Week three of the 2021 NFL season had some exciting finishes, but the biggest surprise of the weekend was the Los Angeles Rams defeating the defending Super Bowl Champions 34-24 in thrilling fashion.

(Spoiler Alert)

As you can suspect, with their loss to the Rams, Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are no longer the No.1 team in our power rankings. Unfortunately, like the Bucs, the Miami Dolphins also continue to plummet down our week four NFL power rankings, as well.

But enough with the spoilers, let’s take a look at our Week 4 NFL Power Rankings.

Our power rankings on The Phinsider are slightly different than other places around the web. Instead of just taking last week’s rankings, moving teams that won up and teams that loss down, we start with a clean slate every week. Then, Josh Houtz and Kevin Nogle alternate picks in a draft-style rankings, answering the question, “Who will win the Super Bowl?” It can lead to some dramatic changes in the rankings sometimes, but it can also lead to a team staying in place, despite maybe a poor showing the previous weekend.

Nogle is busy, so I (@Houtz) decided to battle on like Hans Solo. If you don’t like one of the rankings, yell at me. But I must warn you, I saw the second Wreck-It Ralph and sometimes I don’t read the comments. Now on to my rankings:
