The latest NFL power rankings heading into Week 4 feature the Buffalo Bills maintaining the top spot despite five turnovers in a 24-16 victory over the Chargers, fueled by James Cook rushing for 154 yards. Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers climbed to second after Brock Purdy threw for 297 yards and four touchdowns to hold off the Cardinals 36-30.

The Kansas City Chiefs also jumped three spots into third following a comfortable 24-10 road win over the Dolphins, where Patrick Mahomes tossed two touchdowns and Rashee Rice caught seven passes for 88 yards. Further down the list, Sam Darnold returned from injury for Seattle with 379 passing yards and four scores, but Marcus Mariota led the Commanders to a 33-31 home triumph.

The Rams slipped to 1-2 after blowing a lead against the Broncos, who erased a deficit with 30 second-half points despite Matt Stafford throwing for 390 yards. The Baltimore Ravens secured a dramatic road win over the Cowboys when Tyler Loop converted a 56-yard field goal following a late drive orchestrated by Dak Prescott and a 27-yard completion from Lamar Jackson to Zay Flowers.

Finally, the undefeated Minnesota Vikings climbed to seventh behind Brian Flores's defense in a 23-16 win against the Buccaneers.
