Week 4 of the 2010 NFL season is in the books and it is that time of the week to update the NFL power rankings.

Another week, another set of surprises.

The Kansas City Chiefs are the final undefeated team in the NFL after both the Bears and Steelers lost their first game of the season.

Yes.

The Chiefs.

Week 5 will be tough for the Chiefs since they get to face the Indianapolis Colts, who just lost their second game of the season and Peyton Manning will be playing as hard as ever.

Without delay, I am Daniel Wolf and I am the AFC Featured Content Coordinator and Assignment Desk Editor for Bleacher Report and here are your NFL power rankings.

Last game: Lost 38-14 to Jets

Last week's ranking: 31

Bills drop because they are relying on quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick this season (look for a first round quarterback in the 2011 NFL Draft, guaranteed) and for unknown reasons the Bills cannot get C.J. Spiller, Marshawn Lynch, or Fred Jackson going in the running game.

Major problems in Buffalo.

This week: Home versus Jaguars

31. Carolina Panthers (0-4)

NEW ORLEANS - OCTOBER 03: Jimmy Clausen #2 of the Carolina Panthers calls a play in the huddle during the game against the New Orleans Saints at the Louisiana Superdome on October 3, 2010 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Saints defeated the Panthers 16-

Last game: Lost 16-14 to Falcons

Last week's ranking: 30

The Niners maintain their ranking from last week, but how about rookie safety Taylor Mays? A defensive touchdown and 11 total tackles really cements his place as a starter.

Terrell Owens had one heck of a game, but the Bengals still couldn't beat the Browns. Is this the beginning of the end?

Last game: Lost 41-14 to Pats

Last week's ranking: 14

Quarterback Chad Henne has to stay away from the interception bug if the Fins are to be a contender in the AFC East and keep up with both the Jets and Pats.

This week: BYE

14. Philadelphia Eagles (2-2)

PHILADELPHIA - OCTOBER 03: Michael Vick #7 of the Philadelphia Eagles runs the ball against the Washington Redskins on October 3, 2010 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)

Last game: Lost 17-12 to Redskins

Last week's ranking: 8

Kevin Kolb, Michael Vick, Kolb, Vick, and now Kolb again. Without Vick, the Eagles may continue to drop in the rankings.

A pissed off Peyton Manning is a scary thought and opposing defenses do not want Manning to get angry because that means he will play harder than ever to beat you.

Last game: BYE

Last week's ranking: 12

The Chiefs continue to slide up the list, and if they can beat the Colts this weekend, then they will be that much closer to being No. 1.

This week: At Colts

6. New Orleans Saints (3-1)

Last game: Won 16-14 over Panthers

Last week's ranking: 6

Saints maintain seeing as how they barely managed to beat a bad Panthers team, but not having the top two running backs on their depth chart didn't help either.

This week: At Cards

5. Baltimore Ravens (3-1)

PITTSBURGH - OCTOBER 03: Joe Flacco #5 of the Baltimore Ravens throws a pass behind LaMarr Woodley #56 of the Pittsburgh Steelers on October 3, 2010 at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Baltimore won the game 17-14. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty I

Last game: Won 17-14 over Steelers

Last week's ranking: 11

Joe Flacco is starting to get hot and that is dangerous for opposing defenses with all the weapons at Flacco's disposal.

This week: Home versus Broncos

4. NY Jets (3-1)

ORCHARD PARK, NY - OCTOBER 03: Mark Sanchez #6 of the New York Jets stands on the sidelines against the Buffalo Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium on October 3, 2010 in Orchard Park, New York. The Jets won 38-14. (Photo by Rick Stewart/Getty Images)

Last game: Won 38-14 over Bills

Last week's ranking: 7

Mark Sanchez may not be putting up the biggest numbers compared to other quarterbacks in the NFL, but he has a passer rating of 105.3 with eight touchdown and zero interceptions. Impressive.

This week: Home versus Vikings

3. Atlanta Falcons (3-1)

Last game: Won 16-14 over Niners

Last week's ranking: 5

The Falcons may have squeaked by the Niners, but they have also beat the Saints and put up an overtime fight against the Steelers in Week 1 too. The Falcons are the real deal.

Last game: Lost 17-14 to Ravens

Last week's ranking: 1

The Steelers are on a bye week now, but Big Ben comes back in Week 6 and he can easily jump start the Steelers' offense, which is much needed.

This week: BYE

1. Green Bay Packers (3-1)

Last game: Won 28-26 over Lions

Last week's ranking: 4

Yes, so the Packers barely beat a winless Lions team, but if you look at the three teams that were ranked ahead of the Packers last week, all three lost and the logical choice is to move the Packers up. Tough to really pick a true No. 1 this early in the 2010 season though.

This week: At Redskins
