NFL power rankings: Where 49ers stand after win vs. Patriots

NFL power rankings: Where 49ers stand after win vs. Patriots originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

We’re one quarter through the 2024 NFL season and the league’s true heirarchy is beginning to take shape.

Early surprise contenders are starting to look like pretenders, the top teams continue to show their vulnerabilities, while the worst teams continue to be … terrible. Shocker!

Can the Chiefs’ offense overcome the loss of Rashee Rice? Did the vaunted Vikings defense finally show cracks in a near-second-half collapse? Are the Bears finally ready to take off?

Here’s where the 49ers and the rest of the league stand entering the “Monday Night Football” doubleheader:

32. Tennessee Titans (Last week: 32)

Record: 0-3

The hilarious Will Levis picture of the week has been the highlight of their season so far. They might not have a better chance to notch that first win than against a Dolphins team on their third-string quarterback.

31. Carolina Panthers (Last week: 31)

Andy Dalton will allow them to tank with pride. Another watchable week of football from Carolina. They’re doing the bare minimum now.

Record: 1-3

29. Denver Broncos (Last week: 28)

Record: 2-2

At one point in the first half, Bo Nix had completed seven passes for negative yards. Truly impressive. This is the worst offense in the league. But … they won?

28. Jacksonville Jaguars (Last week: 29)

Record: 0-4

A step in the right direction for Trevor Lawrence but he’s not beating the fraud allegations yet. Is it Tank Bigsby time in Duval?

27. New York Giants (Last week: 27)

Record: 1-3

They hung around in a game against the Cowboys, which probably is a knock against the Cowboys more than a compliment to New York. Malik Nabers might break rookie records this season if Daniel Jones continues to force-feed him.

26. Miami Dolphins (Last week: 23)

Record: 1-2

They’re…
