It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. > I'm still putting the Rams at number five. It's the first time I've ever had a below 500 team in my power rankings. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Here we go at number five with a 1-2 record, the Rams... number four, I have the team that just beat the Rams, the Denver Broncos...
