Web-wide AFC East power rankings: Week 4

BY SEAN DONOVAN

For the second straight week, all four AFC East teams either improved their standing or stayed still in the rankings. The New York Jets were the biggest upward-movers in Week 3, continuing their rise from a near-consensus bottom-three NFL team designation just three weeks earlier.

The Miami Dolphins made another jump, entering every outlet's top-10 after beating another quality opponent. The New England Patriots were the beneficiaries of a couple top teams losing, and the Buffalo Bills barely nudged after dropping a game to the rival Jets.

Here's where the four AFC East teams stand in the major media outlets' NFL power rankings entering Week 4:
