Trevor’s NFL Power Rankings After Week Two
Now that Week 1 is over, I am focused on those top tier teams. Don’t worry all teams are still ranked below.
If you want even more controversial takes, watch one of my favorite tv shows, First Take on ESPN.
1. Kansas City Chiefs
On Sunday the Chiefs won on a nail-biter, beating the Chargers in overtime, 23-20. When Kansas City lowers their guard, they can be beaten; they only won by 3 points.
2. Baltimore Ravens
Even without the offense looking amazing on Sunday, the Ravens were still able to easily defeat the Texans, 33-16. Showing off this team’s ability to win in different ways and not always having to rely on Lamar Jackson is how they won.
3. Seattle Seahawks
Once again the Seahawks got their win off the arm of Russell Wilson, throwing 5 passing touchdowns. Against a tough New England defense who struggled to stop the Wilson and Metcalf receptions. On the other hand, Seattle’s defense struggled containing Cam Newton which led to the game being won by a yard, 35-30.
4. Green Bay Packers
Green Bay went off again with another 40+ point game. The last time a team started the season with two 40+ point games, they went to the Super Bowl. After going down 14-3 early, the Packers came back and scored over 30+ points unanswered. Both Aarons looked great on Sunday showing off their multidimensional offensive.
5. Buffalo Bills
On Sunday the Buffalo Bills defeated the Dolphins, 31-28. Josh Allen looked like he was an MVP candidate throwing for 417 yards, 4 touchdowns, and being named AFC Offensive Player Of The Week. Once they get their linebackers back, they are going to be the complete team Buffalo deserves.
6. Pittsburgh Steelers
With a win against the Broncos, they are now 2-0 for the season. Showing off their dominant defense once against Denver. Big Ben looks back to normal and ready to have another run at the Super Bowl.
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Like I said they would, the Bucs bounced back against the Panthers beating them 31-17. Showing off what looks like one of the best receiver and QB duos, Tom Brady and Mike Evans both bounced back. Let’s see if this dynamic duo lasts. They did just play Carolina who doesn’t look like the brightest team in the league.
8. Los Angeles Rams
The Rams had a decisive victory over the Eagles on Sunday beating them 37-19. Through the first two weeks it looks like Jared Goff is back to normal and is going to have a great season. They look like they’re back to their Super Bowl selves, but play a tough game against the Bills this Sunday.
9. Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys made an amazing comeback on Sunday against the Falcons, showing their willingness to win even while being down 20 points in the game. Dak Prescott threw for 450 yards and rushed for 3 touchdowns. Why were they so behind? Three fumbles. If they fumble this much every week, their luck will run out.
10. Tennessee Titans
With another sloppy win, the Titans stumbled to a 2-0 start after beating the Jacksonville Jaguars, 33-30 with another last second field goal by Stephen Gostkowski. Ryan Tannehill recovered this week with 4 passing touchdowns. Even though Tennessee struggled this week against a weaker team, a 2-0 is still a 2-0.
