Week 4 NFL Power Rankings: Bucs go down, down, down

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers continue to fall in the power rankings, making it all the way down to 23rd on average this time. It's a downward trend when you're losing, and the Bucs are no exception that trend. They'll have a chance to turn it around on Sunday, but can they beat Robert Griffin III and his Redskins?

SB Nation - 23rd (Up from 24th):

Seven-point loss in New York and a six-point loss in Dallas. Tough road trip.

ESPN - 20th (Up from 21st):

The Bucs rank last in yards per game, yards per play and third-down conversion rate.

Fox Sports (Brian Billick) - 23rd (Down from 18th):

At least Greg Schiano is a man of his word. During his postgame press conference, he said that he wanted to be known for a team that wins game, not a team that goes hard on kneel down plays. Well, I suggest you start winning games then.

CBS Sports (Pete Prisco) - 26th (down from 24th):

The offense just seems way too conservative at times. Let Josh Freeman throw it some more.

NFL.com (Elliot Harrison) - 21st (down from 18th):

If Greg Schiano gets his offense as fired up as his victory-formation defense, the Bucs will have more than a shot against the Redskins, who can't stop anybody. On another note, what an impressive game by defensive lineman Michael Bennett. The guy completely destroyed the Cowboys' O-line. Four tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble is a pretty good line for a guy who was cut by the Seahawks a few seasons back.

NFL.com Power Poll - 22nd (down from 21st)

Pro Football Talk - 24th (down from 22nd):

Crashing victory formation provides a nice diversion from a loss.

Pro Football Weekly - 21st:

Bottled up Dallas' run game. Freeman had game to forget.
