As the list of Top 10 Best NFL teams continues to shuffle each week, the Lions have an opportunity to solidify themselves as one of the teams to beat in the NFC in week 4 against division rivals the Green Bay Packers.

They lost to an Arizona Cardinals team expected to struggle for most of the 2023 NFL season. Nonetheless the Cowboys roster is still loaded with playmakers on both sides of the ball while Micah Parsons continues to play as one of the best players in the NFL on either the offensive or defensive side of the football.

Entering week 4 the Cowboys currently rank 5th in the NFL in scoring while averaging 28.7 points per game and 354.3 yards per game.

The Chiefs didn’t disappoint as they posted a 41-10 win over the Bears to push their season record to 2-1 on the year. A team built around their offense and All-Pro quarterback Patrick Mahomes has relied more on their defense to open up the 2023 NFL season. The Chiefs defense entered week 4 allowing just 13.3 points per game and 280.7 yards of total offense.

Meanwhile the Chiefs offense has gotten back on track with the return of Travis Kelce to the lineup who missed the team’s opening loss to the Lions. The Chiefs will head to New York to take on a strong defensive minded Jets team this weekend.

3. San Francisco 49ers

Week 4 NFL Matchup: Arizona Cardinals (1-2)

Previous Ranking: 3

Record: 3-0

As you start to look at the three best teams in the NFL each are well worth mentioning as teams worthy of the top overall spot. Nonetheless only an NFL team can land at the top while the San Francisco 49ers take home the third spot.

The 49ers are an early season favorite to compete for the NFC Championship as well as a chance to head to the Super Bowl. After trading for Christian McCaffrey last season, the 49ers offense is as well rounded as any in the NFL.

With Brock Purdy protecting the football and finding open receivers, McCaffrey and other stars including Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk creating mismatches in the passing game.

On the defensive side of the football the 49ers are allowing just 14 points per game to go along with just 258.3 total yards of offense over their first three NFL games of the season.

2. Philadelphia Eagles

Week 4 NFL Matchup: Washington Commanders (2-1)

Previous Ranking: 1

Record: 3-0

After holding onto the top spot over the past few weeks the Philadelphia Eagles slide to number two despite being tied for the most wins (3) to open up the season.

The Eagles who have yet to lose have found ways to win in each of their first three games. This is while struggling on both sides of the football at times in each win. Nonetheless the Eagles have one of the best constructed NFL rosters in the league while seeing production out of a long list of players on both sides of the football.

This includes off-season acquisition D’Andre Swift who has gotten off to a fast start. He’s rushed for 308 yards on 45 carries to go along with one rushing touchdown.

Meanwhile the Eagles defense has relied on big plays including a key Darius Slay Jr interception return for a touchdown during week 1. Currently the Eagles sit tied for second in the NFL with eight defensive takeaways including six fumble recoveries.

1. Miami Dolphins

Week 4 NFL Matchup: @ Buffalo Bills (2-1)

Previous Ranking: 4

Record: 3-0

After laying 70 points on the board last week the Miami Dolphins have climbed up the rankings board while taking over the top spot among the best teams in the NFL.

The Dolphins have been brilliant on the offensive side of the ball. This is while doing things no other team has done in the history of the NFL to open the season. Headlining their offense attack has been the quarterback/wide receiver duo of Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill.

Tagovailoa currently ranks second in the NFL with 1,024 passing yards while Hill ranks second in the NFL with 412 receiving yards. As an entire unit the Dolphins offense has been unstoppable.

They’ve lead the league in total yards per game (550.3), passing yards per game (362), rushing yards (188.3) and points per game (43.3). Meanwhile the team’s defense has done just enough to slow down opposing offenses despite being on the field early and often this season.
