NFL power rankings: Where 49ers sit after frustrating loss to Seahawks originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Ladies and gentlemen, the champs have been dethroned.
In these meaningless power rankings, that is. Unfortunately for the rest of the NFL, there still is a high likelihood the Kansas City Chiefs three-peat.
But we’re still a long ways away from that happening.
For now, let’s focus on discussing … the Jacksonville Jaguars! And the Tennessee Titans! And the Las Vegas Raiders! Isn’t that fun?
Not to worry, there still are plenty of good teams and exciting matchups worth recapping.
Here is where the 49ers sit after a frustrating 20-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and heading into “Monday Night Football.”
32. Jacksonville Jaguars (Last week: 31)
Record: 2-9
Neither you nor I need to spend any time discussing this team. If we pretend they don’t exist, they might go away.
31. New York Giants (Last week: 32)
Record: 2-8 (Bye week)
Is this the last week we ever have to watch Daniel Jones play football? Hope so! Not holding my breath, though.
30. Tennessee Titans (Last week: 30)
Record: 2-8
Will Levis and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine connected on a 98-yard touchdown. That’s fun. There’s not much else worth mentioning, other than that the second-year quarterback continues to cement his role as a career backup.
29. Carolina Panthers (Last week: 29)
Record: 3-7 (Bye week)
Bryce Young is playing much better, and it helps he has the newly signed Chuba Hubbard to lean on. It’s unclear what the future holds for him, but he deserves to start the rest of the season.
28. Las Vegas Raiders (Last week: 28)
Record: 2-8
I’m fully expecting Brock Bowers to break every single rookie tight end record this season. Absolute star in the making.
27. New England Patriots (Last week: 27)
Record: 3-8
More competitive football from Drake Maye in a loss. It definitely seems like he’s the guy, and they’re doing everything they can to tank while establishing a good culture.
