Power Rankings, Week 4: Bears, Saints ascend; 49ers plummet - NFL.com
:rocker:
Could be the best team in the NFL when Gronk, Vereen, and Amendola come back, and rookies Dobson/Thompkins/Boyce/Sudfeld get on the same page as Brady and settle into the offense more.
Broncos can be the regular season champs and burn themselves out. Our offense looks like it will hit its stride when it matters most, playoff time.
It sure wasn't vintage Tom Brady (225 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception), but it was enough to get it done against a pretty strong Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense. The 14-year vet seems to have found something -- or someone -- in Kenbrell Thompkins, an undrafted rookie who caught both scoring tosses from the Hall of Fame-bound quarterback Sunday. On the flip side: What a quality performance from the Patriots' secondary. We didn't see 23-3 coming.
Power Rankings sidenote: Getting a lot of feedback on New England being so high. While the Patriots don't feel like a No. 3 team, they're tied for the second-fewest points allowed in the NFL. Meanwhile, Tom Brady is still the quarterback, and there's a very strong chance that the team's second-best player -- Rob Gronkowski -- comes back this week. And which team in the NFL has allowed fewer points than New England? That would be the Seahawks.
