Week 3 of MLS 2017 saw a lot of movement, but no change at the top. Portland still boasts maximum points and maximum power in MLS. Down the bottom, Minnesota bounces up a few places to give DCU a turn at propping up these Power Rankings.
- 9 points, 1st in Western Conference
- 1st in Supporters' Shield race
- Last result: Timbers 4-2 Houston
The early-season top-of-the-table clash between Portland and Houston went the way of the home team. The Timbers were 2-1 down at half-time, but the game tilted back the home team's way in the second half.
