NFL Power Rankings, Week 3: Bengals, Chiefs climb; Bears, Buccaneers plummet

What do the Power Rankings look like after a wild week of football? How high do the Bengals fly after an inspiring road win? How low do the Buccaneers go after a humiliating home loss. Check out the full league hierarchy, 1-32, entering Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season.

and just like that the Cardinals drop 11 spots. Which I think is kind of an overreaction.

The second half of game was brutal and the Cards got blown out at home. They need to fix a couple of the current issues: the QB, the run blocking, pass rush, WR1, and the secondary, to compete in this division. That is a lot to ask. If only our GM had 3 or 4 drafts in which to do so, we might be onto something.

ESPN didn't elevate the Cardinals excessively after week 1, nor did they overreact and drop the Cardinals too far after week 2: they dropped from #24 to #26.

It is an overreaction

We never should have been that high in the first place

We are paper tigers until proven differently

I think SD stinking it up against the raiders took all the lustre out of the win.

The Athletic's Power Rankings prior to week 4:

There’s a lot going on with quarterbacks as the NFL enters Week 4, so the power rankings are checking in on every fanbase’s confidence level in its quarterback situation.

...

28. Arizona Cardinals (1-2)​

Last week: 26
Sunday: Lost to 49ers 36-30
QB confidence: Exactly where it should be

Jacoby Brissett had to hold out this offseason just to convince the Cardinals to make him the 19th-highest-paid quarterback in the league. Brissett is living up to his end of the deal. He’s 17th in the NFL in EPA per dropback (0.07), 16th in passing yards (652) and sixth in completion percentage (70.1) while throwing more passes than all but four quarterbacks.

Power rankings are meaningless in the NFL.

Its for midweek banter and nothing else.

Just win baby!

LOL.
Other than McBride, who else would you say is producing in the top 20 of his position in the NFL.

Wilson?

Love?

Any olinemen? Dline?

I am not sure who else on this team you would for sure say is top 20.
