Biggest Riser +7
DET
Gibbs scored three times and the Jets could not keep up. A home win, nothing fancy, and they are back on the right side of 50.
Biggest Faller −12

Six points in Jacksonville. Maye’s turnovers again. The Maye-and-Brown hype just ran into a 35–6 wall.

OVERALL BOARD

N=32

The Power Index rates how a team is actually performing in the playoff race. Scale is 20–95. All teams started near 50. Each week it updates from wins and losses, margin, opponent, division/conference games, scoring, points allowed, and later turnovers. 80 = playoff form. 50 = still alive. 30 = fading. Early weeks move more because the sample is small.

#01 — SF San Francisco 49ers 3-0
Power Score 63.31

They keep losing bodies and they keep winning anyway. Purdy dragged them through Arizona 36–30 with Evans, Williams, and Greenlaw all leaving. It was messy. First place does not care.

#02 +1 KC Kansas City Chiefs 3-0
Power Score 60.75

Went into Miami and won 24–10 like a team that expected to. No drama, no last-second kick. That is why they look like the cleanest 3-0 on the board.

#03 +5 JAX Jacksonville Jaguars 2-1
Power Score 60.35

Maye had another turnover night and Jacksonville turned it into 35–6. This is the team that blew Cleveland out in Week 1, not the one that faded in Denver.

#04 — MIN Minnesota Vikings 3-0
Power Score 59.41

Jefferson went down, Murray looked lost for long stretches, and they still left Tampa 3-0. The defense is the whole identity right now.

#05 — LV Las Vegas Raiders 3-0
Power Score 59.25

Cousins threw three more touchdowns and the Saints could not stop turning it over late. Mendoza can keep watching. This 3-0 thing is starting to look real.

#06 +1 BUF Buffalo Bills 3-0
Power Score 58.43

Five turnovers, Allen looking lost, and they still beat the Chargers 24–16. They had no business winning. They did. That is a 3-0 team.

#07 +3 CHI Chicago Bears 2-1
Power Score 58.35

Case Keenum started Monday night and Chicago beat Philadelphia 27–7. A week after scoring three points, they looked like the team that dropped 59 in Week 1.

#08 −6 SEA Seattle Seahawks 2-1
Power Score 56.83

Darnold came back, threw four scores, threw a pick-six, and the run game vanished in the rain. Washington stole it 33–31. First loss of the year.

#09 −3 CIN Cincinnati Bengals 2-1
Power Score 54.09

Burrow was rolling until he was not. A late fumble, two special-teams disasters, and Pittsburgh walks out with a 30–27 division win.

#10 +2 BAL Baltimore Ravens 2-1
Power Score 54.02

Brazil, last play of the night, Loop from 56. Henry already has six touchdowns. They keep finding ways that should not work.

#11 +7 DET Detroit Lions 2-1
Power Score 51.13

Gibbs scored three times and the Jets could not keep up. A home win, nothing fancy, and they are back on the right side of 50.

#12 +2 DAL Dallas Cowboys 1-2
Power Score 50.45

Came all the way back from 11 down in Rio and still lost on a walk-off kick. Same 1-2 start as the last two years. The fight is there. The finish is not.

#13 — CAR Carolina Panthers 1-2
Power Score 50.35

Young moved the ball. The line could not run it when it mattered. A 21–18 loss in Cleveland after last week’s blowout in Atlanta.

#14 +5 DEN Denver Broncos 2-1
Power Score 50.17

Scoreless first half, down 16, then Nix and two Hufanga picks flipped it. They keep surviving their own starts. Sooner or later that runs out.

#15 +5 PIT Pittsburgh Steelers 2-1
Power Score 49.99

Warren ran for 127, Burrow put the ball on the ground, and Pittsburgh took a division game 30–27. Rodgers has two wins. That is enough for now.

#16 — LAR Los Angeles Rams 1-2
Power Score 49.64

Moved it all night, died in the red zone, and Stafford got picked on the last snap. They look like a good team until the game ends.

#17 −6 PHI Philadelphia Eagles 2-1
Power Score 49.07

Seven points. On Monday night. Against Case Keenum. That is how you fall out of the 2-0 group in one week.

#18 +4 NYG New York Giants 2-1
Power Score 49.04

Winston, Dart out, 12–7 over Tennessee. It was ugly. It counted. They are 2-1 and nobody is quite sure how.

#19 −4 NYJ New York Jets 1-2
Power Score 48.72

Geno threw for 321 and they still left Detroit with a seven-point loss. Close. Not good enough.

#20 −3 NO New Orleans Saints 1-2
Power Score 48.29

Shough had the place rocking until two late turnovers handed Las Vegas the game. Protection died when it mattered.

#21 −12 NE New England Patriots 1-2
Power Score 47.26

Six points in Jacksonville. Maye’s turnovers again. The Maye-and-Brown hype just ran into a 35–6 wall.

#22 +3 CLE Cleveland Browns 2-1
Power Score 47.18

Watson won it in the fourth for the second straight week. Graham has a sack in every game. First place in the North, somehow.

#23 +5 IND Indianapolis Colts 1-2
Power Score 45.81

A 53-yarder as the clock died and they finally have a win. Houston is 0-3. That is the level they are beating right now.

#24 +5 WAS Washington Commanders 1-2
Power Score 45.53

Mariota, three takeaways, a pick-six, and they knocked off Seattle. Daniels is still hurt. For one afternoon it did not matter.

#25 +7 ATL Atlanta Falcons 1-2
Power Score 45.34

Robinson and London both went for 194 and Green Bay got run out of Lambeau 35–14. One Thursday night off the bottom.

#26 −3 ARI Arizona Cardinals 1-2
Power Score 44.81

Dead in the first half, alive in the second, still a 36–30 loss in San Francisco. They can score. They have not won two yet.

#27 −3 TB Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0-3
Power Score 43.49

Mayfield got sacked six times, hurt his thumb, and went 2-of-17 on third down. Third loss. The offense looks broken.

#28 −2 HOU Houston Texans 0-3
Power Score 42.79

Lost 19–17 in Indianapolis on a late kick. One-score games keep ending the same way. Still searching for win one.

#29 −8 GB Green Bay Packers 1-2
Power Score 42.16

Got punched in their own building by Atlanta. The “just survive September” plan is not going well.

#30 −3 TEN Tennessee Titans 0-3
Power Score 41.89

Five three-and-outs and a late Ward interception. Seven points at the Giants. The offense is the problem, every week.

#31 −1 LAC Los Angeles Chargers 0-3
Power Score 41.35

Forced five turnovers and still lost in Buffalo. Herbert does not look like Herbert. That is 0-3.

#32 −1 MIA Miami Dolphins 0-3
Power Score 36.59

Ten points against Kansas City. Thirty-six for the season. Last place, and it is not a debate.
