Week 3 Power Rankings

CBS' Prisco's Power Rankings (19. Lions: At 0-2, they have to be one of the biggest disappointments so far. They just haven't looked crisp at all so far.):   http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/25312083/nfl-power-rankings-time-to-start-paying-attention-to-cardinals-bengals

Shut Down Corner's Power Rankings (21. Detroit Lions (0-2, LW: 16): Matthew Stafford was hit pretty hard by the Vikings defense, and now there's no guaranteehe'll be ready to play in Week 3. Even if he plays, the Lions have to figure out how to use all this talent to get better on offense. What they've shown is not good enough.):   http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/nfl-power-rankings--how-did-the-chicago-bears-sink-to-the-bottom-232538701.html

Detroit Free Press Power Rankings (22. Lions (0-2, last week: 19): The Lions realistically could start the season 0-5 with the Broncos, Seahawks and Cardinals coming up next. My guess is they get one win in that group, though.):   http://www.freep.com/picture-gallery/sports/nfl/lions/2015/09/22/nfl-power-rankings-week-3/72620540/  

CBS' Kirwan's Power Rankings (22. Lions:  The Lions miss Ndamukong Suh. They went from allowing 69 yards rushing per game a year ago, to allowing 147 a game through two weeks this season. That combined with five giveaways is a killer for a team some thought were headed to the Super Bowl. Last Week: 20):  http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/writer/pat-kirwan/25312207/nfl-power-rankings-redskins-steelers-falcons-are-moving-on-up

SI Power Rankings (22. Lions (last week: 18, record: 0-2):  A garbage-time touchdown aside, the Lions' second-half possessions Sunday ended as follows: fumble, three-and-out, fumble, punt, interception (after pass interference wiped out an INT on the previous play). Add to the mess a defense missing injured DeAndre Levy as much, or more, than the departed Ndamukong Suh, and you've got a team on the ropes early.):  http://www.si.com/nfl/2015/09/22/nfl-week-3-power-rankings-patriots-jets-seahawks

PFF's Power Rankings (23. Detroit Lions: 4-3 defensive end Ezekiel Ansah has seven stops this season, the best for 4-3 defensive ends.):   https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/09/22/pff-nfl-power-rankings-for-week-3/

NFL.com Power Rankings (24. Lions: If Ameer Abdullah and Calvin Johnson are your two biggest playmakers, then giving them eight combined touches in the first half simply isn't going to cut it. That eighth touch was Johnson's touchdown reception from 11 yards out at the close of the first half. Offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi has to figure this out. The Lions didn't fare much better after halftime, going fumble, punt, fumble, punt, interception before getting a touchdown inDwayne Bowe Fantasy Memorial Time, i.e., garbage time.):   http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000536440/article/nfl-power-rankings-cardinals-enter-top-three-eagles-plummet

ESPN Power Rankings (24. Lions:  The Lions need to forget about their 0-2 start quickly because it doesn't get much easier. Detroit faces the Broncos, Seahawks and Cardinals in its next three games. (LW: 20)):  http://espn.go.com/nfl/powerrankings/_/year/2015/week/3

MLive Power Rankings (25. Detroit Lions (0-2): You can't even point to one thing. In Week 1, it was execution errors on third downs. In Week 2, the offensive and defensive lines both looked overmatched. Things could snowball quickly with a loss to Denver at home next week. (Last week: 16)):   http://www.mlive.com/lions/index.ssf/2015/09/nfl_power_rankings_week_3.html  

Foxsports Power Rankings (25. Lions: It’s starting to look like Joe Lombardi’s offensive scheme might not be a fit for quarterback Matthew Stafford’s skill set. However, it has been difficult to differentiate who is to blame because Detroit’s offensive line has surrendered so much pressure.): http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/power-rankings

NFL RealGM's Power Rankings (Lions ranked 26):   http://football.realgm.com/analysis/2677/NFL-Team-Rankings-Week-2

USA Today's Power Rankings (26. Lions:  It's not like we should be surprised that one of the league's best defenses last year is now one of the worst.):  http://www.usatoday.com/sports/nfl/rankings/

PFT's Power Rankings (27. Lions (0-2; No. 22): Ready or not, prime time is coming to Detroit.):  http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/09/22/pfts-week-three-power-rankings/
