Stephen A. Smith discusses what impressed him most about the Eagles' win over the Rams. (2:36)
Week 3 brought even more excitement to this NFL season, with special teams getting shining moments during the Sunday slate. Multiple games had blocked field goals late in the fourth quarter, including on the last play of the Eagles-Rams matchup. Four other contests were decided on time-expiring field goals.
But for this week's Power Rankings, we asked our NFL Nation reporters to take a closer look at another unit: the defense. From third-down stops to forcing turnovers, we named the biggest issue on defense for every team.
NFL Power Rankings, Week 4: Lions, Chargers hit top 5; Ravens, Packers slide
If you were hoping for continuity in the Power Rankings, this edition isn't for you.
No part of the league hierarchy is above scrutiny after a week when everything was seemingly thrown into the blender.
The Packers shockingly lost in Cleveland. The Jets nearly stunned the Buccaneers. Carolina blanked Atlanta, 30-zilch. The Colts remained white hot. The Texans lost another one.
Then came the Monday night statement, with the Lions out-Ravening the Ravens at Baltimore in a terrific all-around performance from Detroit. Dan Campbell's group isn't going anywhere.
Oh, and there were four blocked field-goal tries across the league on Sunday, two of which were run back for touchdowns and all of which occurred at critical points in the fourth quarter. The Rams-Eagles instant classic provided us with two of those swats and Jordan Davis' epic return. Just batty stuff.

Week 4 NFL Power Rankings: 49ers, Bears rise as injuries take their toll on QBs – The Athletic
Editorâs note: This article is part of The Athletic NFL Power Rankings. Everyâ week, Chad Graff and Josh Kendall rank and analyze all 32 teams from first to worst.
It was only Week 3, and already five teams were without their starting quarterback. For three of them, it hardly mattered. Mac Jones and the San Francisco 49ers beat the Arizona Cardinals, Marcus Mariota and the Washington Commanders beat the Las Vegas Raiders, and Carson Wentz and the Minnesota Vikings beat Jake Browning and the Cincinnati Bengals.
Still, questions remain for those teams and others at the sportâs most important position. So this week, the Power Rankings will be gauging how confident each team should be in its quarterback situation looking ahead to Week 4.
