NFL Week 4 Power Rankings 2023

The Week 4 NFL Power Rankings from 97.5 The Fanatic have a lot of movement among the top teams. However, the number one team isn't about to change.

Jalen Hurts showed some improvement with 277 yards in a Week 3 victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He still has a long way to go if the Eagles want to regain form as one of the top offensive attacks in the NFL.

The offense still ran efficiently with an excellent rushing attack. D'Andre Swift carried the load once again. He followed his 175-yard performance in Week 2 with 130 yards on 16 carries in Week 3. 

Sean Desai has the defense rolling once again. Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis have formed an excellent tandem on the defensive front. Fletcher Cox and Milton Williams have added in great contributions of their own for the best interior in the NFL.

The city of Philadelphia's passion will inevitably lead to intense scrutiny, but don't sound any alarms about the preseason's #1 team in the 97.5 The Fanatic rankings. The Eagles have improved their performance every week of the 2023 season. They won't give up the top spot without a legitimate reason.

The Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers both looked impressive in the first two weeks, justifying major jumps into higher spots just behind the Eagles. However, one of the two expected NFC powers has already suffered a bad loss. Are the 49ers going to be the next team on the wrong side of a major upset?

The Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills have recovered from Week 1 losses, and they're looking impressive as Super Bowl contenders just like everyone predicted during the preseason. The Cincinnati Bengals are back in the win column.

The Miami Dolphins put on a show with a 70-20 victory over the Denver Broncos. Their offense is potent, and they look like a true threat to the top teams in the AFC.

Win 25-11 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Last Week: 1

They're still rolling with the most talented roster in the NFL. Why doesn't the slow start in the passing game knock them out of the top spot? Imagine when this passing attack does (inevitably) improve.

Win 30-12 vs. New York Giants
Last Week: 3

Brock Purdy still might not scare you, but the 49ers keep winning with him under center. That December 3 matchup at Lincoln Financial Field is looking pretty enticing.

Win 41-10 vs.Chicago Bears
Last Week: 4

The Week 1 letdown is a thing of the past for the Super Bowl champs. They did what they're supposed to do against one of the NFL's worst teams. (insert Taylor Swift joke here)

Win 70-20 vs. Denver Broncos
Last Week: 5

By now, you've heard the Dolphins scored the most points in an NFL game since 1966. They'll now prepare for teams with much more fight in them than the Broncos.

Win 28-16 vs. Arizona Cardinals
Last Week: 2

Style points in the first two games didn't help the Cowboys stay unbeaten in the desert. Eagles fans might actually thank Jonathan Gannon this week.

Win 37-3 vs. Washington Commanders
Last Week: 6

The preseason predictions are starting to make more sense. The better team rolled in a no-brainer.

Win vs. Los Angeles Rams
Last Week: 9

Joe Burrow suited up. He saved the season. Put the panic alarms on hold.

Loss 27-24 vs. Indianapolis Colts
Last Week: 7

A hot start and a big win over the Bengals led to a letdown against Shane Steichen and the Colts. It's nothing they won't recover from.

Win 37-27 vs. Carolina Panthers
Last Week: 11

The Seahawks never look like the best team on paper. That's why they play the games.

Win 20-6 vs. Atlanta Falcons
Last Week: 12

They're not as good as the Week 1 win over the Chiefs, but they look poised to take hold of the NFC North.

Loss 18-17 vs. Green Bay Packers
Last Week: 10

The Saints still look like the favorite in the NFC South. They certainly don't look like a Super Bowl contender though.

Loss 37-17 vs. Houston Texans
Last Week: 8

The Jaguars are the first contender that justifies panic. Eagles fans know that Doug Pederson has recovered from ugly starts before. However, he needs major improvement, and he needs it fast.

Win 18-17 vs. New Orleans Saints
Last Week: 14

The Packers escaped with a win in a matchup of NFC middlings. They still have a lot to prove.

Win 23-18 vs. Las Vegas Raiders
Last Week: 15

T.J. Watt was dominant once again. However, the Steelers don't look as complete as some AFC contenders, especially on offense.

Win 28-24 vs. Minnesota Vikings
Last week: 16

The Chargers stayed afloat for now. The two losses look like much more important indicators than the one victory, however.

Loss 15-10 vs. New England Patriots
Last Week: 13

The Jets survived the injury to Aaron Rodgers with an impressive Week 1 victory. It's been all downhill from there.

Loss 30-12 vs. San Francisco 49ers
Last Week: 17

The magic from 2022 just might have dried up. Can the Giants really keep pace with the 3-0 Eagles and a formidable Dallas team?

Win 27-3 vs. Tennessee Titans
Last Week: 28

The Browns have a decent overall outlook. The uncertainty of the Deshaun Watson era still looms, but a 2-1 record has them in decent shape.

Loss 19-16 vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Last Week: 18

They lost to a desperate Bengals team facing a must-win situation. They're down two games in the NFC West standings with a loss against the division leaders.

Loss 20-6 vs. Detroit Lions
Last Week: 19

The Falcons have a reasonable outlook in the NFC South, especially with the Buccaneers coming back to Earth against the Eagles.

Win 15-10 vs. New York Jets
Last Week: 23

The Patriots avoided the basement in the AFC East. However, will they have enough to compete with the Dolphins and the Bills for the top spot?

Loss 27-3 vs. Cleveland Browns
Last Week: 20

The Titans might be a tough team this year, but they had a major gaffe on Sunday.

Win 22-19 vs. Baltimore Ravens
Last Week: 26

It's not often that Justin Tucker misses a game-winning field goal. Give Shane Steichen credit, but the Colts still have a lot to prove.

Loss 37-3 vs. Buffalo Bills
Last Week: 22

Washington came back to Earth against the Bills in a similar fashion to the Buccaneers. They now face another tough matchup at the Linc on Sunday. Things down look so hot for Josh Harris right now.

Loss 25-11 vs. Philadelphia Eagles
Last Week: 21

The fairytale start is over. The Eagles pushed a makeshift offensive line around, and the Bucs have a lot of questions left to answer.

Loss 28-24 vs. Los Angeles Chargers
Last Week: 24

They simply don't look like they're in a position to approach an excellent 13-4 record in 2022. Were they really that great last year anyway?

Win 37-17 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Last Week: 30

C.J. Stroud continues to improve, and an impressive win against the Jaguars gives the Texans a big jump.

Loss 23-18 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Last Week: 27

The Raiders couldn't pull out an ugly win. They might have too many pretty wins this season either.

Win 28-16 vs. Dallas Cowboys
Last Week: 31

The Cardinals aren't tanking just yet, and they hooked the Eagles up with a big-time upset.

Loss 70-20 vs. Miami Dolphins
Last Week: 25

The coaching change didn't solve everything. Did it even solve anything? Sean Payton has some work to do if he wants to salvage the Russell Wilson era in Denver.

Loss 41-10 vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Last Week: 29

The vibes aren't very good around Justin Fields and the Bears. They're looking for a miracle at this point.

Loss 37-27 vs. Seattle Seahawks
Last Week: 32

Bryce Young will experience growing pains this season. Three losses have sunk Carolina into a tough spot with a bad outlook (at least for 2023).
