NFL Performance Rankings Week 4

This week, we have noticed the traditional media outlets moving up the Bills in their “Power Rankings” to number 3. They are catching on to what PossessionPoints.com sees. Last week, we had the Bills in the number 1 spot, and this week the Bills remain in that position. Rounding out the top 4 in our Performance Rankings are the Giants, Eagles, Titans and Chargers. Like the Bills, the Titans are 4-0, but they actually fell a bit in our Performance Rankings from 2nd down to 4th. It is also interesting to note that the Vikings who lost to the Titans also fell in our Performance Rankings from 3rd to 6th. As expected, this 2-3 matchup turned out to be a tough struggle which resulted in both teams falling in the Performance Rankings.

The other item to note in this week’s chart is all the Yellow. All but five teams are coated in Yellow. This demonstrates how competitive the league is this year with few teams standing out with Green performances.



One new feature we have added to our Performance Rankings is the “Ranked Last Week” Column. You can easily see teams that are moving up versus teams that are moving down. The teams moving up are in a Green background while the teams moving down are in a Red background.

We also want to draw your attention to one dramatic fall this week: The Cowboys who have fallen from 8th to 18th. Even when the Cowboys were undefeated and proclaimed as the top NFL team by all the “Power Rankings”, PossessionPoints recognized a weakness in their Defense. Last week, that weakness came through loud and clear with their defeat by the Redskins. Does this mean the Cowboys are finished? Absolutely not, but they need to shore up their Defense.

Rounding out the bottom five in our Performance Rankings are the Colts who hopefully used their bye week to figure out some way to improve their offense; the Chiefs; Texans; Lions (ditto the comment of the Colts); and the Rams who will have a new Coach on the sidelines next week which might help them climb out of the basement.

PossessionPoints.com’s Performance Ratings are unique because they are based on in-game stats that are present in each game every week. Not present in these performance ratings are any opinion and or subjective measure of any type.
