The Washington Commanders sit atop the NFC East standings at 3-1, a surprise to just about everyone — except, perhaps, Colin Cowherd.
Yet the early-season excellence of Washington’s offense behind historic performances from rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels cannot be ignored, which is why the Commanders have now made their way into the Herd Heirarchy heading into Week 5.
Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens have surged after two impressive wins following an 0-2 start, while the New York Jets tumbled out of the rankings an ugly loss to the Denver Broncos. The Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers also gained ground on the Kansas City Chiefs after huge wins last week.
Check out Cowherd’s latest rankings below!
Herd Hierarchy Week 5
10. Seattle Seahawks (3-1, Last week 5)
Super Bowl odds: +4000
Cowherd’s thoughts: “I thought Seattle, missing their four best defensive, linemen looked great. Geno Smith, that dude throws a beautiful ball [and] is totally in tune with DK Metcalf. I like their running backs. I’m sorry, Geno leads the NFL in passing yards [and is] second in completion percentage. [Running back] Kenneth Walker, I was blown away. Seattle didn’t have their four best defensive linemen against the best O-line in the league. You knew they wouldn’t make stops. I thought Geno was exceptional on a Monday night on the road.”
Herd Hierarchy: Vikings reach Top 3, Commanders leap into Colin’s Top 10 of Week 5
9. Houston Texans (3-1, LW unranked)
Super Bowl odds: +1500
Cowherd’s thoughts: “Texans’ only loss came on the road to the Vikings. They got housed, didn’t have Joe Mixon, but they’re a top eight offense, top five defense, and I love C.J. Stroud. Joe Mixon is coming back. C.J. Stroud is a young quarterback. Did you see Caleb Williams this week when he got a run game with D’Andre Swift? Oh, Caleb looked pretty good. As good as C.J. Stroud is, and he’s got his weapons like Nico Collins, young quarterbacks especially – they need their running backs.”
