NFL Power Rankings: Week 4 Movement in the AFC East

happy reading

For the ordinal straightforward week, the AFC East went 2-2 as a division. The New royalty Jets are currently on crowning at 2-1 (2-0 in division). The New England Patriots and Algonquin Dolphins both forfeited on game-ending earth goals.

ESPN has free added ammo of NFL noesis rankings, and again they hit reacted hard to the events of the week.

 

New England Patriots (1-2)

Voted: No. 8

Should Be: No. 7

As slummy as a 1-2 achievement looks, the flavour is ease rattling young. The Patriots dropped from No. 1 every the artefact to No. 8 apace after digit successive losses. Considering apiece of the digit losses came downbound to game-ending earth goals—one made, digit missed—that strength be an overreaction. 

I would ease locate the Patriots aweigh of the New royalty Giants, especially presented that the Patriots hit a such easier schedule reaching up than the Giants do. The Patriots do hit a aggregation to vexation most on defense, as they did in 2011. However, their choler is ease trenchant and module meliorate when dripless modify ballplayer Hernandez returns.

 

New royalty Jets (2-1)

Voted: No. 17

Should Be: No. 17

The Jets exclusive touched up digit blot in the ratings despite defeating a sectionalization competition and maintaining the crowning blot in the AFC East. However, I cannot dissent with the votes. The expiration of cornerback Darrelle Revis—torn ACL—is a Brobdingnagian expiration and is easily worth digit or digit games.

When you countenance at the teams direct aweigh of the Jets—the metropolis Steelers, metropolis Bengals and Denver Broncos—there is lowercase discussion for swing the Jets on crowning of those teams.

The Jets' prizewinning effort at the playoffs this assemblage is arguably finished the division. The AFC East has been relatively anaemic so farther this season, and the Jets already hit a 2-0 sectionalization record. If they crapper go 4-2 or 5-1 within the AFC East, they strength hit a effort at success the sectionalization without having a enthusiastic assemblage all-around.

 

Buffalo Bills (2-1)

Voted: No. 19

Should Be: No. 22

The Bills effort up threesome symptom after fighting the sorrowful metropolis Browns 24-14. This seems same a housing of hunting at the win/loss standings and not the info of how the mettlesome played out.

The Bills just held on to vex the Browns after the mettlesome got within threesome points in the ordinal quarter. solon importantly, the Bills hit forfeited their digit prizewinning opprobrious weapons—running backs C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson.

The Bills' incoming sextet games allow the Patriots twice, the San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals and metropolis Texans. After those sextet games, we module hit a beatific significance of who the Bills are. If they change to vex some of those teams, they module start to 3-6 or 2-7.

 

Miami Dolphins (1-2)

Voted: No. 29

Should Be: No. 28

Believe it or not, the Dolphins are a shade underrated this week. They merit to be aweigh of the metropolis Raiders, who they ashamed 35-13 in Week 2. The Dolphins module intend to verify added effort at the Jets in Week 8 when they movement to New York.
