figure it out with their bye week.

28. Jaguars (+2)

They hung with Indianapolis and that’s something, even if the AFC South is the weakest division in football right now.

29. Titans (+0)

Bye. I’m interested to see how they bounce back after a huge blown lead against Indianapolis.

30. Buccaneers (-3)

Too early to call Jameis Winston a bust, but the struggle is real. Mike Evans is having a sophomore slump and the defensive ineptitude continues.

31. 49ers (+0)

San Francisco is having the down year we all expected.

32. Bears (+0)

They beat the Raiders but they’ll have to do more than that to get off the ground.

Biggest Climb: Giants, Rams (+4)

Biggest Drop: Seahawks (-5)

2015-2016 NFL Power Rankings: Week 2

1. Patriots (+0)

Tom Brady had one of this week’s top passing performances against the Bills’ defense, going 38/59 for 466 yards and three touchdowns. Dion Lewis has become a target out of the backfield and the defense sacked Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor eight times.

2. Packers (+0)

A 27-17 win over the Seahawks secures the Packers’ number two spot.

3. Cardinals (+3)

No Andre Ellington? No problem. Chris Johnson ran for 72 yards, rookie David Johnson made an impact, Carson Palmer is a top-five quarterback right now after going 17/24 for 185 yards and four touchdowns and Larry Fitzgerald just caught three touchdown passes. The Cardinals put up 48 points on the Bears.

4. Seahawks (-1)

Marshawn Lynch struggled again, this time against a team known for being blasted on the ground. Lynch had 41 yards on 15 carries. The Seahawks in the playoffs is a certainty but they’ve got to get Lynch going or this team’s chances at a playoff run are slim.

5. Broncos (-1)

Peyton Manning finally looked himself on Thursday night, throwing three touchdown passes and the defense held, but C.J. Anderson is nowhere to be found, as I expected. The question is, how long does it take Kubiak to make Ronnie Hillman the starter.

6. Jets (+5)

The New York Jets, one of the worst teams last year, are now in the top ten after an impressive win over the Indianapolis Colts and one of the league’s best quarterbacks, Andrew Luck. The offense should have scored more points on the lost Colts then they did, but they did their part.

7. Bills (+2)

The Bills battled it out with the Patriots and scored 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to make it close before Taylor’s third interception sealed the game. However, the Bills demonstrated if their defense struggles, their offense can keep them in the game. LeSean McCoy had 89 yards, showing some production against a top-ten defense.

8. Chiefs (+4)

A tough loss on Thursday to the Broncos, the Chiefs hung in there to the very end and against one of the best defenses in the league no less. The worries I have about the offense, at least in these first two weeks, seem to be ill-founded.

9. Bengals (+13)

I hate moving any team up this much in one week, but I’ve looked at the results and see no team that should surpass the Bengals outside of my top eight. A dominant win over the Raiders followed by a win against the Chargers at home is a good way to start the season and Andy Dalton looks competent.

10. Chargers (-5)

They lost to Cincy in a close one. Giovanni Bernard torched the defense and Dalton threw for three touchdowns, so that’s a concern but I still believe in this team’s offense. 3 AFC East and 3 AFC East teams in the top ten this week.

11. Cowboys (-1)

The loss of Tony Romo is huge and I expect the Cowboys to fall much farther after this week’s contest with the Falcons. I’m hesitant to give too much credit to the defense for their performance against the Eagles, who seemed to be shooting themselves in the foot all night.

12. Vikings (+3)

The Vikings got it done against the Lions, who are faltering the way I expected them to. Adrian Peterson looked more himself on Sunday. He was the league’s top rusher last week, carrying the rock 29 times for 134 yards. The Vikings defense was fine, causing fits for Stafford, who had to throw the ball 53 times.

13. Steelers (+2)

I’m tough on my hometown team and I acknowledge that the win came against one of the weakest teams in the league, but they looked unstoppable on Sunday against San Francisco. They bottled Carlos Hyde, didn’t allow any big plays and sacked Kaepernick five times. Next week, Le’Veon Bell is back from his suspension and DeAngelo Williams, who has looked very good, will be a backup. That should make for quite a tandem.

14. Falcons (+6)

No one can cover Julio Jones right now. Antonio Brown and Julio Jones are currently the top two receivers in the league and in fantasy. I have both in one of my fantasy leagues, so I’m a happy camper. Matt Ryan is Matt Ryan, but the real story is the emergence of the Falcons’ defense. Quinn’s made big chances to this squad and I look for that to continue against a crippled Cowboys team.

15. Ravens (-7)

Out of the top ten and falling, Baltimore needs a win, but I’m unsure if they get it against Cincy or Pittsburgh, their next two opponents. A defense that made Peyton look like a novice struggled with Derek Carr. That’s embarrassing.

16. Rams (-9)

One week after beating the NFC champions in a high-scoring game, the St. Louis Rams offensive and defensive units disappear against the lowly Redskins and lose handedly 24-10. The offense was nowhere to be found and neither was the ferocious defensive squad that throttled Lynch. My worries about the Rams are a reality.

17. Colts (-4)

As I mentioned in my preview, the Colts lost their entire defensive front. They still have no running game and the offensive line isn’t blocking for Luck. Indianapolis turned the ball over five times on Monday night. That’s unacceptable. The only good news for the Colts is that no one in the AFC South looks any better.

18. Panthers (+6)

They haven’t battled anyone a decent team yet. Their wins have come against Jacksonville and Foster-less Texans squad. Next up on their schedule are the Saints and Buccaneers. This team, despite their limited offense, could go 4-0 to start the season.

19. Lions (+0)

When your quarterback throws the ball 53 times, chances are you’re not going to win. The Lions running attack? A combined 16 carries for 38 yards. Depth like that won’t lead to wins, but for now, the Lions stay at 19.

20. Browns (+3)

A 28-14 win over the Titans brings the Mariota bandwagon to a stop. The Browns had three takeaways and Manziel did what was required of him. The Browns are reportedly starting McCown this Sunday against the Raiders. This game will show us where the Browns are really at.

21. Dolphins (-4)

There’s no reason the Dolphins should have come anywhere close to losing in Week 1 against the Redskins and there’s no reason they should have come close to losing to Jacksonville. Not only did they come close, they did. Allen Robinson burned the Fins multiple times and when you’re getting scorched by Blake Bortles, you’ve got problems. The Suh signing is looking like a poor one, as he’s done nothing thus far. It’s not going to get any easier with the Bills coming to town.

22. Texans (-4)

Ryan Mallett threw 58 times against Carolina. No quarterback should be approaching 50 pass attempts in a game let alone 60. The Texans need to find their running game. Their defense has been a big disappointment for me thus far.

23. Giants (-2)

The Giants managed to choke again. With the Redskins coming up next, is it possibly they do it a third time?

24. Redskins (+4)

The defense has given up 27 points in two games against the Dolphins and Rams. For the Skins, that’s pretty good. Cousins was 23/27 for 203 yards and a touchdown.

25. Eagles (-11)

This team looks awful on every level. Sam Bradford has no help, DeMarco Murray had more carries than yards last game and the defense is on the field the whole game because of Kelly’s insistence on an up-tempo style. Embarrassing. The Cowboys’ loss of Romo and Bryant has left the door to the division crown wide open for Philly, but I don’t see them jumping through it any time soon. They face the Jets so good luck with that.

26. Buccaneers (+5)

The Bucs broke their losing streak to the Saints. Not much else to report here.

27. 49ers (+0)

Obliterated by the Steelers. Was definitely a wake up call for San Fran.

28. Raiders (+4)

Big win over the Raiders and a bigger day for Derek Carr. Let’s see how they do against the Browns secondary.

29. Jaguars (+1)

Narrow win over the Dolphins but a win’s a win.

30. Titans (-1)

Mariota played great against a terrible defense Week 1. He had to play a great secondary in Cleveland and was thrown off guard.

31. Saints (-6)

Brees might miss time and if he doesn’t, hasn’t looked himself. Mark Ingram last week had 53 yards.

32. Bears (-6)

The new cellar dwellers should get comfortable. The defense is nowhere to be found and Jay Cutler is still a joke. However, Bears fans will wish they had him when Jimmy Clausen steps on the field against the legion of boom. This game might be aired on Comedy Central.

Biggest Climb: Bengals (+13)

Biggest Drop: Eagles (-11)

2015-2016 NFL Power Rankings: Week 1

Week 1 was a blast and a long time coming. Now it’s time to see how the tables have turned. The numbers after team names are how they’ve progressed from last week’s rankings.

1. Patriots (+4)

Of all the teams in my top five, the Patriots were the only team that had a dominant win on all fronts. The offense was impressive, with Brady having one of the best performances of the week and Gronk proving he’s surpassed Jimmy Graham as the league’s best tight end. The defense needs to do better against the run. They got run over by DeAngelo Williams, one of four backs to eclipse 100 yards this week.

2. Packers (+0)

The Packers maintain the number two spot after an expected win over Chicago. Rodgers had a quiet day, going 18/23 for 189 yards and 3 touchdowns, but sometimes quiet is good. The defense struggled, giving up 23 points to a struggling Bears squad and got scorched by Forte, who had 24 carries for 141 yards.

3. Seahawks (-2)

The only thing that can go wrong for Seattle is the offensive line struggles and that’s what we saw on Sunday. The Rams got six sacks on Wilson and bottled Lynch. Wilson can’t be expected to throw 41 times a game. Seahawks look like they’re in the middle of a loss of identity. The defense giving up 34 points to Nick Foles and Benny Cunningham is inexcusable.

4. Broncos (-1)

The Broncos defense looked incredible on Sunday, holding the Ravens to 173 total yards. However, Manning struggled and the electric Broncos offense was held to 219. If I’m a Broncos fan, I would be a little concerned since Manning hasn’t looked himself for quite a while now.

5. Chargers (+2)

Trailing 21-3 in the second quarter, Rivers earned his new contract, completing 35/42 for 404 yards and two touchdowns. Melvin Gordon’s limited action is partly due to the Chargers having to come from behind.

6. Cardinals (+0)

A solid win for the Cardinals. Carson Palmer had one of the week’s strongest fantasy performances, completing 19/32 for 307 yards and three touchdowns. Ellington’s injury leaves a hole in the backfield and it will be interesting to see how they adjust.

7. Rams (+10)

What a performance for the Rams. Against the best team in the league, Nick Foles threw for 297 yards and a touchdown and the defense sacked Wilson six times and held Lynch to 73 yards. What more can you ask for? For a team to beat Seattle with a third-string running back, an offensive line that struggled heavily last year and a weak receiving corps, that’s no small accomplishment.

8. Ravens (+0)

The defense played phenomenal against the Broncos but the offense was nowhere to be found. Another week like that on offense and the Ravens will find themselves outside the top ten.

9. Bills(+9)

Tyrod Taylor proved how weak the Colts defense is, going 14 of 19 for 195 yards and a touchdown in his debut. The defense held Luck to a 53.1 completion percentage and Frank Gore to a measly 31 yards. Be warned, however. The Bills run-blocking proved to be awful once again and McCoy struggled behind it.

10. Cowboys (-1)

The Cowboys might have won the game, but that was only because of the Giants’ poor clock management. The Cowboys committed far too many turnovers despite controlling the game and had it not been for an awful pass interference call against the Giants in the end zone, the Cowboys would have had seven fewer points on the board during their final drive. The running game looked fine without Murray.

11. Jets (+1)

The Jets had a little trouble getting out of the gate, but Ivory shined against a Browns defense that struggled against the rush last year. Fitzpatrick threw for 179 and two touchdowns and the defense was great.

