The first three weeks of the 2023 NFL season are in the books for all but four teams that will play Monday night.
It was a Week 3 Sunday with a few massive upsets, a couple incredibly lopsided blowouts, the re-emergence of some perennial powers, and the continued backslide of teams that started the season with high hopes.
The Jacksonville Jaguars fall into that last category after entering the year as a popular pick to be a dark horse Super Bowl contender. Instead of looking like a playoff threat, the Jaguars have been a bumbling mess with self-inflicted errors outweighing their talent.
Meanwhile, other contenders in the AFC — like the Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs, Cleveland Browns, and Buffalo Bills — are starting to hit their stride.
These rankings will be updated after Monday’s results, but with 14 games in the books, here’s how all 32 NFL teams stack up with Week 4 on the way:
