Cowherd calls Raiders “legit” as Bills and 49ers rise in NFL rankings
Fox Sports’ Week 2 Herd Hierarchy features Cowherd’s views on several teams, but the supplied article text omits the ranking positions.
Colin Cowherd’s latest Herd Hierarchy weighs the Raiders’ prospects alongside the form of several NFL teams. Fox Sports reports that Cowherd called Las Vegas “legit”, while the article says the Bills and 49ers are both 3-0 after a chaotic Week 3.
Cowherd pointed to the Raiders’ takeaways, an edge rusher, Kirk Cousins and Brock Bowers as reasons for his assessment. He described the team as well coached and said it was about one more draft away from being a high-end team.
His comments on the Lions highlighted a contrast: Cowherd cited their scoring output and sack production, but also their league-worst scoring defence. He said their floor was high, while expressing uncertainty about their ceiling.
On the Rams, Cowherd cited a missed opportunity against the Broncos and concerns about recent results and road performance. He also discussed the Bears’ offensive and rushing production, and credited their coaching and recent defensive results.
Cowherd described the Jaguars as strong regular-season performers, citing their 10-1 record over their last 11 regular-season games and their scoring defence. The supplied article text ends during his remarks and does not include the full ranking list.
