NFL Power Rankings entering Week 4: The Raiders are 3-0 and there are plenty of signs it might stick
Key Points:
- The Las Vegas Raiders have transformed under new head coach Klint Kubiak, starting 3-0 with a strong defense ranked second in EPA allowed per play, despite last season's 3-14 record and ongoing rookie Fernando Mendoza sitting out.
- The Miami Dolphins are struggling badly at 0-3 with a -50 point differential and lost star running back De'Von Achane to a season-ending ACL injury, intensifying their woes.
- The Dallas Cowboys suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Ravens due to poor clock management and decision-making in the final seconds, overshadowing their potential for a strong season.
- The Buffalo Bills remain dominant at 3-0 despite a sloppy game with five turnovers against the Chiefs, showcasing resilience and maintaining confidence in Josh Allen's overall performance.
- Several teams, including the New England Patriots, Tennessee Titans, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, are off to poor starts (0-3), facing challenges with quarterback play, injuries, and coaching stability.
