Steelers are considered the top team in the power rankings of the fourth week

Oh, what a difference a week makes. NBC’s Pro Football Talk’s Week 4 Power Rankings have done the unthinkable – something no other 2024 power rankings have done before: They treat the Pittsburgh Steelers like a top-5 team!

A week ago, as preparations for Week 3 began, several sports media outlets declared the Pittsburgh Steelers unworthy of being considered one of the better undefeated teams – they were ranked 12th, 15th, 10th, 14th and 12th by ESPN, Yahoo, CBS, NFL.com and USA Today.

While it’s obviously upsetting to many Steelers fans that their 2-0 Steelers could have been so undervalued going into Week 3, NBC’s Pro Football Talk made sure to correct the other sports media’s mistakes in the Week 4 Power Rankings:

It’s a great feeling to finally be respected as one of the NFL’s elite teams, but the Pittsburgh Steelers won’t be satisfied until they’ve captured the top spot in the standings.
