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.

Let's get right into it with our No. 1-ranked team. Our power panel of more than 80 writers, editors and TV personalities evaluated how NFL teams stack up against one another, ranking them from 1 to 32.
