Conor Orr’s Week 4 NFL Power Rankings: Bills Take Over Top Spot (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome back to another week of NFL Power Rankings. There is much to discuss. To get you caught up on everything, be sure you are subscribed to The MMQB Podcast audio version, as well as our YouTube channel. This was a weekend that provided the full NFL experience. A large quantity of great games coming down to the wire, a few high-profile officiating blunders that could alter the course of the season, Tom Brady calling an interception a Meatball Sub and more Case Keenum than you probably ordere
The Giants’ Trade for J.J. McCarthy Is a Galaxy Brain Move That Goes Too Far (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome, welcome. Let’s do away with the niceties, put down our coats and get to the reason we’re all gathered here today: I’m not sure it’s possible to dislike a trade more than I dislike the one the Giants just swung with the Vikings for former first-round pick J.J. McCarthy. In an attempt to salvage the first season of the John Harbaugh era while sitting at 2–1, with upcoming games against the bottom-feeding Cardinals and Jayden Daniels–less Commanders, and with a glut of more capable veteran
Why the Raiders’ 3–0 Start is For Real, But the 49ers’ May Not Be (opens the original)
Read excerpt

The songbirds sing of lovers’ past, with your idiot team being the only one that has lost in that situation. I never know what to d
The Jim Harbaugh–Mike McDaniel–Justin Herbert Marriage Is a Failure So Far (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A whip-smart, iconoclastic youngster with a pronounced sense of style joins a group of talented individuals bent on changing the world, but the entire plot goes south when we discover that, beneath all of the hubris and personality, no real plan exists as to how they plan to accomplish the goal. No, this is not the Netflix one-liner on the Theranos documentary about the fake blood-drawing machine. It’s an introduction to a piece about the Mike McDaniel–era Chargers, a team that has taken our sen
Why the Jaxson Dart and Jayden Daniels Injuries Could Completely Upend the NFL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Back in 2023, the season when Aaron Rodgers made it precisely four plays before reminding Jets fans of their cursed position in this universe, we had something approaching an epidemic of quarterback injuries to high-profile veteran players. Joe Burrow hurt his wrist and missed seven games, Kyler Murray tore his ACL and missed half of the season, Deshaun Watson missed 11 games with a shoulder injury, and Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles and missed nine games. This was reminiscent of the 2017 season