12. Chiefs (+2)

Alex Smith had one of the best stat lines of the week: 22/33 for 243 yards, 3 TDs. Not shabby, Smith. Not shabby at all. It was against the Texans defense no less.

13. Colts (-9)

The Colts are worse, yes, you read that right, worse than they were last year. Despite all of the buzz around this team, this team still lost its defensive line last year and still can’t run the ball. What did we see on Sunday? A team with no defensive line and who couldn’t run the ball. If T.Y. Hilton misses time, it’s not looking good for Indianapolis, especially if Luck’s woes continue.

14. Eagles (-4)

I was away from the TV working for my school newspaper but I wish I had gotten to see this game. Through one half, Murray still hadn’t gained a yard. So much for a debut. Instead, Sam Bradford was asked to throw 52 times and as you could guess, threw two interceptions. When your backfield includes DeMarco Murray, Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles, there is no reason that should happen. The defense got destroyed by Tevin Coleman and Julio Jones. Maxwell, who the Eagles are severely overpaying, looked silly.

15. Vikings (-4)

Minnesota might have been the only team not to score a touchdown in week one, but the team didn’t look awful against San Francisco. Granted, they should have won this game but Norv Turner gave the ball to Adrian Peterson ten times. That’s it. Learn to run your offense, Turner. The Vikings D didn’t look bad the first three quarters.

16. Steelers (+0)

The Steelers were what I expected them to be: electric on offense, embarrassing on defense. Gronk was somehow invisible on the field, as the Steelers couldn’t cover him all night.

17. Dolphins (-4)

The Dolphins offense struggled against the Redskins. Let that sink in for a second. Tannehill had his best season last year and if Dolphins fans expect a playoff spot, he and Lamar Miller have got to perform. Mishaps like last Sunday cannot happen. Suh and the defense got shredded by Alfred Morris so keep that in the recesses of your mind.

18. Texans (-3)

The defense was torn limb from limb by Alex Smith and the offense with Brian Hoyer was nothing to be excited about. Rumors are Mallett is starting week 2.

19. Lions (+0)

The Lions lately have choked more than the Cowboys. That’s an impressive feat. Jim Caldwell turned this team around last year but he had a lot more to work with then.

20. Falcons (+4)

The Falcons defense stuffed 2014’s leading rusher, forcing Bradford to throw a ridiculous 52 times. Rookie Tevin Coleman ran for 80 yards, good for 7th-most this week and Julio Jones had the best performance among receivers, catching 9 passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns. If the team’s improved this much in one week, imagine how much Quinn could do over the course of a season.

21. Giants (-1)

Probably some of the worst clock management we’ll see this year, the Giants managed to blow a game where the Cowboys gave them every chance to win. Makes me wonder if Coughlin watched the Super Bowl. When you’re on the one, RUN THE BALL.

22. Bengals (+1)

They beat the Raiders. Big deal.

23. Browns (-1)

Hung in there with the Jets for a bit but fell apart in the second half. Run defense still needs work.

24. Panthers (+1)

They beat the Jaguars and the offense, as expected, struggled. Interested to see how Cam does when he has to face better competition.

25. Saints (+1)

Brees and the Saints are in for a tough year.

26. Bears (+1)

Hung in there with the Packers. They could have gone up a solid five spots had they won. Huge day for Forte.

27. 49ers (+2)

Carlos Hyde’s first start led to the best rushing performance of the week. Few passes for Kap. Defense was capable.

28. Redskins (+2)

They hung in there with the Dolphins until the very end and Alfred Morris has proved his reliability time and time again.

29. Titans (+3)

Huge day for Mariota but let’s remember this was against the Bucs.

30. Jaguars (-2)

They’re the Jags. Honestly don’t know what else to say here.

31. Buccaneers (-10)

I had hopes this team could improve from the get-go but based off Sunday’s throttling, I guess I was wrong.

32. Raiders (-1)

Destroyed by Cincinnati. Oakland being Oakland.

Biggest Climb: Rams (+10)

Biggest Drop: Buccaneers (-10)
