NFL Power Rankings, Week 3: Team EPA/Play Rankings
The National Football League is insanity. The pecking order continues to shake up dramatically on a weekly basis. Winless teams coming away with shocking upsets and surprise “undefeateds” dominate the headlines, and questions abound for a large middle class of squads looking to pull things together in the coming weeks.
So how do the post-Week 3 Rankings shake out? In this week’s edition I rank all 32 teams and list where they stand in offensive, defensive, and overall EPA/play through 3 games. EPA/play is a fantastic metric for determining actual team efficiency. For an in-depth look at what EPA/play really is and how it is calculated, click HERE.
