NFL 2020: Power Rankings Week 4

Modified Nov 08, 2022 11:49 GMT

Las Vegas Raiders v New England Patriots

#16 Dallas Cowboys

After what seemed to be a rough start, the Cowboys are now 1-2. The offense seems to be going well, but the defense needs to be fixed if they want to win some games.

The addition of rookie receiver CeeDee Lamb has dramatically helped the offense alongside Amari Cooper and Ezekiel Elliot. They play the Browns in Week 4, which should be a good test to see whether the team is going in the right or wrong direction.

#15 New Orleans Saints

No one is sure about what's happening in New Orleans. After taking down Tom Brady and the Buccaneers, the Saints have lost two straight games against the Raiders and the Packers.

Although they have lost one of the best receivers in Michael Thomas for a few games, quarterback Drew Brees still has a good supporting cast around him. Considering the big names on the defensive side of the ball, they are struggling. Saints will look to turn it around against the Lions in week 4.

#14 Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders have been surprisingly good so far this season. In what seemed to be a "make or break" season for Derek Carr, the QB has been playing well so far, totaling 784 passing yards with 6 touchdowns and no picks.

Currently sitting at 2-1, is the name change and new stadium giving the team some new found luck? The Raiders have a tough matchup against the Bills coming this week, which will be a game certainly to tune into on your screens.

#13 Los Angeles Rams

The Rams are a solid team, beating what seemed to be a top 5 Cowboys and Eagles defense in the first two weeks. After an incredible comeback, an unfortunate PI call late in the game against the Bills cost them the game and they could have been 3-0 coming into Week 4. They face the 0-3 Giants this week, which shouldn't be a problem for the team at all.

#12 Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears have been nothing but miraculous so far and are somehow 3-0 currently. With QB Mitchell Trubisky being benched for the 'lord and saviour' Nick Foles, the Bears could be a threat in the NFC, assuming Foles continues to play the way he did against the Falcons.

We all know how he saved the Eagles season and won them their first Superbowl. Could it be done again?

#11 Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers were almost defeated by the Texans, hadn't it been for the playcalling by Texans' head coach Bill O'Brien. While they are 3-0, they have yet to play a meaningful team.

They play the Titans this coming Sunday, but could be pushed back to Monday due to some Titans players being tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.

#10 San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers are without Jimmy Garappolo, Nick Bosa, Richard Sherman, and many more of their starters, yet they were able to win 36-9 against the New York Giants.

Not only does it show that the 49ers have some incredible squad depth, but it also shows that the coaching staff was able to adapt to the changes quickly. Hopefully the team can keep this going for a few more games. They face the 0-2-1 Eagles this week.

#9 Arizona Cardinals

Cardinals have recovered after losing at home against the Lions. Kyler Murray and company are still a threat in the NFC West, currently sitting 2nd in the division. The combination of Murray and Hopkins has been an extremely pressing issue for opposing teams so far.
