Week 2 is in the books…time to rank each team!
1. San Francisco 49ers (2-0) San Fran looked unstoppable against Detroit this week, the run game has been impressive now 3rd ranked in the league. Should be 3-0 after playing Minnesota next week.
2. Atlanta Falcons (2-0) Peyton who? Atlanta kept Manning and company uneasy all game long. When you make one of the greats flinch, you deserve the number two spot.
3. Houston Texans (2-0) Two underwhelming opponents in Miami and Jacksonville…but their schedule is pretty easy all around. Number 1 team in passing yards so far this year.
4. New England Patriots (1-1) Let’s be honest, the Pats were a field goal away from being 2-0 to start the season. Give credit to the Cardinals for the win, but Brady and New England still look strong.
5. Green Bay Packers (1-1) Poor, poor Chicago. Cutler and the O-line felt the wrath of Green Bay this week. The Packers were most people’s preseason favorites, they need to earn their worth to get any higher than 5 in our Power Rankings
6. Baltimore Ravens (1-1) The AFC North will be the Raven’s to lose. The loss to Philly hurts, but trust in Ray Rice and Baltimore should be fine.
7. Philadelphia Eagles (2-0) Why are they ranked lower than the Ravens, the team they just beat? Week 1’s almost loss to the Browns. Don’t worry Eagles fans, another win could propel them up the leaderboard.
8. New York Giants (1-1) Eli’s gutsy comeback was really quite amazing, but New York could also easily be 0-2 to start the season.
9. Denver Broncos (1-1) I still believe in Peyton Manning’s impact on Denver, give them time.
10. San Diego Chargers (2-0) I have a feeling after next week’s game against Atlanta the Chargers will be undefeated no more…but for now give them props
11. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1) Ranked 30th in rushing yards, and only 19th in passing yards, let me know when the real Steelers show up
12. Arizona Cardinals (2-0) The Miracle in Foxboro was impressive, pulling for the Cards to go 3-0
13. Chicago Bears (1-1) Please help Jay Cutler….please….
14. Detroit Lions (1-1) It hurts me to rank my beloved Lions so low, but I can spot a Bad Lions team as well as anybody. Matt Stafford must improve or the Lions will fail.
15. Seattle Seahawks (1-1) Grantland.com’s Bill Simmons has Seattle as his “Super Bowl Sleeper” pick…only if he puts the team on his back doe..
16. Washington Redskins (1-1) Losing to the Rams is never good for cred, but RGIII looked impressive once again. Could the Skins sneak into a playoff spot?
17. Dallas Cowboys (1-1) Great first win of the season, bad first loss.
18. Cincinnati Bengals (1-1) Ranked 30th defense?
19. Carolina Panthers (1-1) Cam Newton is the man! Putting up 35 on New Orleans with ease.
20. New York Jets (1-1) Put in Tebow…please
21. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-1) Close loss to the Giants, Big game against Dallas next week.
22. Buffalo Bills (1-1) Remember last year Bills fans?…yea hold on to those memories…
23. New Orleans Saints (0-2) Saints will turn it around starting with this week’s game against Carolina
24. St. Louis Rams (1-1) Shut down RGIII, cause a big penalty at the end of the game, come away with a win, solid week for the Rams
25. Indianapolis Colts (1-1) RGIII>Luck, but Andrew still looks solid
26. Tennessee Titans (0-2) Will the real Chris Johnson please stand up?
27. Miami Dolphins (1-1) Solid start for a mediocre team
28. Minnesota Vikings (1-1) AP is back ladies and gentlemen!
29. Kansas City Chiefs (0-2) I hope the Chiefs can work out the kinks, too much talent to let go to waste
30. Oakland Raiders (0-2) Tough schedule coming up for Oakland
31. Cleveland Browns (0-2) Give the ball to T-Rich!!
32 Jacksonville Jaguars (0-2) Lol…
