Bengals the Biggest Losers Due to Burrow Injury

It’s a nightmare, but not unfamiliar, storyline for Cincinnati Bengals fans. Start QB Joe Burrow, who was a top-five favorite in the NFL MVP odds, suffered a significant toe injury on Sunday against the Jaguars, one that required surgery and will keep him out at least three months. (For those keeping track at home, that means Burrow won’t be back until Week 16 at the earliest.)

While backup Jake Browning had his moments in a 31-27 comeback win over the Jags, the also threw three interceptions and obviously represents a significant downgrade from former first-overall pick Burrow.

The Bengals were 10th in the Week 2 Power Rankings and have fallen all the way to 20th, despite sporting a 2-0 record. No other team fell more than five spots (Bears, Steelers).

Colts Biggest Risers After Last-Second Comeback Win Over Broncos

The Indianapolis Colts jumped up seven spots from 23rd to 16th thanks to an impressive 29-28 win over the Denver Broncos, which moved Indy to 2-0, a game ahead of Jacksonville at the top of the AFC South standings and two clear of winless Houston and Tennessee.

The Daniel Jones renaissance, or perhaps naissance since he never posted a passer rating better than 92.5 in his six-year career, is real. The 2019 sixth-overall pick has completed 71.4% of his passes for 588 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions.

Jonathan Taylor is making an early bid for Offensive Player of the Year, with 236 rushing yards and 313 all-purpose yards through two weeks, which leads the entire NFL.

Other teams making significant upwards moves in the NFL Week 3 Power Rankings include:

• Buccaneers (from 14th to 10th)
• Falcons (from 22nd to 18th)
• Rams (from 11th to 8th)
