Here are the latest NFC North power rankings and a look at this week’s matchups, which include Vikings at Packers in an enormous early-season showdown.

7. Vikings (No. 11; 3-0): Currently, they’re the most balanced team in the NFL. 8. Buccaneers (No. 3; 2-1): We’ll consider it a fluke, for now. 9. Texans (No. 5; 2-1): They really missed Joe Mixon on Sunday. 10. Saints (No. 10; 2-1): A huge game looms in Atlanta.

Here are the power rankings heading into Week 4: Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (8) is pressured by Green Bay Packers defensive end Rashan Gary (52) during their game at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday, Sept. 22, 2024.

Week 3 of the NFL regular season saw a resurgence of the young careers of quarterbacks Malik Willis and Justin Fields, and the arrival of Jayden Daniels, all while former first pick Bryce Young sat on the bench watching Andy Dalton lead the Carolina Panthers past the Las Vegas Raiders.

The high didn't last long. The Week one loss to the Chargers acted as a confirmation to many who saw the Raiders as a bottom five team. The stunning win in Baltimore had people rethinking that. Then Week 3 came and all returned as it once was.
