1. Seahawks (last week No. 1; 2-0): No Darnold? No problem.<\/p>\n
2. Bills (No. 2; 2-0): September wins are celebratory. January wins are mandatory. <\/p>\n
3. Bengals (No. 7; 2-0): Joe Burrow can\u2019t keep taking these kinds of beatings.<\/p>\n
4. Chiefs (No. 8; 2-0): Kenneth Walker III could become one of the best free-agent signings ever.<\/p>\n
5. 49ers (No. 10; 2-0): Brock Purdy is making a push for the list of top-10 quarterbacks. Maybe the top five.<\/p>\n
6. Broncos (No. 12; 1-1): Jaylen Waddle arrives, a few days later than they\u2019d hoped.<\/p>\n
7. Jaguars (No. 5; 1-1): They should just make Travis Hunter a full-time CB and be done with it.<\/p>\n
8. Eagles (No. 9; 2-0): In any game, the only stat that matters is points scored vs. points allowed.<\/p>\n
9. Rams (No. 11; 1-1): Fortunately, they didn\u2019t fly back from Australia the day before the Week 2 game.<\/p>\n
10. Texans (No. 4; 0-2): The offense is letting down the defense.<\/p>\n
11. Vikings (No. 15; 2-0): The defense has a flair for showing up in the biggest possible moments.<\/p>\n
12. Bears (No. 3; 1-1): Don\u2019t sleep on West Virginia native Tyson Bagent.<\/p>\n
13. Ravens (No. 6; 1-1): The Ravens seem to have a random head-scratcher at home every year. They\u2019ll need to make the loss to the Saints an aberration.<\/p>\n
14. Patriots (No. 13; 1-1): At this rate, they won\u2019t have to worry about a difficult negotiation with Drake Maye in 2027. <\/p>\n
15. Saints (No. 21; 1-1): The Saints are the best team no one is paying attention to.<\/p>\n
16. Lions (No. 14; 1-1): The fans got spoiled by 2023 and 2024. <\/p>\n
17. Giants (No. 16; 1-1): At some point, they probably should have double-covered Davante Adams.<\/p>\n
18. Steelers (No. 17; 1-1): Remember when the unofficial media talking point was Mike McCarthy\u2019s high level of attention to detail? <\/p>\n
19. Packers (No. 20; 1-1): Sometimes, a win feels like a loss. <\/p>\n
20. Cowboys (No. 22; 1-1): The defense is still a work in progress.<\/p>\n
21. Panthers (No. 23; 1-1): Bryce Young is finally becoming exactly what the Panthers hoped he\u2019d be.<\/p>\n
22. Raiders (No. 27; 2-0): Fernando Mendoza may be sitting for a while.<\/p>\n
23. Browns (No. 32; 1-1): Sunday\u2019s home opener could get very interesting.<\/p>\n
24. Cardinals (No. 18; 1-1): They may find out the hard way that the Chargers are just really bad.<\/p>\n
25. Chargers (No. 19; 0-2): At least they do really good schedule-release videos.<\/p>\n
26. Buccaneers (No. 24; 0-2): Where have you gone, Mike Evans? <\/p>\n
27. Colts (No. 25; 0-2): The Colts got a gift in overtime, and they refused to take it. <\/p>\n
28. Jets (No. 26; 1-1): Aaron Glenn continues to do himself no favors. <\/p>\n
29. Titans (No. 30; 0-2): \u201cWe\u2019re tied for second place in the division!\u201d<\/p>\n
30. Commanders (No. 28; 0-2): Dan Quinn\u2019s time may be running out.<\/p>\n
31. Dolphins (No. 31; 0-2): Arch Manning will look good in aqua.<\/p>\n
32. Falcons (No. 29; 0-2): The country\u2019s not ready for three straight prime-time Falcons games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1. Seahawks (last week No. 1; 2-0): No Darnold?
