Eagles (last week No. 1; 2-0): They\u2019re finding ways to win, like the Chiefs used to.<\/p>\n<p>2. Bills (No. 2; 2-0): It\u2019s gonna take more than a busted nose to slow Josh Allen down. <\/p>\n<p>3. Packers (No. 3; 2-0): They may not lose one for a while. <\/p>\n<p>4. Ravens (No. 4; 1-1): It\u2019s a lot easier to hold a lead against the Browns than the Bills.<\/p>\n<p>5. Chargers (No. 6; 2-0): Jim Harbaugh had a special birthday cake for Pete Carroll.<\/p>\n<p>6. Buccaneers (No. 8; 2-0): Yes, any team could have signed Baker Mayfield. Twice. <\/p>\n<p>7. Rams (No. 10; 2-0): With a return to Philly on deck, the Rams get a golden opportunity to do what they almost did in the divisional round. <\/p>\n<p>8. Commanders (No. 5; 1-1): Jayden Daniels took way too many hits at Lambeau Field.<\/p>\n<p>9. Lions (No. 11; 1-1): Maybe the Lions should treat every game like a \u201cmust\u201d win.<\/p>\n<p>10. Chiefs (No. 7; 0-2): The Chiefs need to reload around Patrick Mahomes. Or maybe rebuild.<\/p>\n<p>11. Broncos (No. 9; 1-1): Another year, another field-goal blunder costs the Broncos a win.<\/p>\n<p>12. 49ers (No. 16; 2-0): Mac Jones might play his way into another chance to be a starter.<\/p>\n<p>13. Colts (No. 17; 2-0): They\u2019re all alone in first place in the AFC South. Just like no one expected. <\/p>\n<p>14. Bengals (No. 14; 2-0): Jake Browning\u2019s job is a lot easier with Ja\u2019Marr Chase on the team. <\/p>\n<p>15. Texans (No. 13; 0-2): Can\u2019t be an elite team until you can beat elite teams. <\/p>\n<p>16. Seahawks (No. 19; 1-1): The Seahawks out-Steelered the Steelers. <\/p>\n<p>17. Steelers (No. 15; 1-1): They can\u2019t lose games they should win, not with so many games on the schedule they should lose. <\/p>\n<p>18. Cardinals (No. 20; 2-0): This weekend in Santa Clara, we\u2019ll find out whether the Cardinals are ready to contend.<\/p>\n<p>19. Cowboys (No. 21; 1-1): Brandon Aubrey the Cowboy is the closest thing we\u2019ve seen to <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-V_dyr6HBFc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Gus the donkey<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>20. Falcons (No. 22; 1-1): With all they\u2019ve invested in the quarterback position, it makes sense that the running game and the defense carried them in Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>21. Vikings (No. 12; 1-1): The air came out of the balloon quickly.<\/p>\n<p>22. Raiders (No. 23; 1-1): Tom Brady was finally able to attend a game. Based on what he saw, he likely prefers it when he\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<p>23. Patriots (No. 24; 1-1): Can they win consecutive games for the first time in nearly three years?<\/p>\n<p>24. Jaguars (No. 25; 1-1): Liam Coen is already learning how to act like a seasoned coach \u2014 blame the media for noticing the dysfunction coming from his own team. <\/p>\n<p>25. Titans (No. 26; 0-2): The wins will come when the schedule softens a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>26. Bears (No. 18; 0-2): On Friday, Ben Johnson <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/nfl\/profootballtalk\/rumor-mill\/news\/ben-johnson-on-kickoff-can-we-go-on-to-the-next-game-i-got-greedy-and-wanted-five-yards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">didn\u2019t want to talk<\/a> about the Vikings game. By Sunday night, he probably would\u2019ve preferred it.<\/p>\n<p>27. Giants (No. 31; 0-2): It\u2019ll be hard to pivot to Jaxson Dart after the way Russell Wilson played in Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>28. Jets (No. 27; 0-2): Hopefully, Woody Johnson will give his new regime the time it needs.<\/p>\n<p>29. Saints (No. 30; 0-2): Spencer Rattler is now 0-8 as a starter. <\/p>\n<p>30. Panthers (No. 29; 0-2): As it turns out, not being consistently blown out down the stretch didn\u2019t mean they\u2019d be ready to contend in 2025. <\/p>\n<p>31. Browns (No. 28; 0-2): The Dillon Gabriel era inches closer. <\/p>\n<p>32. Dolphins (No. 32; 0-2): Tick. Tick. Tick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1.
