NFL Power Rankings: Panth...ryce Young

NFL Power Ranking for this week---how is YOUR team doing?

32. Carolina Panthers (0-5, Last Week: 30)

Miles Sanders hasn't put up more than 43 rushing yards in any game since the opener. On Sunday, he had 32 yards on seven carries, and Chuba Hubbard had nine carries. Sanders also lost a fumble. Sanders signed a four-year, $25.4 million deal with the Panthers and it's not looking good.

31. New York Giants (1-4, LW: 28)

It's hard to rank anyone behind the Giants. Any of the bottom three could be the worst team in football. And it won't get better if QB Daniel Jones has to miss any time. Head coach Brian Daboll's challenge the rest of the season is making sure this doesn't turn into a one- or two-win fiasco with the club looking like it has quit. It's already the least competitive team in the NFL.

30. Denver Broncos (1-4, LW: 31)

Denver has the 2023 NBA champions and the 2022 Stanley Cup champions, and just up the road is Deion Sanders and the most-watched college football team of this season. At some point, Broncos fans are going to ditch the habit of watching that team and tune into the more interesting teams in the area. The Broncos are terrible and irrelevant, and head coach Sean Payton's act is not exactly endearing when he's losing, and it's all probably not getting better Thursday night at Kansas City.

29. Chicago Bears (1-4, LW: 32)

Justin Fields is going to make things interesting for the Bears. He has 617 yards and eight touchdowns over the past two weeks. It's hard to imagine the Bears would pass on Caleb Williams if they end up with the top overall draft pick, though Chicago has already experienced the boon from a trade down from the No. 1 pick. At least Fields is making it a conversation.

28. New England Patriots (1-4, LW: 25)

The Patriots have a minus-54 point differential over the past two weeks, which seems impossible for a Bill Belichick-coached team. It's just all terrible for the Patriots right now. The conversation can already start about Belichick's future. He'll be 72 next season. Does he want to be a part of this long-term rebuild? Do the Patriots want to make a change, and if they do, how do you move on from a legend like Belichick without it being utterly messy?

27. Arizona Cardinals (1-4, LW: 27)

The Cardinals aren't the worst team in football, as was expected before the season. But they're still 1-4. And now they don't have an inside track to get the first overall draft pick. Still, rookie head coach Jonathan Gannon instilling a competitive culture, unlike some of the other 1-4 teams, has value moving forward.

26. Tennessee Titans (2-3, LW: 20)

With about eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Titans had fourth-and-1 from the Colts' 5-yard line. That's a conversion Derrick Henry has made many times in his career. This time, he was stuffed for no gain and the Colts went on to win. Henry's yards per carry is a career low 3.8, a half-yard lower than any other average he has posted since 2017, and he's losing snaps to rookie Tyjae Spears. Henry showed in Week 4 he's still capable of big games but it seems like we've entered a different phase of his career.

25. Washington Commanders (2-3, LW: 13)

It felt like Thursday night's loss was the end of the Ron Rivera era, not in a literal sense but practically speaking. The Commanders looked unprepared and the 0-4 Bears wrecked them. New ownership didn't hire Rivera and have no reason to keep him around if the season doesn't get better. At the very least, it seems Rivera is coaching for his job the rest of the season.

24. Las Vegas Raiders (2-3, LW: 29)

Maxx Crosby is ridiculous. The Raiders' defensive end was the best player on the field Monday night and the biggest difference in Las Vegas' win. He had four tackles for loss, including a sack. He'll be in the Defensive Player of the Year conversation all season.

23. Minnesota Vikings (1-4, LW: 24)

The Vikings were the worst 13-win team ever last season, by plenty of measures. This season, they're clearly the best 1-4 team. That's not even an argument. But 1-4 is a bad place to be in the NFL, and it's starting to feel like an unsatisfying end to the Kirk Cousins era, which has been unsatisfying before this season.

22. New York Jets (2-3, LW: 26)

Breece Hall will have to play well with stacked boxes against defenses much, much better than the 2023 Broncos, but he looked great on Sunday. Hall had 177 yards and his 72-yard touchdown run was the turning point in a win. Hall at least gives the Jets a path to a somewhat competent offense.

