It’s time for News 2’s Cory Curtis to rank teams 1-32. Do you agree with his list?
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Hola amigos! Week four of NFL season is here and the more we learn about each team, the less I feel like I seem to know. The Panthers beat the Raiders? The Giants won? The Bengals forgot how to win?
OK, your Week 4 NFL Power Rankings…
News 2 is your official Tennessee Titans station. Click here for more season-long coverage.
32. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-3) – This is year four for Trevor Lawrence and yes, he got paid, but that comes with responsibility. He can not airmail balls like that in a wide open pocket to a wide open receiver.
31. Tennessee Titans (0-3) – They could actually start winning some games if they stop beating themselves up. Let’s stop blaming the QB or the O-line or the defense for not creating turnovers. Blame all of it. It all has to improve.
30. Carolina Panthers (1-2) – The Red Rifle lives! Let’s not kid ourselves — Andy Dalton does not magically fix this team. He did give a veteran QB play though, so…
29. New York Giants (1-2) – No matter how much the Giants struggle this year, they can be confident in knowing they got their first-round pick right and that’s always a step forward.
28. Las Vegas Raiders (1-2) – They pulled off the impossible. They lost to Carolina and made Andy Dalton look like Joe Montana.
27. New England Patriots (1-2) – I’ll be honest: I should just lump the Giants, Raiders, Patriots all together in just one not-good slot.
26. Cleveland Browns (1-2) – This feels like the beginning of the end doesn’t it? The Deshaun Watson contract was terrible then, and it is now. The question is: how to do they get out of it?
25. Miami Dolphins (1-2) – This is probably generous. They’ve kicked two field goals since Tua went down. If it were fantasy football, at least the 50-yarders would be worth five points. Alas, they are only worth three.
24. Indianapolis Colts (1-2) – Six interceptions and a 49 percent completion rate for Anthony Richardson and we’re howling about Will Levis? That pick in the end zone was a doozy.
23. Chicago Bears (1-2) – How did a team that was second in the NFL for rushing the football last season forget how to do it?
22. Cincinnati Bengals (0-3) – Cory, how is a winless team still 22nd? Good question — because they are still better than the hot garbage behind them.
21. Denver Broncos (1-2) – That was a stunner in Tampa. Good things happen when the rookie QB does not turn it over.
17-20. Cowboys, Cardinals, Rams, Falcons (1-2) – The Rams stole one from the 49ers, but which one of these teams is going to step forward from their mediocre start?
16. Washington Commanders (2-1) – They have not punted in two weeks. I don’t think I’ve even heard of that.
15. Los Angeles Chargers (2-1) – I have a dynasty team that looked like a laughing stock, but I had JK Dobbins on my bench. Who’s laughing now?
14. Tampa Bay Bucs (2-1) – That was a shocking loss to Denver. Even more shocking is seeing Mike Evans held to two catches for 17 yards.
13. New York Jets (2-1) – They’re starting to look more comfortable with Aaron Rodgers at the helm. We even got to see the QB refuse a bro hug from the coach. Sounds like things are perfect in Rodgersland.
12. Baltimore Ravens (1-2) – They tried to blow another 4th-quarter lead, but the Cowboys were just too nice to take it.
11. San Francisco 49ers (1-2) – As soon as I picked them to win the Super Bowl, you knew they would struggle with injuries. It looks like McCaffrey is going to be gone for a long time. It’s time to move Jauan Jennings to running back!
10. New Orleans Saints (2-1) – After 91 points in the first two weeks, they managed just 12 against Philly because it turns out Derek Carr was still Derek Carr.
9. Seattle Seahawks (3-0) – They have three wins over three suspect teams. This weekend, they go to Detroit. Impress me.
8. Pittsburgh Steelers (3-0) – No, I am not a believer, but they are 3-0 and Mike Tomlin is their head coach. No, I do not hate Justin Fields, but let’s not go overboard on the praise for a QB who is leading his team to a whopping 17 points per game.
7. Green Bay Packers (2-1) – Matt LaFleur’s squad won in all three phases for the second week in a row.
6. Houston Texans (2-1) – After they were trounced by the Vikings, every team in the AFC South now has a negative point differential. For those wondering, that’s not good.
5. Philadelphia Eagles (2-1) – They are surviving, but not thriving, without AJ Brown on the field.
4. Detroit Lions (2-1) – One hundred and eight-eight yards rushing from Montgomery & Gibbs is a pretty good way to keep Kyler Murray off of the field.

3. Minnesota Vikings (3-0) – The Vikings beating the Texans was not a stunner. However, the Vikings pantsing the Texans was. That defense is a problem.
2. Kansas City Chiefs (3-0) – They’re 3-0 despite Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce looking mortal. That’s kind of scary.
1. Buffalo Bills (3-0) – The Bills are easily number one right now and Josh Allen is easily the MVP. There are still 14 games to go — that’s why don’t give awards out in September.
