NFL Power Rankings: Week 2

The NFL season is heating up, and the power rankings are already taking shape. Some teams look like true contenders, while others are falling apart early. Here’s where things stand right now:

1. Philadelphia Eagles

You stay the champ until someone takes you down. Philly looked strong against the Cowboys, and while their secondary has some concerns, it’s nothing they can’t clean up.

2. Buffalo Bills

Josh Allen led a comeback against the Ravens and reminded everyone why Buffalo is a Super Bowl favorite.

3. Baltimore Ravens

Even in defeat, the Ravens look dangerous. Lamar Jackson keeps them competitive every week, and their defense is still elite.

4. Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers’ talent is finally showing. If they stay healthy, they’ll be a problem all season.

5. Kansas City Chiefs

Not as flashy as in years past, but with Mahomes and Andy Reid, the Chiefs are always a threat.

6. Green Bay Packers

Jordan Love looks ready to lead this team, and the defense is doing its part. Green Bay is tough to deal with right now.

7. Washington Commanders

Not the prettiest wins, but Washington keeps finding ways to get the job done.

8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans are making noise. Don’t sleep on the Bucs.

9. Los Angeles Rams

The Rams are mixing veterans with young talent and staying competitive in a loaded NFC.

10. Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers’ defense is nasty, and Mike Tomlin’s crew continues to grind out wins.

11. Dallas Cowboys

They came up short against Philly, but Dallas still has the tools to compete — if they can clean up mistakes.

12. Indianapolis Colts

Flashes of promise are there, but consistency is the big hurdle.

13. Denver Broncos

Russell Wilson is long gone, but Denver still looks shaky. They’ll need the offense to step up if they want to climb higher.

14. San Francisco 49ers

The talent is there, but they haven’t been able to put it all together. Sloppy play keeps holding them back.

15. Minnesota Vikings

The offense is explosive, but late-game execution remains a problem.

16. Cincinnati Bengals

Burrow and the Bengals are struggling to find their rhythm. Time is ticking.

17. Detroit Lions

The Lions play with grit and toughness. They’re not flashy, but they’re physical and always in the fight.

18. New York Jets

Justin Fields finally looked comfortable. He was decisive, efficient, and gave the Jets real hope that he can stabilize the offense alongside their tough defense.

19. Jacksonville Jaguars

Flashes of brilliance from Trevor Lawrence, but still not consistent enough to scare top teams.

20. Houston Texans

Young, competitive, and fun to watch. They’re building something solid in Houston.

21. Seattle Seahawks

Seattle has weapons, but the defense hasn’t held up. They need to toughen up to stay in the playoff race.

22. Atlanta Falcons

The Falcons’ ground game is solid, but the passing attack isn’t enough.

23. Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders are stuck in the middle of the pack. No stability at QB means no progress.

24. Chicago Bears

Penalties and inconsistency hurt the Bears again. Caleb Williams is showing flashes, but the team around him needs to step up.

25. New England Patriots

This roster just doesn’t scare anyone. They play hard, but lack explosiveness.

26. Carolina Panthers

Bryce Young is fighting, but he doesn’t have enough support yet.

27. Tennessee Titans

The run-heavy approach isn’t working anymore. Balance is badly needed.

28. Miami Dolphins

The offense hasn’t lived up to the hype. Until they find their rhythm, they stay down here.

29. Cleveland Browns

Too much talent to be this bad. Chemistry and consistency remain issues.

30. New Orleans Saints

The Saints can’t seem to get anything going on either side of the ball.

31. Arizona Cardinals

The effort is there, but the talent gap shows. They fight hard, but they’re outmatched most weeks.

32. New York Giants

Russell Wilson’s struggles continue. He hasn’t found a rhythm, and the offense looks lost. Giants fans expected more, but so far it’s been nothing but frustration.
