As week three of the 2007 NFL season comes to a close, many of the undefeated were defeated: only five teams remain unbeaten. While it is still too early for the 1972 Miami Dolphins to start breaking out in a sweat, these teams are off to a great start. As for the rest of the NFL, some teams are good, some are bad, and some are just plain hopeless.Week Three:
1. New England Patriots (3-0) (Previous rank: 1): Buffalo often plays well against the Patriots: when the Bills had a lead early on, it looked as though Buffalo was out to make a statement. But, before they could say much of anything, the Pats shut 'em up. With New England winning 38-14 the first two weeks, and 38-7 this week, we can't help but see a pattern: two weeks from now, they will defeat their opponents 38 to 3.5.
2. Indianapolis Colts (3-0) (Previous rank: 2): It was a pretty quiet day for Peyton Manning, not throwing for his usual one thousand yards and seven touchdowns. A contest that relied on the running and kicking game helped put the Colts where they are used to being: undefeated. Still, their special teams looked anything but. This game might have been different had Houston not had so many players out with injuries.3. Dallas Cowboys (3-0) (Previous rank: 3): Not only did the Dallas Cowboys beat the Bears on the road, but they made them look the furthest thing from ferocious. The duo of Terrell Owens and Tony Romo is going to be a hard one for defenses to stop. There isn't a better team in the NFC right now; these Cowboys aren't horsing around. They are here to win.
4. Pittsburgh Steelers (3-0) (Previous rank: 4): Okay, okay. We get it: Pittsburgh is dominating their opponents. With another solid game from Willie Parker, and a stellar defensive showing, the 49ers struck steel instead of gold. Pittsburgh looks good, but let's wait until they play a real contender before we jump on their bandwagon.
