Yes, our Week 2 power rankings in the NFL are out. They are #important.

  1. New England Patriots (1-0) (1) – People need to understand that not every bad thing that happens in the world is because of the Patriots. Only about 40 or 45% is, to be honest.
  1. Green Bay Packers (1-0) (4) – Let me assure you that Aaron Rodgers makes his receivers better, not the other way around.
  1. Seattle Seahawks (0-1) (2) – Seahawks and Packers in Week 2?  Thank you, NFL schedule guy!
  1. Denver Broncos (1-0) (T-6) – They won’t get very far playing like that.
  1. Baltimore Ravens (0-1) (3) – They’ll rebound, and quickly.
  1. Dallas Cowboys (1-0) (8) – Bad time to lose Dez Bryant.
  1. Buffalo Bills (1-0) (11) – Most impressive performance of the week.
  1. Indianapolis Colts (0-1) (5) – No reason to panic, still the class of the AFC South.
  1. Pittsburgh Steelers (0-1) (T-6) – Probably the toughest game on the early schedule now out of the way.
  1. St. Louis Rams (1-0) (14) – No, you didn’t. You did not see that one coming.
  1. New York Giants (0-1) (9) – Eli Manning and Tom Coughlin have both been around too long for that kind of silly mistake at the end of a big divisional game.

T-12.  Miami Dolphins (1-0) (12) – Good enough to beat Washington, but probably no one else.

T-12.  Arizona Cardinals (1-0) (15) – Another team with an eye-opening Week 1 showing.

  1. Cincinnati Bengals (1-0) (19) – I readily admit I underrated this team a bit.
  1. Atlanta Falcons (1-0) (T-16) – Nice makeover.

T-16.  Philadelphia Eagles (0-1) (13) – Hey, coach, it might not be too late to go get all those guys you didn’t need to come back.

T-16.  Minnesota Vikings (0-1) (10) – Not the start they were hoping for.

T-16.  Carolina Panthers (1-0) (T-16) – Forgettable.

  1. San Diego Chargers (1-0) (21) – From the jaws of defeat. . .
  1. Kansas City Chiefs (1-0) (24) – Let’s see you do that on Thursday against Denver.
  1. New Orleans Saints (0-1) (T-16) – This is the Saints’ new reality.
  1. Houston Texans (0-1) (20) – Ample room for improvement.
  1. Detroit Lions (0-1) (22) – Ugh. Same old Lions.
  1. New York Jets (1-0) (25) – Keep your jets in your pants. You beat the Browns… without their starting quarterback.
  1. San Francisco 49ers (1-0) (27) – Maybe those new uniforms are so no one will confuse them with the old 49ers.
  1. Oakland Raiders (0-1) (23) – Bumpy start.
  1. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-1) (26) – Some reasons for optimism.
  1. Chicago Bears (0-1) (28) – The clock is running out on this group.
  1. Tennessee Titans (1-0) (31) – Quit waving your Mariotas around. You beat Tampa.
  1. Washington RacialSlurs (0-1) (32) – Pretty sure that was just Miami having a bad game.
  1. Cleveland Browns (0-1) (29) – Are you ready for some Johnny Football? (I don’t think he is.)
  1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (30) – I believe “buccaneer” is French for “garbage.”
