Key Notes ahead of Week 4

I don’t think anyone would have had the Indianapolis Colts occupying the top spot after three weeks, but they’re 3-0 and two of their wins have come in dominating fashion. It remains to be seen how Daniel Jones will hold up over the course of the season, but they play in the right division for a surprise team to make noise.  I think they’ve benefited from a soft start schedule wise, but when you compete against the Jaguars, Titans and this version of the Houston Texans I won’t be surprised if they end up as the AFC South champions. 

 

The Pittsburgh Steelers ranking third overall is a hilarious indication as to just how pure they’ve run already this season. This has become Mike Tomlin’s reputation over the last few years – his team vastly overperforms in the regular season, sneaks into the playoffs and gets destroyed by a real team. It appears the Steelers are headed down a similar path, after narrowly beating the Patriots last week despite New England turning the ball over five times. I will be fading this Steelers team earlier than usual, and I think the Vikings can absolutely roll them overseas on Sunday morning. 

 

The Los Angeles Rams are a team that sticks out to me as a team I could see rising up these rankings over the course of the season. Coming into the season we know they had a rising defense led by Jared Verse, and the main question mark was the health of Matthew Stafford. Stafford has looked great to me, though the lost to the Eagles last weekend on some blocked field goals those types of things tend to even out over the course of a season. Sean McVay has once again flipped the script on the NFL and is essentially running a brand new offense. For years, this offense was among league leaders in 11 personnel usage and that’s gone out the window in 2025. They’re not running three wide receivers as much as we’ve previously seen and they’re completely picking teams apart with play action from Stafford under center. I want to watch how this trend continues as head into the thick of the season but I love what I’ve seen from the Rams offensively through three weeks.
