Tampa Bay were 0-4 and ten-point underdogs in Dallas on NFL TNF, starting a rookie quarterback. They won 24-16.<\/strong>

That is the season in one result. Last year’s fourteen playoff teams are 30-26, the worst start by a returning playoff field in fifteen years;<\/strong> five teams are winless, and three of the league’s four best point differentials belong to teams nobody picked in August.

Three sides are undefeated. Only two of them belong in the top four.<\/strong>

Here is where all thirty-two actually stand at the quarter mark.

These rankings weigh three things: point differential, record, and the quality of who you beat.<\/strong> Differential leads, because four games of close results tell you less than four games of margins. Where the ranking departs from the standings, the reason is stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. San Francisco 49ers \u2014 4-0, +58<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best record and the best point differential in football, built while the injury list grew every week.<\/strong>

Nick Bosa is out with a calf. Ricky Pearsall is gone for the season. Rookie De’Zhaun Stribling is out ten weeks.<\/strong> San Francisco has not lost a game. 122 points scored, 64 conceded;<\/strong> nobody else in the league is top three in both columns.

Brock Purdy is an early MVP candidate<\/strong>, and the 24-14 win over Denver mattered because it was the first evidence this team can win on defence and special teams when the offence is ordinary.

The case against:<\/strong> the schedule has been manageable, and the NFC West is about to get harder. A +58 differential against the teams they have played is not the same as a +58 against the ones they have not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Kansas City Chiefs \u2014 4-0, +41<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Four wins, four conference wins, two divisional wins, and the hardest slate of any unbeaten team.<\/strong>

Kenneth Walker III leads the NFL with 537 rushing yards<\/strong> and six total touchdowns, and the effect goes beyond the ground game; a credible run threat has let Patrick Mahomes attack deep again.

The 30-27 win at Las Vegas is the best result any 4-0 team owns<\/strong>, against a side sitting at 3-1 with a +31 differential.

The case against:<\/strong> the receiving room is thinning. Tyquan Thornton has a dislocated left ankle, and Rashee Rice a hamstring.<\/strong> The bye this week is well timed, and they will need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Jacksonville Jaguars \u2014 3-1, +51<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They have conceded nine first-half points all season.<\/strong>

Not nine a game. Nine in total, across four games.<\/strong> The best point differential in the AFC belongs to a team whose defence nobody was discussing in August.

The hype was about Year 2 of the Liam Coen offence. The story is defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile.<\/strong> Jacksonville are top eight in the NFL in sacks, run defence, turnovers, red-zone efficiency and third-down defence<\/strong>, com o second-best run defence in football at 74.3 yards a game<\/strong>.

They won 22-17 at Cincinnati despite 125 penalty yards, their most in a single game since 2019.<\/strong>

The case against:<\/strong> 104 points scored is middling, and a defence this good this early has further to fall than to climb. The one defeat is the only data point suggesting they are beatable, and it is four weeks old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Chicago Bears \u2014 3-1, +47<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Three different quarterbacks have started. The results have not changed.<\/strong>

Caleb Williams put up 59 points on Carolina before his hamstring injury. Case Keenum beat Philadelphia. Tyson Bagent handled the Jets 23-12.<\/strong>

That is because the team around the position is doing the work.<\/strong> Chicago are No. 1 in the NFL in total yards, first downs, and time of possession<\/strong>, and own the league’s best rushing offence at 785 yards.<\/strong> Ben Johnson has built something that does not depend on who takes the snap.

The case against:<\/strong> the 59-point game was against a Carolina side that also lost 34-3 to a team with no quarterback, and it inflates the differential meaningfully. Strip that result, and the profile is good rather than elite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Minnesota Vikings \u2014 4-0, +35<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They are undefeated, and they have scored one offensive touchdown since Week 1.<\/strong>

Minnesota’s defence ranks No. 1 in the NFL in expected points added.<\/strong> Brian Flores is blitzing on 68% of snaps<\/strong>. The special teams unit ranks N\u00ba 2<\/strong>: Will Reichard is 12 for 12 on field goals<\/strong>, and Myles Price is averaging 30.2 yards per kickoff return and 20.1 per punt return.<\/strong>

86 points scored and 51 conceded.<\/strong> They win 15-10, and they win 4-0.

The case against:<\/strong> it is the whole ranking. A team that cannot score is one injury on defence from being ordinary, and 21.5 points a game does not survive January. This is the unbeaten record most likely to break first<\/strong>, and it is why they sit fifth rather than second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Seattle Seahawks \u2014 3-1, +32<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The defending champions are 3-1 with a +32 differential and almost nothing has gone to plan.<\/strong>

Sam Darnold injured his glute on the fifth play of the season<\/strong> and missed most of two games. First-round running back Jadarian Price fumbled in consecutive weeks and is now on IR.<\/strong> They set a franchise record with 150 penalty yards<\/strong> in Week 4 and won anyway, 30-23 at home over the Chargers.

Drew Lock’s fill-in stint was excellent, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba is making a serious case as the best receiver in football.<\/strong>

The case against:<\/strong> winning while this disorganised is a skill with a ceiling. The penalties and the fumbles are not noise at this volume, and the quarterback situation is still unresolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Las Vegas Raiders \u2014 3-1, +31<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Priced at 125-1 in August. They are 3-1 with a +31 differential, and their only defeat was by three points to the best offence in football.<\/strong>

Kirk Cousins is playing at a high level,<\/strong> and first-time head coach Klint Kubiak has a team that has been competitive in every quarter it has played. With the Chargers 0-4 and Denver 2-2, a playoff run in Year 1 is no longer a strange thing to say.<\/strong>

The case against:<\/strong> 115 points scored against 84 conceded is a good profile, not a dominant one, and three of their four games came against teams currently under .500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
