NFL Power Rankings Week 3: Can anyone unseat NFL's top 2 teams?
It's not hyperbolic to say that the Week 3 matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens may be the most important game of the regular season.
A season ago, the Ravens went 14-2, and led by eventual NFL MVP Lamar Jackson, entered the postseason with the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. Of course, they didn't make good on it, allowing 2018 NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs to win two home playoff games, before defeating the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV.
Not only do the two teams appear to be the best in the AFC again in 2020, but perhaps the two best in the sport. The only difference is under the NFL's new postseason rules, only the No. 1 seed in the conference will receive a first-round bye in the playoffs. That makes securing the top seed more important than ever, and arguably makes this the most important game either team will play this season.
Both the Chiefs and Ravens have jumped out to 2-0 starts again, and will meet on Monday Night Football this week in Baltimore to determine what team is the favorite to win Super Bowl LV.
While you can probably guess where the Chiefs and Ravens are, here are our latest RADIO.COM NFL Power Rankings:
