Welcome back to CausionsCreations weekly NFL Power Rankings. Each week we examine each teams performance from the previous week and rank them 1-32, according to how great the team is and the likelihood that they will end the season winning the Lombardi trophy. A teams ranking will not always be based solely off their win loss record, as there could be circumstances that impact a teams current record, but their ability to improve is taken into account when considering their placement in the power rankings. This week we rank each team and give some thoughts on their placement after week 3.

#32

New York Jets

Poor Zack Wilson looks like he has no chance every chance out there. Sunday was an embarrassment.

Last week #​31

#31

Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars showed some fight in the first half Sunday, and then things got ugly QUICK. #1 pick for a reason.

Last week #​32

#30

New York Giants

The Giants don't do anything well. Not too often you have a team with real stars on it who do nothing well.

Last week #​28

#29

Chicago Bears

Justin Fields was sacked 9 times on Sunday and looked completely out of his depth. The Bears look terrible.

​Last week #​25

#28

Atlanta Falcons

Atlanta has elements of what could be a good team, but beating a bad Giants team doesn't impress anyone.

 Last week #​30

#27

Houston Texans

If Tyrod was not hurt this team would be so much better, because they have some good elements. Shame.

Last week #​27

#26

Philadelphia Eagles

The jury is very much still out on Jalen Hurts, as he shows some good and a lot of inconsistent play.

Last week #21

#25

Indianapolis Colts

Even without Carson Wence, the Colts did put up a fight. They just don't enforce their will on anyone.

Last week #​24

#24

Detroit Lions

The Lions really should've beaten the Ravens on Sunday for their first win, but this franchise is snake bitten.

Last week #​29

#23

New England Patriots

Like every other rookie QB, Mack Jones has struggled and the Pats D is not enough to overcome the mistakes.

Last week #​19

#22

Washington Football Team

The truth is Washington has regressed from last year and they continue to show massive holes on that defense.

Last week #​20

#21

Pittsburgh Steelers

It's time to consider a change at QB, as Big Ben looks like he's at the end of his rope and the O-line sucks.

Last week #8

#20

Miami Dolphins

Jacoby Brissett played well enough to win, but they loss a tough one in OT. This team has an upside.

Last week #22

#19

Seattle Seahawks

Seattle always should be much better than their record is, but the truth is, this team doesn't finish games well.

Last week #14

#18

Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings could very easily be 3-0, and Kirk Cousin is playing some of the best football in the league.

Last week #​23

#17

Cincinnati Bengals

Jamar Chase has emerged as the weapon I knew he would and the Bengals look primed to make some noise.

Last week #​26

#16

San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers played well enough to come back against the Packers, but couldn't stop Rodgers when it counted.

Last week #9

#15

Denver Broncos

3-0 seems like fools gold to me. They have not beaten a winning team yet. Show me against the Ravens.

Last week #​17

#14

Green Bay Packers

The offense looks explosive but I still have so may doubts about that defense. Rodgers was great on Sunday.

Last week #16

#13

New Orleans Saints

After a bad loss in week 2, the Saints went to Foxborough and beat down the Pats. I think this is a good team.

Last week #15

#12

Tennessee Titans

The Titans have bounced back after their tough loss in week one, and look committed to running the ball again.

Last week #13

#11

Los Angeles Chargers

Great win over the division rival Chiefs, but the defense will be shaky all season in big moments. Let's wait.

Last week #18

#10

Carolina Panthers

With injuries to Christian McCaffrey and JC Horn, the 3-0 Panthers may have some tough times ahead.

Last week #​10

#9

Dallas Cowboys

Dallas dominated the Eagles on MNF, but the real story was the play of the defense, who seem to be clicking.

Last week #12

#8

Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs are 1-2 after losing two close games. But there is no way I'm writing them off after 3 games.

Last week #3

#7

Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens could've easily blown out the Lions, but drops eliminated Lamar's best passing performance.

Last week #11

#6

Cleveland Browns

The Browns dominated the Bears and took advantage of Justin Fields all day. They looked absolutely fantastic. 

Last week #7

#5

Buffalo Bills

After a bad loss to the Steelers in week one, The Bills look explosive and impressive. Josh Allen has full control.

Last week #6

#4

Las Vegas Raiders

With three wins over teams who won at least ten games last year, you have to be impressed with Vegas.

Last week #5

#3

Arizona Cardinals

The Cards are one of the most explosive teams in the league and they can score from anywhere on the field.

Last week #​4

#2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Bucs looked rough on defense and they couldn't keep up with he Rams onslaught. Still a top team.

Last week #​1

#1

Los Angeles Rams

You beat the best team in the league, and you deserve to be number 1. Great win for Matthew Stafford.

Last week #2
