Week 1 is in the books! It proved why we all crave NFL football. Sensational performances, jaw-dropping upsets and unforeseen story lines make up yet another typically fluid version of this week\u2019s NFL Power Rankings!<\/p>\n
Enough talk \u2013 let\u2019s get on with Dave B\u2019s Week 2 edition of the Rankings! \u00a0<\/p>\n
1. PATRIOTS<\/strong> (2) \u2013 The Pats got it done in Week 1 without a huge performance from their offense! Particularly Wes Welker. Two aspects of their Week 1 game that make them especially scary \u2013 they have a running game and the defense, yes the defense looked terrific.<\/p>\n 2. 49ERS<\/strong> (4) \u2013 Their Week 1 game against Green Bay looked close on paper 30-22 but it really wasn\u2019t as close as it seemed. This team looked like the most complete team in the NFL on Sunday and just barely missed a #1 Ranking this week.<\/p>\n 3. RAVENS<\/strong> (6) \u2013 Absolute smack down of a good Bengals team on Monday night. Baltimore certainly looks like a contender and the defense didn\u2019t miss a beat without Terrell Suggs.<\/p>\n 4. TEXANS<\/strong> (5) \u2013 The defense was predictably terrific in Week 1 and Arian Foster scored twice. With Andre Johnson producing to the tune of 119 yards and a TD the Texans are poised for a big year!<\/p>\n 5. PACKERS<\/strong> (3) \u2013 Lost at home to the Niners and actually looked a tad outclassed. If that defense can\u2019t hold an average San Fran offense down a little there is some concern in Wisconsin!<\/p>\n 6. FALCONS<\/strong> (11) \u2013 Matt Ryan was sensational in Week 1 passing for two TDs and running for one. Atlanta\u2019s defense held its own but the offense looks elite \u2013 enough to ensure that the Falcons will have a very good season.<\/p>\n 7. COWBOYS<\/strong> (15) \u2013 The Cowboys handily defeated the Super Bowl champions in Week 1 and are the biggest risers in the Rankings. They ran the ball, took care of Tony Romo and defended against the pass. If the O-line and the corner backs hold up the Cowboys could be this year\u2019s surprise!<\/p>\n 8. BEARS<\/strong> (8) \u2013 Did what they were supposed to do \u2013 destroy the Colts. The new addition, Brandon Marshall and Michael Bush immediately paid off \u2013 three touchdowns combined!<\/p>\n 9. BRONCOS<\/strong> (12) \u2013 Are ya drinking the Broncos Kool-Aid? I am! Peyton Manning looked great in Denver\u2019s impressive win over the Steelers \u2013 129.2 rating!<\/p>\n 10. LIONS<\/strong> (14) \u2013 They were sloppy in their opener and now travel to San Francisco for Week 2. Look for them to drop this week after a slight but undeserved rise this week.<\/p>\n 11. STEELERS<\/strong> (10) \u2013 lost their opener to a very good looking Broncos team but did so without a few defensive stars. Big Ben played well, the receivers will be better and Jonathan Dwyer looked surprisingly good.<\/p>\n 12. EAGLES<\/strong> (9) \u2013 may be undeserving of a top 15 spot \u2013 the Redskins could have taken this spot! If they play like this in Week 2 look for them to tumble down the Rankings!\u00a0[soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n 13. GIANTS<\/strong> (1) \u2013 Nothing looked good for the defending champs in the opener. From #1 to #13 with a shot!<\/p>\n 14. SAINTS<\/strong> (7) \u2013 Ugh! The defense was battered by a rookie quarterback albeit that rookie was RG III. Still, the Saints have some work to do to build a little confidence in the coming weeks!<\/p>\n 15. JETS<\/strong> (19) \u2013 Wow \u2013 didn\u2019t see that Week 1 performance coming!<\/p>\n 16. CHARGERS (21)<\/strong> Dave B\u2019s NFL Power Rankings – Week 2 Week 1 is in the books!
