DTTWSB Week 2 NFL Power Rankings

So with Week 1 of the NFL season in the books, we were handed plenty of surprises. I don't think many people had the Seahawks beating the 49ers the way they did, also no one expected the Bengals to get trounced in New England and Houston schocked me by beating the Colts. With that said, I'm not going to overreact with these Week 2 power rankings. The Super Bowl isn't won or lost in the first week of the season so everyone should chill out with the crowning of some teams and the trouncin of others. So here are the Week 2 power rankings.

1. Baltimore Ravens (1-0): The Ravens showed that they can play with the best of the best on Monday night. They had the most impressive win of Week 1 in my opinion. They may live up to the offseason hype. I think they're the most balanced team in all of football.

2. New York Jets (0-1): Even though they lost, I still feel like this team is flat out loaded. I don't expect much of a drop off from the loss of nose tackle Kris Jenkins because they were the number one defense in the league without him last year. I expect this team to bounce back this Sunday against the Patriots.

3. Dallas Cowboys (0-1): All is still well in Cowboys land, even after the loss to the hated Redskins on Sunday night. The Cowboys should be getting left guard Kyle Kosier and right tackle Marc Columbo back this Sunday to sure up the offensive line. The defense looks as good as advertised also.

4. New Orleans Saints (1-0): The defending Super Bowl champions had a nice outing last Thursday when they beat the Vikings. They showed that they can be effective in the run and pass. The defense is a little suspect but they should be able to control the ball/clock if they remain balanced on offense.

5. Indianapolis Colts (0-1): The Colts passing game was as good as advertised. Something that was very alarming though was their inability to run the football and stop the run on Sunday. The teams in their division are good running teams so they won't be able to run through their division as usual, keep an eye on this team.

6. Green Bay Packers (1-0): During the second and third quarter of their game against the Eagles, they looked pretty good. They didn't start or finish well though. The offensive line is as bad as it was last season so Aaron Rodgers and his receiving corp better be on their game if they want to win the NFC North.

7. New England Patriots (1-0): The Patriots biggest question mark this offseason was their defense and boy did it look good against the high-powered Bengals offense. I'm not a complete buyer of their defense but it's good enough to ultimately have them in the playoffs.

8. Tennessee Titans (1-0): I love the Titans this year. They are a very good football team. They do the things that win on Sunday, run the ball, stop the run, put pressure on the quarterback and they don't make mental errors. Head coach Jeff Fisher always has his team ready to play. Nothing should chage this week.

9. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0): This team is my pick to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl this February. Their defense looked great last Sunday without nose tackle Casey Hampton. Once he gets back they will be playing at an elite level that only the Jets can match. This is a very very very dangerous team that nobody wants to play.

10. Minnesota Vikings (0-1): It was easy to see that the Vikings offense seemed out of sync because their starting quarterback sat out of training camp. Favre and the wide receivers were just not on the same page. The Vikings defense also looked slow and tired. Look for them to get their legs back this Sunday at home against the Dolphins.
