We’re approaching the quarter pole of the 2020 NFL season, and the Buffalo Bills look like contenders while the Minnesota Vikings are finished.
J-E-T-S. Just end the season.
The Giants are somehow not the worst team in their own stadium, despite being the second-worst NFL team going.
Dwayne Haskins doesn’t look very promising and the supporting cast is poor. It’s going to be defense and a bunch of punting.
Cincinnati is fighting, but Joe Burrow is going to need about 19 surgeries in the offseason. Man, he’s getting pounded.
The injuries are brutal. The Broncos have a good roster, but the football gods have turned sharply on Denver this year.
Jacksonville is better than most expected, but this is still a bad team on its way to a top-10 pick.
What the hell happened to Carson Wentz? He’s a shell of himself.
This is impossible. Fire Dan Quinn and move on already.
Losing to the Titans at home, despite a 12-point lead in the second half, is perhaps the finishing blow to their hopes in 2020.
Houston has played the Chiefs, Ravens and Steelers. Now, they get the winless Vikings. Can the Texans break through?
The Lions jumped eight spots by simply winning a game against a solid team on the road. This is how bad the bottom of the NFL is right now.
Carolina has shown major fight so far this year and some talent to boot. Not a good team, but a feisty one.
If you don’t love Ryan Fitzpatrick, you don’t love football. Fantastic TV.
Tough loss at home for the Chargers. Carolina is the kind of team Los Angeles needs to beat at home to fight for a playoff spot.
The offense can make some plays, even with a limited Derek Carr. The defense, however, is a mess. The Patriots ran all over the Raiders to the tune of 250 yards.
A loss to Baltimore. Wins over Cincinnati and Washington. This week, a trip to Dallas to face a solid-but-not-great team. Let’s see where the Browns are at.
Let’s say Mike McCarthy isn’t going to fix everything. Also, the defense is a complete tire fire.
Getting the Jets is like landing on Free Parking and getting $75 for just being coherent.
We keep it real in these rankings. Kudos to the Bears for winning, but this is the softest 3-0 in NFL history.
Man, credit the Niners for destroying the Giants despite playing their second team. San Francisco hasn’t been home in two weeks, sustained a litany of injuries and still won by 27 points. That’s talking.
Drew Brees and the defense do not look good. Rough combination for a team with dreams of the Super Bowl.
This was the classic look-past loss for a young team. The Cardinals are good. They have real talent. Kyler Murray is a stud. Unfortunately, they lost at home to an inferior team in a clunker.
The Rams lost to Buffalo, but such an impressive showing to battle back from 28-3 down. Los Angeles isn’t going anywhere in the NFC race.
The Patriots have no front seven or passing weapons. Yet, they’re 2-1 and running for 200+ yards with ease. If they keep the score close, the Pats will be a problem most weeks.
Tennessee has beaten the Broncos, Jaguars and Vikings ( a combined 1-8) by six points. Not sure if that’s indicative of a future issue, but the Titans are undefeated.
After stumbling out of the gate, Tom Brady and the Buccaneers have the look of an outfit with ample weapons and a terrific defense. They’ll be fine.
Josh Allen is playing great, the defense will come around and the coaching is superb. Buffalo looks the part of a potential contender in the AFC.
Want to see more from the Steelers. Look, 3-0 is 3-0, but the defense is inconsistent and Ben Roethlisberger has been middling so far. There’s more here.
The Seahawks rank one spot better because they can’t be dropped for a good win over Dallas, but the Packers have the most complete team in the NFC right now.
Russell Wilson looks absolutely ridiculous. The defense is completely MIA, which is a major concern, but the offense can score with anybody.
Not dropping Baltimore. The Ravens lost to the best team in football. Lamar Jackson looked terrible, and the defense got beat bad, but Baltimore is a great squad.
The best team in football. Patrick Mahomes is absurd. Andy Reid is a wizard. The defense is underrated. It’s an incredible, incredible group.
