With Week 4 of the 2025-26 NFL season now in the bag, all a football fan can say is, Jerry is gonna do Jerry!
In what was one of the NFL’s most anticipated games between two old and storied rivals, the “Micha Parsons Bowl” didn’t disappoint in ending in a 40-40 tie.
Like yeah. Seriously.
WWE couldn’t write a more perfect script.
In the history of their legendary rivalry that began with the “Ice Bowl” and most recently “The Catch”, now we can add “The Tie” in a game that resembled a real-life AI version of Madden.
In other news, Joe Flacco’d his way out of being a QB1 in what was truly an awful outing vs Detroit, Lamar Jackson once again came up short vs No.15, Sam Darnold looks like a legit NFL MVP candidate and the Eagles continue to set football back 100 years, and still win!
Here are my top ten power rankings for Week 5!
Editor’s Note: ( ) indicates the previous week’s ranking. 🙂
1.) Buffalo Bills: (4-0) (1): it’s getting kinda boring and anticlimactic watching the Bills every Sunday. Buffalo continues to look like HIM.
2.) Philadelphia Eagles: (4-0) (2): The Eagles continue to plod and plod in winning games in the lost boring ways possible. How soon A.J. Brown asks for a trade out of Philly, is something Eagles fans should start worrying about.
3.) Detroit Lions: (3-1) (4): Don’t look now, but the Lions are beginning to purr on all cylinders in the Motor City. Browns be damned!
4.) Los Angeles Chargers: (3-1) (3): Can’t really penalize a West Coast team traveling east and losing to the NFL’s newest version of Love Island meets the Batchelor in Jaxson Dart.
5.) Los Angeles Rams: (3-1) N/R: The OTHER L.A. team is quietly beginning to assert themselves out west. And the new Stafford-Nacua duo is really beginning to take off.
6.) Kansas City Chiefs: (2-2) (9): All it took was for Xavier Worthy to return and suddenly the Chiefs are beginning to look like….THE CHIEFFFFSS. Or is it playing against Lamar? Don’t know which?
7.) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: (3-1) (6): Took it on the chin from the defending champs in their own house. Still, Baker Mayfield is looking like a baller and rookie WR Emeka Ebguka is looking like a runway fave to win OROTY.
8.) Seattle Seahawks: (3-1) N/R: Sam Darnold must have talked to the Ghostbusters, because the only ghosts he saw in the Valley were those of the Cardinals secondary.
9.) Green Bay Packers: (2-1-1) (8): Perhaps the NFL’s oldest and most storied franchise can ask if they can just play all of their games at home.
Because, losing to the hapless Browns is one thing, but to tie the Boyz in Big D, tells me this team is still young and doesn’t know how to win away from Lambeau.
10.) Pittsburgh Steelers: (3-1) N/R: No Lamar. No Burrow and a 5’11, 205 pound rookie lefty in Cleveland. Pittsburgh has a golden path to both the AFC North crown, and possibly home-field advantage.
