- There are two undefeated NFL teams through four weeks and three winless ones.
- What does Sunday night tie mean for Packers, Cowboys?
- Who replaces Chargers as they drop out of top five?
NFL power rankings entering Week 5 of the 2025 season (previous rank in parentheses):
2. Buffalo Bills (2): Come Sunday night for the conclusion of their three-game homestand − the AFC leaders won’t play again in Western New York until November. Stay for the debut of their ‘Cold Front’ uniforms, Nike’s specially devised ‘Rivalries’ alternates for Buffalo.
6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9): Sure, they just suffered their first loss − though they almost clawed all the way back to knock off the champion Eagles. Again. Ironically, it was the Bucs’ first game of the 2025 season with All-Pro LT Tristan Wirfs and WR Chris Godwin in the lineup, their returns seemingly portending even better days ahead for the NFC South leaders.
14. Jacksonville Jaguars (17): Their 13 takeaways − including at least three in every game − are already four more than they had all of last season. The Jags are the sixth team since 2000 to record multiple interceptions in each of a season’s first four games.
20. Dallas Cowboys (28): As magnificent a kicker as Brandon Aubrey is, one aspect of his game that should make him even more appreciated is his ability to dump kickoffs so accurately throughout the landing zone in the NFL’s new ‘Dynamic Kickoff’ era.
27. Las Vegas Raiders (24): RB Ashton Jeanty became the first Silver and Black rookie since Bo Jackson in 1987 to post a TD run and catch in the same game. Now it’s safe to say Jeanty has officially arrived.
28. Cleveland Browns (26): You have to admire the Browns for not simply giving up on a season that’s quickly getting away from them. Despite that, they acquired veteran LT Cam Robinson on Monday, good news for QB Joe Flacco … or whomever replaces him.
32. Tennessee Titans (31): Not only are they winless, their margin of defeat has grown wider by the week. Rookie QB Cam Ward summed up this squad succinctly after Sunday’s whitewashing in Houston.
