NFL power rankings entering Week 3 of the 2025 season (previous rank in parentheses):
1. Philadelphia Eagles (1): They have yet to flash their 2024 dominance, and QB Jalen Hurts has done little with his arm so far. But the reigning champs are 2-0, an undefeated mark that will be difficult to maintain given their next three opponents were all playoff teams last season − starting with a Rams team that nearly knocked Philly out of the postseason.
2. Buffalo Bills (2): After trampling the Jets, they now start a three-game homestand against opponents with a combined 1-5 record and don't see another 2024 playoff squad (K.C.) until November. Sure feels like a fast track to the AFC's No. 1 seed.
3. Green Bay Packers (3): How well does DE Micah Parsons fit into this unit? Per PFF, he's on (a very early) pace for 85 pressures even though he's barely played more than half the Pack's snaps.
4. Baltimore Ravens (4): They ran for 45 yards Sunday, their lowest total in games played by Lamar Jackson since he became QB1 seven years ago. Yet somehow their point total (41) against Cleveland nearly matched the rushing output. But no more coasting for the Ravens, who are about to face 2024 division winners each of the next four weeks.
