Notes/Thoughts on the Power Rankings:
The Philadelphia Eagles continue to roll as they laid the smackdown on the winless San Francisco 49ers. The Pittsburgh Steelers are the second best team in the NFL as they beat the Detroit Lions on Sunday night football. The New England Patriots I dropped to number three after I had put them tied with the Steelers at number two last week. I put the New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks tied at number four.
The Miami Dolphins takes the biggest fall after getting shutout 40-0 versus the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night football. They also traded their star running back, Jay Ajayi to the Philadelphia Eagles for a 2018 Fourth round pick.
The San Francisco 49ers and Cleveland Browns are tied for 32nd as they are both still winless. I wouldn't be shocked if both didn't win a single game and it came down to a coin toss for the number one pick and possibly drafting that franchise Quarterback.
