NFL Power Rankings Week 4: Detroit Lions and 2 Teams That Will Rise
You can't be content with your station in life. That is what the Detroit Lions and two other teams will show us in week 4.
You can always do better. That is a lesson I learned when watching A Knight's Tale starring Heath Ledger; also that We Will Rock You was a song sung in Medieval Times.
Like a lowly peasant, the Detroit Lions have risen from the ashes of anonymity. In 2011, they have a real shot at something special. With some luck, this team could be playoff bound.

Projecting Every NFL Team's Starting Lineup 🔮

Rookie WRs Who Will Outplay Their Draft Value 📈
In Week 4, they will again show what they are made of a rise in the power rankings. Here's the rundown on this weekend's biggest movers and shakers.
1. Detroit Lions
The Lions will have no easy feat in the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. This is a banged-up Cowboys squad that has won their last two games based on grit and good fortune.
They have been begging for a better team to come along and smack them down once again. That team is the youthful and surging Detroit Lions.
2. Buffalo Bills
If we are talking about teams on the rise, we have to mention the Buffalo Bills. Ryan Fitzpatrick should have no issue picking apart the Bengals secondary with a growing list of targets.
Every week he seems to find a new receiver willing to step up on the field. The Bengals offense is in shambles, making this a good chance for the Bills' fourth win.
3. Washington Redskins
The Redskins took a hit on national TV when they lost in a gritty game to the Cowboys.
This is still a very much improved squad from last year. The best thing they can do at this point is play a worse squad to get them back on track. Enter the St. Louis Rams. The NFL punching bags will provide a gift of momentum to Washington.
