The reigning Super Bowl champions have suffered their first loss. The Broncos’ 23-16 loss to the Falcons opened the door for the Minnesota Vikings to seize the top spot in the power rankings, and they succeeded in another dominant victory, this time dispatching the Texans to head into their bye…
It’s time once again for the power rankings, also known as my weekly guess as to how good the Rams and Bills actually are. These are two of the most puzzling teams at the quarter-mark of the NFL season. The Rams were dead last in my rankings after week 1,…
Since 1995, only 2% of teams that have begun a season 0-3 have gone on to make the playoffs, and that number won’t be going up anytime soon. There are four teams currently winless (the Saints, Jaguars, Bears, and Browns), and I’ve seen enough to stick a fork in all…

Three weeks have gone by so far in this NFL season, and I think it’s safe to say it hasn’t gone as planned. Everyone’s sleeper pick, the Buccaneers, have played horrendously, most recently in a 56-14 loss to the Falcons. Typical playoff teams such as the Saints, Packers,…
