The Jets also scored one touchdown in a 36-7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts (2-1). Washington might be a better football team under Ron Rivera than it was a season ago, but this remains a team that doesn't have enough talent to overcome a litany of mistakes. The Broncos looked lost defensively in their first four games under Vic Fangio, but they are starting to play the kind of defense we expected from their vibrant pass rush, even without Bradley Chubb, that sets up the back seven for takeaways. He threw for 385 yards and four scores without an interception. In many ways, it was vintage Steelers football. But he misfired on just two of those attempts, passing for 160 yards and two scores with a passer rating of over 130. The schedule lightens up now—next week the Texans face the winless Vikings. The reality is there are going to be growing pains with the young quarterback. The Colts have one of the NFL's best offensive lines. The team piled up 250 yards on the ground—almost 100 more than through the air. After a pair of impressive victories to open the season, the Arizona Cardinals had worked their way into the top 10 of these power rankings. However, making the postseason after an 0-3 start is nearly impossible. You know you had a good day when you can get the opposition to question its entire identity in the process.

Lock started Denver’s final five contests of the season and helped the team win four games, completing 64.1 percent of his passes for 1,020 yards with seven touchdowns against three interceptions.
And their best edge-rusher (Nick Bosa). The defense showed up in a big way against the Titans.
Las Vegas averaged 5.7 yards a carry in its own right, and Derek Carr threw for 261 yards and two scores without an interception. It's difficult to make the playoffs after an 0-2 start, but not impossible—the Houston Texans have accomplished the feat twice in recent years, including as recently as 2018. Mahomes and the Chiefs have now eluded Jackson three times, and given how this game went, it's hard to imagine a fourth meeting in the playoffs going much differently.". The NFC East is rather a mess. Dominating the AFC East for two decades and winning six Super Bowls will do that. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers continued his hot start to the season against the Saints, amassing 283 passing yards and three scores with a passer rating just under 125.

"The Bears could easily be 0-3," Gagnon said. The Buffalo Bills are the real deal, y'all.
It’s not fair to compare Lock to Manning or John Elway. Take a look at where the experts think the Broncos stand as they head into Week 2. But defensively, the Raiders couldn't stop the Patriots from doing what they wanted to on the ground. But three weeks in, Dallas looks a lot like last year's yo-yo of a team—and that's not a good thing.