21. Houston Texans (2-3, LW: 19)

The two wins shouldn't have changed the expectations for the Texans. It's still a slow build. The progress matters, win or lose, and C.J. Stroud throwing a go-ahead touchdown in the final two minutes is another sign that Houston has the right quarterback. Even in a last-second loss, that's a positive.

20. Green Bay Packers (2-3, LW: 15)

The Packers' opinion of Jordan Love seemed to be on full display Monday night. They did not want him passing the ball unless needed. Even without Aaron Jones, they were happy to keep giving the ball to A.J. Dillon and hoping that would be enough. Offensive line problems contributed to that gameplan, but it was telling when it comes to Love. And Love's three-interception night won't give them more faith.

19. Los Angeles Rams (2-3, LW: 17)

It was good to see Cooper Kupp back and put up a 100-yard game. It wasn't enough against the Eagles, one of the NFL's best teams, but the Rams are going to beat plenty of teams the rest of the season. They're way better than expected.

18. Atlanta Falcons (3-2, LW: 23)

The Falcons' schedule is really soft. The only teams they play the rest of the season that currently have a winning record are Tampa Bay (twice), New Orleans (twice) and Indianapolis. Atlanta can beat bad teams, we have seen that. It's possible the Falcons could fall into 10 wins without beating anyone good.

17. Indianapolis Colts (3-2, LW: 18)

What can you do with Anthony Richardson? He has played in four games and been knocked out of three of them with injuries suffered running the ball. A Week 2 concussion caused him to miss a game and a Week 5 shoulder injury will apparently cost him multiple weeks. He can't reach his ceiling if the running game is taken from him, but the running game is putting him in harm's way too often. When he returns, we'll see how he adjusts how he plays, if at all.

16. Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2, LW: 22)

Rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr. had a game-changing interception in the end zone late in the fourth quarter on Sunday. According to Sam Monson of PFF, Porter has allowed a 0.0 passer rating into his coverage on 86 snaps this season. This is also when we point out that Porter was the pick from the Chase Claypool trade. Good job, Bears.

15. Cincinnati Bengals (2-3, LW: 21)

Sometimes the NFL can be easier than we make it. Having an offensive foundation of "Find Ja'Marr Chase and pass him the ball every down" isn't that bad. Chase turned 19 targets into 15 catches, 192 yards and three touchdowns in a much-needed win. Expect a lot more of that going forward.

14. New Orleans Saints (3-2, LW: 16)

The noise from Sunday will be around the Patriots being terrible, but let's credit the Saints, too. Their defense looked great, Derek Carr was efficient and they generally looked pretty good. You don't win games 34-0 in the NFL just because your opponent is bad.

13. Los Angeles Chargers (2-2, LW: 14)

The Chargers' next game, on Monday night against the Cowboys, is a big game for both teams. The Chargers probably would be better off if Dallas hadn't been embarrassed on Sunday night, but nothing they can do about that. Cowboys at Chargers will be a fun game (probably attended by 90 percent Cowboys fans).

12. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-1, LW: 11)

The Buccaneers host the Lions this weekend, then face a Falcons team that will be in the NFC South mix all season, and in Week 8 play at Buffalo. If you're wondering if the Buccaneers are legit, you should have an answer in three weeks.

11. Cleveland Browns (2-2, LW: 10)

Deshaun Watson's status for this week is still unclear due to his shoulder injury. It seemed clear in Cleveland's last game that the Browns won't win much if Watson is out. Even if Watson hasn't been great, rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson isn't ready. Watson's injury status is huge for Cleveland this week.

10. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-2, LW: 12)

If we eliminate the Texans loss from our minds, the Jaguars are in a good spot. They're one game behind the best teams in the AFC standings. The rest of the AFC South is probably bad, especially with Anthony Richardson's injury. The Jaguars still could end up running away with the division and being in the mix for the No. 1 seed.

9. Baltimore Ravens (3-2, LW: 8)

Odell Beckham Jr. has seven catches for 79 yards in the three games he has played this season. The Ravens paid Beckham $15 million for this season and it looks like they got left holding an empty bag. And they could use him, too; the Ravens' pass-catchers had way too many drops and mistakes in a winnable game against the Steelers.

8. Seattle Seahawks (3-1, LW: 9)

Seattle's next game is at Cincinnati, which is a fun NFC vs. AFC game. There will be elite receivers all over the place. If the Seahawks win that road test, they should start to get more respect. They're probably not winning the NFC West because that's going to the 49ers, but they'd be 4-1 with road wins over the Lions and Bengals. That would be a great start.

7. Dallas Cowboys (3-2, LW: 5)

Here's a hard truth: The Cowboys are very good, and probably going to win 11-12 games. They're also probably not going to win the NFC East, not going to make a deep playoff run and are not a Super Bowl contender. Just like it has been the past couple years. The problem is you don't blow up a double-digit win team and start over. I'm not sure what gets Dallas over the hump.

6. Detroit Lions (4-1, LW: 7)

The Lions have entered the tier of teams that can be without offensive standouts like Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jahmyr Gibbs and it doesn't matter. Also, we're soon going to have to talk about Aidan Hutchinson as a Defensive Player of the Year candidate.

5. Miami Dolphins (4-1, LW: 6)

Not to pour cold water on anything, but the Dolphins' two offensive explosions have come against the Broncos and Giants, two of the worst teams in the NFL. They're fun, fast and very good, but I'm holding off on "Greatest Show on Turf" comparisons until they put up 500 yards on a good defense. Still, it's a great start and Miami is must-watch TV.

4. Buffalo Bills (3-2, LW: 2)

The London trip is tricky, especially against a Jaguars team that is used to it and was there two straight weeks. I still think the Bills are a very good team. But Buffalo can't blow games if it wants the No. 1 seed that would be so important for the Bills. And the losses of linebacker Matt Milano and defensive lineman DaQuan Jones to season-ending injuries is crushing. The defense struggled badly without them in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville.

3. Kansas City Chiefs (4-1, LW: 4)

Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Skyy Moore led the Chiefs' receivers in snaps. They combined for three catches and 23 yards. It still feels like the Chiefs need to figure out the right receiver rotation. Rashee Rice has shown signs of life. Justyn Ross has been up and down in his very few snaps, but maybe he deserves a longer look. Kansas City needs to figure out which receivers should be playing the most.

2. Philadelphia Eagles (5-0, LW: 3)

At some point we probably need to ease up on nitpicking the Eagles for a 5-0 start. They're not blowing everyone out but they're also one of two undefeated teams left. They're 2-2-1 against the spread so they haven't been terrible in playing up to expectations in that market. The Eagles might not be the 2007 Patriots, but you'd think they're much worse than 5-0 given some of the rhetoric. They're fine.

1. San Francisco 49ers (5-0, LW: 1)

The most important story in the NFL this season might be Brock Purdy turning into an asset. He's not just along for the ride. Watch Sunday's game. His processing, anticipation and accuracy are very good, and those skills are probably more important than the ability to throw a ball 80 yards downfield. The 49ers are easily the best team in the NFL right now and Purdy is a big reason for that.

They're 2-2-1 against the spread so they haven't been terrible in playing up to expectations in that market. The Eagles might not be the 2007 Patriots, but you'd think they're much worse than 5-0 given some of the rhetoric. They're fine.

Even though Steelers lead the AFC North and beat the Browns and Ravens they rank the Steelers in 4th place.

Yeah.....I mean,they're winning games but they're not exactly blowing these teams out,like they used to.

Philly has new offensive and defensive coordinators, so it's not surprising they haven't clicked yet.

With KC, I'd say they're missing that game-breaker big-play WR they had with Tyreke.

As for my team, many fans had higher expectations because of last season, which was unrealistic. Looking at the brutal schedule, I thought the Giants would take a little step back, maybe 8 wins, but I didn't expect this disaster. Injuries to the O-Line (which has been shaky since Eli's final years) haven't helped either.

Sucks when your season's over in mid-October.

The Eagles lost!! Chiefs so so with a shitty team, course Dirty Birds win. How about Jags and my sleeper Lions! Mr Football, crown me don't clown me since I am the clown prince of sideline dances.

But what is most important is:
