NFL power rankings: Where 49ers stand after collapse vs. Rams originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
If there’s one takeaway from the first three weeks of the 2024 NFL season, it’s that the mantra “on any given Sunday” could not be more true.
Sam Darnold and the juggernaut (?) Minnesota Vikings continued to roll. Derek Carr and the New Orleans Saints’ offense were served a slice of humble pie while two Super Bowl hopefuls were at the center of two epic comeback attempts.
Here’s where the 49ers and the rest of the league stand entering the Monday night doubleheader:
32. Tennessee Titans (Last week: 29)
Record: 0-3
Backbreaking Will Levis turnovers. Drink. Ugly showing from the Tony Pollard-Tyjae Spears tandem. Gross offense is being played in the Music City.
31. Carolina Panthers (Last week: 32)
Record: 1-2
The Andy Dalton Era is here and it’s beautiful. Well, by comparison, anything is.
30. New England Patriots (Last week: 28)
Record: 1-2
Whoever plays quarterback behind this offensive line is getting demolished week in and week out. An ineffective Rhamondre Stevenson leaves you with next to nothing offensively.
29. Denver Broncos (Last week: 31)
Record: 1-2

28. New York Giants (Last week: 30)
Record: 1-2
Occasionally there is a good Daniel Jones game. This was one of them. Malik Nabers continues to be awesome.
27. Las Vegas Raiders (Last week: 26)
Record: 1-2
Dalton is a big upgrade over Bryce Young, but it’s still the Panthers. Really? Only the Raiders would get embarrassed by Carolina after an impressive win over the Ravens last week.
26. Washington Commanders (Last week: 27)
Record: 1-1
Rookie Jayden Daniels has been impressive thus far and has a decent supporting cast around him. This is a rebuilding team heading in the right direction but they have a big test this week in a Bengals team with something to prove.
25. Jacksonville Jaguars (Last week: 25)
Record:…
