Week 4 NFL Power Rankings

Russell Wilson

27. Minnesota Vikings (Last week: 22)

Matt Cassel is out, meaning it’s time to usher in the Teddy Bridgewater Era in Minnesota. Bridgewater fared pretty well against the Saints defense, especially considering the lack of reps he received leading up to Sunday. It’ll be interesting to see how the game plan changes for the rookie, and how the offense responds.

What to know: Bridgewater did well, but another first-round pick may have done ever better. Anthony Barr earned positive grades against the run and as a pass rusher, via Pro Football Focus, picking up a hurry, a batted pass, and his first career sack.
