Packers drop in NFL Week 4 power rankings after loss to Washington

After their loss to Washington, the Green Bay Packers have dropped two spots in the power rankings entering Week 4.

What a week it was in the NFL. We’ll come on to the Green Bay Packers in a moment, but Week 3 featured a number of surprising results.

First, the Cleveland Browns kicked it off with their first win in 635 days. We probably should have known it would be a strange weekend in the NFL after that. Predict the Browns win? Fair enough.

But now imagine saying a week ago that the Bills would win comfortably in Minnesota and the Patriots would lose a second straight to the winless Lions. Oh, and the Jaguars would lose to the Titans in a game featuring zero touchdowns.

As for the Packers, they too entered Week 3 as favorites but were comfortably beaten by the Washington Redskins. A poor first half performance in all phases put them behind the eight ball, and only the defense responded in the second half.

Entering Week 4, four teams including the Packers sit at 1-1-1. The Browns have a better record than the Patriots. The Chargers, Patriots and Falcons are all 1-2, while the Dolphins are 3-0 and the Buccaneers and Bears lead two of the league’s toughest divisions.

And, just like everyone predicted, Ryan Fitzpatrick leads the league in passing yards (1,230) and is second in touchdown passes (11).

Let’s begin the power rankings for Week 4. Where do the Packers stand after their Week 3 loss?
