Red was undecided about the title. Should it be Week 3 because that is the week have just finished and rankings are based on those results or Week 4 because that is the week that is coming up. Not that it matters, but the consensus is this is Week 4.

1. Kansas City Chiefs – The Chiefs seem to be living on borrowed time. They are not scoring in the red zone, relying on field goals and where the hell is Mr. Kelce? But as noted until they lose the defending champs hold on to No. 1 spot.
2. Buffalo Bills – The Bills offense is just playing better than any other team in the league right now.
3. Minnesota Vikings – Surprise, surprise, surprise. With apologies to PFC Pyle. And if you don’t get that reference – well good for you. Total domination of the previously undefeated Texans.
4. Seattle Seahawks – Seahawks will be hard pressed to stay undefeated unless the offensive line plays better.
5. Pittsburgh Stealers – Red zone offense is horrible, yet they are 3-0. Red doesn’t argue with success.
6. Philadelphia Eagles – Injuries and turnovers by Mr. Hurts abound. Eagles need to right the ship before division play.
7. Detroit Lions – Another team with red zone troubles. Red senses a trend here.
8. San Francisco 49ers – Injuries to the big playmakers (Deebo, McCaffery and Kittle) are a major cause for worry in Santa Somewhere.
9. New Orleans Saints – Tayson Hill makes this offense very hard to defend against. Saints fans hope for a quick return.
10. Los Angeles Chargers – Without Herbert look for a quick drop in the rankings next week.
11. Green Bay Packers – Red doesn’t believe. But then again who cares what Red thinks?
12. Houston Texans – Last week the Texans were . . . um . . . pummeled . . . yes pummeled is the word Red was looking for. And they get the biggest drop of the week as a reward.
13. Baltimore Ravens – Ravens got a desperately needed win against the sagging Cowboys. They were swirling the drain in the 4th quarter but managed to hang on in what could be a season saver.
14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Lack of rushing yards, not a problem as yet.
15. New York Jets – Beating up on the weak sisters of the league only gets you so far.
16. Washington Commanders – Moving in the right direction. Win over the Cardinals would be big right now.
17. Arizona Cardinals – Trouble on the O line gets the Cards top spot as mediocre team of the week.
18. Los Angeles Rams -Being down your top two wideouts usually spells trouble in this league.
19. Atlanta Falcons – A credible showing against the Chiefs. NFC South looks to be a dog fight between 3 teams right now.
20. Dallas Cowboys – Cowboys defense has been wretched in first 4 games. Barely beating the Giants on Thursday was not a good look.
21. Cleveland Browns – Is Flacco Joe still available? No. Hmmm.
22. Miami Dolphins – Is Flacco Joe still available? See above.
23. Las Vegas Raiders – An unbalanced attack forced by having to continually play from behind spells trouble in the desert.
24. Indianapolis Colts – Should not be this bad. Anthony Richardson needs to step up or step down.
25. Chicago Bears – Untapped potential so far this season.
26. Denver Broncos – Red always manages to end up with a worthless Bronco running back on his fantasy team.
27. New York Giants – Credible effort against a sagging Cowboys squad.
28. Jacksonville Jaguars – “I’ve seen teams suck before, but they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.” H. Simpson. A useful quote likely to be heard again this season.
29. Carolina Panthers – Who needs Flacco Joe when you have the Red Rifle? Very impressive, but can he keep it up?
30. New England Patriots – How the mighty have fallen. Flat on their face apparently.
31. Cincinnati Bengals – On life support right now.
32. Tennessee Titans – Someone pull the plug, please.
