AFC Power Rankings: Patriots Lead the Pack Entering Week 4

1. player. 47. <p>Only one word can really describe the Patriots’ play thus far in 2015: dominant. In the 51-17 romp over the Jaguars, the Pats looked eerily similar to the post-Spygate team. Tom Brady is playing lights-out, and production is coming from all personnel groups.</p> <p>A year ago at this time, everyone in mainstream sports media was throwing Brady and the Pats under the bus. The narrative is much, much different these days.</p> <p>Unfortunately for the Pats, they have been given the lousy Week 4 bye (why the NFL uses it is beyond me). Hopefully, they can use these two weeks off to rest-up and prepare for the long remainder of the regular season and the likely postseason push.</p>. AFC East. 3-0. New England Patriots
