NFL Power Rankings Review and Reaction to 2020 League Standings
The third week of the 2020 NFL season The champion Kansas City Chiefs did battle with a Baltimore Ravens team that hadn't lost a game in nearly year in matchup that last two league .
While the Chiefs remain kings of the proverbial mountain, one blowout loss doesn't mean that the Ravens aren't legitimate title contenders. They're still one of the best teams in the NFL, though they've now slipped behind the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North race In addition Broncos 37,
Jets 28 Sam Darnold would be getting some reinforcements back this week after missing most of his supporting cast in an utterly embarrassing loss to the Colts last week. Darnold, with some help, would surely outplay his counterpart in this game as the former No.
3 overall pick in the NFL Draft. The opposing quarterback was the undrafted Brett Rypien, nephew of former Redskin quarterback Mark Rypien. The USC product had a big edge over the Boise State alumnus, at least on paper.
Darnold opened this game on a very high note, as he rushed for a 46-yard touchdown on the opening drive. Darnold is not known as a scrambler, yet he somehow avoided linebacker Alexander Johnson on a blitz, and then ran by the entire bewildered defense for a score. Unfortunately for Darnold, it was downhill from there. He was injured on a Johnson sack later in the quarter, thanks to him holding the ball for an eternity in the pocket even though he had an open receiver at his disposal.
Darnold later showed some poor accuracy, as he sailed some passes and even had difficulty connecting on 3-yard passes to his teammates in the flat. He made a huge mistake in the fourth quarter when he got rattled by Denver's pass rush and tripped over his own two feet.

I can make educated guesses based on team situation, supporting cast, and research about the prospect’s character and work ethic, but there’s a reason teams make so many mistakes every year. You simply don’t know for sure how a player will react to being a pro.
Injuries are also a huge factor in the fate of a player and impossible to predict accurately. Nevertheless, this is a fun exercise and gives us a chance to review how each team approached the draft.
