Cincinnati is the top team this week, after a 3-0 start that includes the only losses for Baltimore and Atlanta so far this season. Their margin of victory has grown each week, and with a week off, they should be able to hold on to #1 for another week, barring blowout losses by any of their previous opponents.
Atlanta made a huge move this week after destroying Tampa Bay on Thursday night, running up a 56-0 lead before calling off the dogs in the fourth quarter. The Falcons were hitting on all cylinders, scoring touchdowns on offense, defense, and special teams, including Devin Hester's record-setting 20th career return for touchdown.
Last week's #1, San Diego, didn't necessarily do anything wrong this week, beating a good Buffalo team by 12 on the road, but strength of schedule numbers for the other teams trumped the Chargers' close wins over Seattle and Buffalo and loss to Arizona. They look like they'll tumble even more next week, because their strength of schedule is going to take a huge hit after hosting incompetent Jacksonville.
