NFL Standings Entering Week 4: All Records and Division Leaders as We Enter New NFL Week

Sep 26, 2013 02:35 PM EDT

The NFL Week 4 starts on Thursday as the San Francisco 49ers take on the St. Louis Rams. Check out where all NFL teams lie entering Week 4 of the season. 

AFC East 
Miami Dolphins: 3-0
New England Patriots: 3-0
New York Jets: 2-1
Buffalo Bills: 1-2 

All of these records are surprising granted that; 1) Tom Brady does not know his receivers, 2) the Jets are relying on a rookie quarterback to lead their offense and 3) the Dolphins, well, they are the Dolphins. The only team in Miami having decent seasons are the Heat and it seems like Florida teams spend years rebuilding rather than competing. However, the Dolphins are bringin change to the NFL and Ryan Tannehill is showing that his rookie campaign was not a mistake and that he is able to adapt and mature.  

AFC North 
Cincinnati Bengals: 2-1
Baltimore Ravens: 2-1
Cleveland Browns: 1-2
Pittsburgh Steelers: 0-3
 
The Ravens kept pace with the Bengals, who stole one from the Green Bay Packers in Week 3. The Ravens were able to tally up 30 points as their defense once again held their opponent under 10 points. The Steelers are struggling as they have yet to win a game.  Got a playmaker? No, the Steelers do not and that is why they are struggling. The way Big Beg is getting knocked around, it seems like he will be missing some time at around Week 8. 

AFC South 
Houston Texans: 2-1
Indianapolis Colts: 2-1
Tennessee Titans: 2-1
Jacksonville Jaguars: 0-3
 
The Texans looked mighty human against the Ravens in Week 3. Meanwhile, the Titans' defense was able to stop a San Diego Chargers team that had lit up scoreboards in the first two weeks of the season. The Colts shocked the 49ers, finishing the game scoring 20 unanswered points. 

AFC West 
Denver Broncos: 3-0
Kansas City Chiefs: 3-0
San Diego Chargers: 1-2
Oakland Raiders: 1-2  
Peyton Manning or the Chiefs' defense, which will bust first? Manning was all over the Oakland Raiders, while the Chiefs made the Philadelphia Eagles hurry-up offense look pedestrian. The Chargers have to change wokr on their defensive effort as the red hot Broncos and Chiefs are off to a fast start.

NFC East  
Dallas Cowboys: 2-1
Philadelphia Eagles: 1-2
New York Giants: 0-3
Washington Redskins: 0-3

Romo is giving the Cowboys consistency at the quarterback position. He only went for 210 passing yards, but he threw three touchdowns. The rushing game resurrected as DeMarco Murray rushed for 175 yards. The rest of the East looks weak. The Eagles can't play defense, while the Giants and Redskins are far removed from the teams they were last season. 

NFC North 
Chicago Bears: 3-0
Detroit Lions: 2-1
Green Bay Packers: 1-2
Minnesota Vikings: 0-3
 
The Bears seem to have things in order up north. They are not cruising yet, but they are winning. The Lions are right on their tail, but with the Bears' amazing defense and steady offense, they look ready to stay in control as the Packers will have some ground to cover.  

NFC South 
New Orleans Saints: 3-0
Carolina Panthers: 1-2
Atlanta Falcons: 1-2
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 0-3
 
The Panthers had to win in Week 3, at least for the sake of the division. The Falcons came across a streaking Dolphins team that made a late run to win that game. The Panthers' victory gives the South some balance. The Saints look unstoppable once again, which is not a good sign for the rest of the league.  

NFC West 
Seattle Seahawks: 3-0
St. Louis Rams: 1-2
San Francisco 49ers: 1-2
Arizona Cardinals: 1-2
 
Not only were the Seahawks at home, they played the Jaguars A.K.A. the laughing stock of football or a team in rebuilding mode. The Seahawks crushed the Jaguars 45-17, taking a game and a half lead lead in the standings over everybody. The 49ers can't win, the Cardinals are still getting adjusted to their players and the Rams are trying to hang in there. 

Week 4 begins today with the San Francisco 49ers and the St. Louis Rams going head-to-head. Here are predcitions. That means somebody will NOT have a losing record in the NFC West aside from the charging Seahawks.
