NFL Power Rankings: Week 4 Edition

Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season has concluded, prompting NFL Power Rankings to take center stage. These rankings, considered the most accurate in the universe, evaluate all 32 teams. Let's delve into how the teams stack up.

1. Kansas City Chiefs - Defeated the worst team in the NFL with ease.

2. Buffalo Bills - Josh Allen had three turnovers after zero giveaways in the Bills' first two games, but still scored two touchdowns, leading the league with 11 total.

3. San Francisco 49ers - Brock Purdy has the second-shortest NFL MVP odds as the Niners roll early on.

4. Seattle Seahawks - Defeated the Minnesota Vikings in a game where the Seahawks were outmatched.

5. Baltimore Ravens - Defeated the Dallas Cowboys in regulation, boosting their fourth-ranked points scored.

6. Minnesota Vikings - Under Brian Flores' leadership, the Vikings remain undefeated through three games, with a defense allowing the second-fewest points in the NFL.

7. Chicago Bears - Despite using third-string quarterback Case Keenum, the Bears outcoached Nick Sirianni and defeated the Eagles.

8. Los Angeles Rams - Though not at full strength, the Rams are still expected to be a good team, as they outgained Denver by 225 yards in a loss.

9. Detroit Lions - The Lions' offense can provide a chance to win, but their defense remains a major concern.

10. Cincinnati Bengals - The Bengals' defense showed significant improvement but gave up nearly 300 yards and three touchdowns to 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers.

11. Philadelphia Eagles - The Eagles, with a 20th-ranked point differential and 20th in offensive EPA/play, may need to turn things around as they currently rank poorly in several categories.

12. Dallas Cowboys - Failed to capitalize on victory, with their defense still under scrutiny.

13. Denver Broncos - Secured a win against a tough opponent, staying competitive in the AFC West.

14. Jacksonville Jaguars - Possessing the second-best point differential in the NFL, they're just two points behind the 49ers.

15. Las Vegas Raiders - Exciting to see how they fare against the Chiefs in a potential rematch of two 3-0 teams.

16. New Orleans Saints - Outdone by the Raiders, the Saints seem to be on the rise.

17. New England Patriots - With Drake Maye giving up seven giveaways to one touchdown pass this season, the Patriots' performance has been less than ideal.

18. Pittsburgh Steelers - Individually competent, but not exceptional.

19. New York Giants - Struggling with Jameis Winston's struggles, but credit for not completely collapsing after Jaxson Dart's injury.

20. Indianapolis Colts - After a necessary win to avoid a 0-3 start, the Colts remain in contention.

21. Washington Commanders - With a 0-3 record and the Cowboys next, the Commanders could face an uphill battle.

22. Houston Texans - Currently 0-3, the Texans' next game is against the Cowboys.

23. Green Bay Packers - In need of offensive line help, the Packers' roster moves up front have been concerning.

24. Carolina Panthers - Defeated the Cleveland Browns, a win that isn't deemed very serious.

25. Atlanta Falcons - Michael Penix Jr. adds a winning edge, moving the Falcons from one of the very worst teams to merely bad.

26. Cleveland Browns - If the Browns are tanking, they're not doing it effectively.

27. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - The Bucs' disastrous start to the season warrants interest in whether Jalon Daniels can provide a spark.

28. New York Jets - Despite two consecutive losses, both games were one-score affairs, not indicating total incompetence.

29. Arizona Cardinals - Arizona's remaining schedule is the toughest in the NFL, making their season outlook bleak.

30. Los Angeles Chargers - Only two teams have a worse point differential than the Chargers, making their season outlook uncertain.
