NFL Power Rankings: 49ers and More Teams That Have Reached Their High Point

Take a picture of the power rankings this year 49er fans, this is as good as it is going to get for you this year.

The 49ers are shocking the NFL, but they are going to fall back to earth a bit. Here are two teams that will join them.

Power rankings according to ESPN.

No. 4 San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers have gotten their ground game. They combined this with their stellar run D to turn into a force.

They have catapulted to No. 4 on the power ranking by destroying the Buccaneers at home and handing the Lions their first loss on the road.

However, this is still a flawed team. As good as they are in the run game on offense and defense, they are poor in the pass game. This is a solid 49ers team, but they are not the fourth best in football.

No. 7 San Diego Chargers

The notoriously slow starting Chargers are off to their best start in years. However, they aren't playing as well as they have in the past. They have yet to beat a team with a winning record.

Their defense is struggling to stop the run. They are ranked 17th in rushing yards allowed despite playing with the lead most of the time. 

The passing offense is still very good, but it is not at the level it was last year. Their schedule is about to get tougher, and I expect the Chargers will struggle when they play stronger teams.

No. 22 Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks shocked the Giants their last time on the field. Their offense has sparked to life out of nowhere.

However, this is still a team with a young and struggling offense line and huge question marks at QB. They also have not been able to stop opposing teams' passing game as they are ranked 23rd in passing yards allowed per game, and they just lost their best corner, Marcus Trufant, for the season.
