NFL Week 3 Power Rankings

1. Denver Broncos (3-0)

2. Seattle Seahawks (3-0)

It took just over two quarters for the Seahawks to go up 31-0 against Jacksonville. How bad was it? Tarvaris Jackson played. (Photo by Steve Dykes/Getty Images)

3. Chicago Bears (3-0)

The Bears forced five Steeler turnovers and returned two for touchdowns. Game over. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)

4. New Orleans Saints (3-0)

Last year, the Saints allowed an NFL-record 7,042 yards; this year, under new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, they’ve allowed just four touchdowns in three games. This team is officially dangerous. (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images)

5. New England Patriots (3-0)

It was a much better showing for New England’s rookie wideouts, as Kenbrell Thompkins had two touchdowns and Aaron Dobson caught a game-high seven passes against Tampa Bay. (Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images)

6. Kansas City Chiefs (3-0)

Wow, what a difference Andy Reid makes. The Chiefs are just the third team since 1980 to start a season 3-0 after winning just two games or fewer the previous year. (Photo by Rich Schultz /Getty Images)

7. Miami Dolphins (3-0)

Miami may have found its quarterback. The Dolphins are 3-0 for the first time since 2002. (Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images)

8. Cincinnati Bengals (2-1)

The Bengals overcame a 16-point deficit to stun Green Bay and became the first team to allow 30 unanswered points in a win since 1999. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)

9. Indianapolis Colts (2-1)

The running game was effective (179 yards), and the defense – which held San Francisco scoreless after the first quarter – was stout. (Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images)

10. Baltimore Ravens (2-1)

Don’t be fooled. The Ravens scored 30 points, but they scored just one offensive touchdown. (Photo by Larry French/Getty Images)

11. San Francisco 49ers (1-2)

In their last two games, the 49ers have almost as many turnovers (seven) as points (10). (Photo by Jed Jacobsohn/Getty Images)

12. Green Bay Packers (1-2)

The Packers have allowed 34 points in both of their losses this season. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)

13. Houston Texans (2-1)

The Texans didn’t score a touchdown and were held scoreless after the first half. Not a good strategy for winning road games, especially against Baltimore. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)

14. Dallas Cowboys (2-1)

DeMarco Murray had 200+ yards and a touchdown against St. Louis – this after running for a franchise-record 253 yards against the Rams in 2011. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)

15. Detroit Lions (2-1)

Joique Bell (132 total yards and a touchdown) proved a capable fill-in for Reggie Bush. (Photo by Greg Fiume/Getty Images)

16. Atlanta Falcons (1-2)

The Falcons have lost three of four dating back to last season. They led by double digits in all three losses. (Photo by Marc Serota/Getty Images)

17. Tennessee Titans (2-1)

Tennessee is yet to turn the ball over this season. (Photo by Frederick Breedon/Getty Images)

18. New York Jets (2-1)

Eight sacks overcame 20 penalties, and Geno Smith can actually throw the deep ball. (Photo by Ron Antonelli/Getty Images)

19. Carolina Panthers (1-2)

The 38-0 win over the Giants was Carolina’s most lopsided shutout in franchise history. (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)

20. St. Louis Rams (1-2)

The Rams mustered just 35 rushing yards against Dallas, and Sam Bradford was sacked six times. Needless to say, the offense struggled. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)

21. Philadelphia Eagles (1-2)

The Eagles welcomed Andy Reid back to Philadelphia by gifting him five turnovers. He was probably gracious. (Photo by Rich Schultz /Getty Images)

22. Arizona Cardinals (1-2)

The Cardinals opened the game with an 11-play, 80-yard touchdown drive against New Orleans. They followed with eight punts, two interceptions and didn’t score again. (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images)

23. Cleveland Browns (1-2)

Jordan Cameron, with four touchdown receptions in three games, is becoming quite the rookie. (Photo by Hannah Foslien/Getty Images)

24. San Diego Chargers (1-2)

Another last-minute loss. (Photo by Frederick Breedon/Getty Images)

25. Buffalo Bills (1-2)

Not a bad day for E.J. Manuel, but this team cannot stop the run. At all. (Photo by Ron Antonelli/Getty Images)

26. Oakland Raiders (1-2)

It actually wasn’t a horrible game for Terrelle Pryor: 300+ total yards, one touchdown and no turnovers. (Photo by Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)

27. Washington Redskins (0-3)

The Redskins (1,464) have allowed the most yards through the first three games of a season since 1966. (Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images)

28. New York Giants (0-3)

The Giants have rushed for just 133 yards through three games; that’s the fifth fewest to start a season since 1970 and the fewest since 2006. The 38-0 loss was also the worst of the Tom Coughlin era. (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)

29. Minnesota Vikings (0-3)

The Vikings picked off a third-string quarterback (Brian Hoyer) three times and still couldn’t come up with a victory. (Photo by Hannah Foslien/Getty Images)

30. Pittsburgh Steelers (0-3)

The offense looked more in sync and actually moved the ball, but if you turn the ball over five times, you ain‘t beatin‘ nobody. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)
