2024 NFL Week 3 Power Pulse: Who’s Rising and Falling?

Find out which teams surged and which stumbled in PFT's Week 3 2024 NFL power rankings update.

The latest NFL Power Rankings are in, and we’re headed into another thrilling week of football! Let’s dive into the highs, the lows, and everything in between with a passionate, energetic twist.

1. Chiefs (last week No. 1; 2-0): The Chiefs remain at the summit, but their continued reign hinges on finding a solid replacement for Isiah Pacheco. One slip-up and they might tumble from the throne quicker than a fumble in the red zone!

2. Bills (No. 7; 2-0): With Josh Allen playing like he’s auditioning for the role of Superman, he is the undisputed early-season MVP. The Bills are charging ahead with the force of a buffalo stampede!

3. Buccaneers (No. 6; 2-0): It’s becoming glaringly obvious that this team is more than just cannon fire and pirate flags. The Bucs are making everyone sit up and take notice—elite status, aquí vamos!

4. Lions (No. 2; 1-1): The Lions must turn those nail-biters into decisive victories. No más coin-flip affairs; they need to close out strong or risk being the kings of close calls!

5. Texans (No. 8; 2-0): Stefon Diggs returns to the scene of the miracle he helped create, and it’s a moment dripping with poetic justice. Can the Texans harness that magic and keep the momentum rolling?

Top Contenders & Pretenders

6. 49ers (No. 3; 1-1): Brock Purdy is on a mission to dominate this season, but they were a mere forced fumble at the goal line away from disaster last Sunday. They’re walking a fine line—careful now!

7. Steelers (No. 11; 2-0): Guess what Russell Wilson? Game balls might be the only thing you touch for a while. The Steelers are riding high and showing no mercy!

8. Eagles (No. 5; 1-1): The Eagles need a rapid turnaround or risk an early-season collapse that could be more tragic than a missed field goal attempt.

9. Packers (No. 10; 1-1): Every victory without Jordan Love on the field is like cash in the bank for the Packers. They’re keeping their heads above water in turbulent times.

10. Saints (No. 23; 2-0): The Saints have had it easy so far, but tougher times are ahead. When adversity strikes, we’ll see what they’re truly made of.

Surprises and Comebacks

11. Vikings (No. 24; 2-0): The supposed worst team in the division, the Vikings, now find themselves sitting pretty at the top. A Cinderella story in the making?

12. Jets (No. 16; 1-1): With a desperate need for a win in Tennessee, the Jets clutched it, though it was more nerve-wracking than it should have been. Phew!

13. Falcons (No. 19; 1-1): The Falcons pulled off an unlikely Monday night win. Could this serve as the springboard for a Sunday night triumph over the Chiefs? Only time will tell!

14. Ravens (No. 4; 0-2): The Ravens need to leave the past behind if they want to soar this season. Forget last year and focus on the now!

15. Chargers (No. 18; 2-0): Under Jim Harbaugh’s helm, the Chargers have turned things around with blistering pace. Should any of us be surprised?

16. Bengals (No. 14; 0-2): The Chiefs are probably dreading another playoff showdown with the Bengals. Watch out—revenge could be sweet.

17. Browns (No. 17; 1-1): That win was essential for the Browns. However, survival in the NFL jungle means racking up a lot more W’s.

18. Cowboys (No. 12; 1-1): If anyone knew how dynamic Alvin Kamara can be, it was Mike Zimmer. The Cowboys faceoff was a tactical chess game.

19. Dolphins (No. 9; 1-1): Miami looks shaky. Whether Tua is in or out, the outlook for the Dolphins isn’t pretty.

20. Bears (No. 13; 1-1): So, maybe the Bears won’t make it to the Super Bowl this year. But hey, every team has its ups and downs!

Teams in Trouble

21. Seahawks (No. 21; 2-0): The Seahawks are 3-0 against the Patriots since Super Bowl XLIX. But you bet they’d trade all of those wins for a do-over of that fateful game.

22. Cardinals (No. 26; 1-1): Kyler Murray is back with a vengeance. The Cardinals are gaining altitude rapidly.

23. Raiders (No. 30; 1-1): Can the Raiders find consistency and start stringing together victories? Only time and effort will tell.

24. Rams (No. 15; 0-2): Aaron Donald undoubtedly made the right call sticking with the Rams. They need his presence now more than ever.

25. Patriots (No. 25; 1-1): Despite low expectations, the Patriots have shown some fight. Everyone thought they’d stink, but hey, there’s some hope yet!

26. Commanders (No. 29; 1-1): No apologies are required for winning against a team minus their kicker. A win is a win for the Commanders.

27. Jaguars (No. 20; 0-2): Will Bill Belichick have any interest in the Jaguars if they continue their downward spiral? Interesting times ahead!

28. Colts (No. 22; 0-2): Anthony Richardson plays with the thrill of an amusement park ride, but Jim Irsay might be losing his patience.

29. Broncos (No. 27; 0-2): Slow and steady… but when will we see the progress for these Broncos? Time keeps ticking.

30. Titans (No. 28; 0-2): “Hold the mayo” might be the best advice for Titans fans right now. It’s tough times in Tennessee.

31. Giants (No. 31; 0-2): Poor John Mara—there’s a good reason he always looks so grumpy. The Giants are in dire straits.

Cellar Dwellers

32. Panthers (No. 32; 0-2): David Tepper might once have been a minority owner with the Steelers, but his tenure with the Panthers suggests he’s yet to learn the ropes of successful franchise ownership.
