The Arizona Cardinals are one of only three undefeated teams in the NFL through three weeks of the season.

While there were high expectations following a 10-win campaign in 2013, the Cardinals’ record is also somewhat of a surprise considering what the team has dealt with so far this year.

Last week, Drew Stanton made his second straight start at quarterback in relief of the injured Carson Palmer and led a win over the San Francisco 49ers — a team that had beaten Arizona nine of ten times.

But nothing has been able to derail the Cardinals yet, and heading into their bye week, it’s obvious that the rest of the country is taking Bruce Arians’ team seriously.

Here’s a rundown of some NFL Power Rankings from around the internet:
