NFL Week 4 Power Rankings: Vikings, Eagles storm the top five

Hit the reset button.

The No. 3 and No. 6 teams in our previous Power Rankings (Pittsburgh and Houston, respectively) were absolutely throttled in Week 3. Teams Nos. 4 (Carolina), 5 (Arizona) and 7 (Cincinnati) were pushed around in losses. Some of you would be quick to point out that shows a flaw in our Power Rankings, and to those of you I say, “Thank you for your tweets.”

What it also shows is that there is a very thin line between being great and just average in this league, with not many teams clearing that height.

How will this week’s Power Rankings hold up?
