NFL Power Rankings (Week 4)

1. Indianapolis
Even on an "average" day, Peyton Manning is still quite amazing. We'll see if these injuries catch up to this team.

2. Chicago
I've been a firm believer in Rex Grossman's ability since he was drafted, however I'm still not sure if he'll make it through the entire season.

3. Baltimore
That defense still can play, but I'm curious to see if they can make it out of Denver undefeated.

4. New England
Tom Brady isn't very good, is he?

5. Philadelphia
Imagine what that game would have been like if Brian Westbrook would have played.

6. Seattle
I know Alexander was out, but what the heck was that? This team doesn't have the same mentality they did last year.

7. San Diego
If you want to be among the elite, you have to win the close games on the road. I like Philip Rivers, but imagine what this team would be with Drew Brees.

8. Denver
We'll see what the bye week does for this team as they have a huge test against the Ravens in the national spotlight.

9. Cincinnati
I don't think anyone was happier with the outcome of the Bengals game than me. Well, maybe the Steelers.

10. Atlanta
They certainly know how to beat up on the weaker teams.

11. Dallas
Can you say HUGE game this weekend?

12. Carolina
Starting to improve, but the defense still has me wondering.

13. Jacksonville
What happened to that intensity on defense? This team is capable of playing better than they did on Sunday.

14. New Orleans
I still think this can be a playoff team. This week should be a great way to bounce back from their first loss.

15. Pittsburgh
Big Ben better bring his A game to San Diego this weekend or the Steelers may find themselves in a big hole.

16. New York Jets
Eric Mangini made a mistake, but he still has his team overachieving. They will stay in the picture all season.

17. St. Louis
Well, the Rams looked like the Rams of old. All offense, no defense.

18. Washington
Santana Moss is the key to this team's success.

19. Buffalo
I still haven't quite figured this team out yet. If Lee Evans keeps having big games, McGahee will as well.

20. Minnesota
They need to run the ball if they want to win. They just don't have the fire power to keep up with high powered offenses.

21. New York Giants
This team has way too much talent to be this low. They have a crucial game against Washington this weekend that is a must win.

22. Kansas City
Beating any NFL team 41-0 is no easy task, but we'll see if they can keep that intensity up.

23. Arizona
Matt Leinart will be a good NFL quarterback, just not necessarily right away. All the talent is there, but there is no protection at all.

24. Cleveland
That was a nice comeback Sunday, but they should have played better for 60 minutes against the worst team in the league.

25. Houston
Andre Johnson is really playing well, but there is no running game to speak of.

26. Green Bay
They need Ahman Green. So do the Stunners.

27. Miami
Another team that didn't address their offensive line that is struggling. We may get to see Joey Harrington before this season is over.

28. San Francisco
Well, that definitely wasn't a very well played game Sunday. They won't have any performances like that by the end of the year.

29. Detroit
The offense is clicking and the defense is bad. Rod Marinelli has them in the right direction though.

30. Tampa Bay
Cadillac Williams needs to play like last season for this team to have any shot.

31. Tennessee
Vince Young, welcome to the NFL.

32. Oakland
Well, at least Lamont Jordan played well. However, I'm pretty sure you need more than 68 yards passing to win in this league.
