Predominantly Orange Week Four NFL Power Rankings
By Steven Kriz
9. Pittsburgh Steelers (3)
Was it unthinkable to think that the Eagles could win a home game against the Steelers? No—but what NOBODY saw coming was a complete domination on both sides of the ball by the Eagles. The Steelers couldn’t run, they were bogged down in the passing game, and they couldn’t stop the Eagles all day long. This doesn’t help a Steelers team trying to keep up with the Broncos and Patriots in the AFC. The good news for the Steelers? Reinforcements are on the way on offense as LeVeon Bell’s suspension is now served.
10. Cincinnati Bengals (8)

Losing to the Broncos is not the worst thing in the world—but being 1-2 is concerning for a Cincinnati team that has lost their first game in the playoffs the past 5 seasons. Going on the road in the playoffs and winning is a tough task for a team that cannot seem to get over the hump, so every victory counts for this team.
11. Arizona Cardinals (7)
What’s wrong with Carson Palmer? Aside from a week two gem against the Buccaneers that cannot seem to stop anyone, he hasn’t seemed right since the beginning of the playoffs last year. Interceptions are a huge problem for him, and will be the demise of this team if it keeps up. Were the playoffs a season ago the true beginning of the end for Palmer? Stay tuned.
12. Kansas City Chiefs (13)
The Chiefs have been a bit Jeckyl and Hyde this season—from game-to-game and even within single games. Sunday they forced Ryan Fitzpatrick into six interceptions—yes six. When the Chiefs secondary is playing like that, they are very hard to beat.
