Week Two featured a ton of super close games with fantastic finishes bookended by two of the worst football games in recent memory. OK, maybe the Monday night game wasn't that bad but the Thursday night game was so horrific it set the game of football back at least a decade. Teams in the NFC East and the AFC North have to thank their lucky stars that they play within the division or else they would all be winless. Sadly, Peyton is no longer on pace to throw for 112 touchdowns...
1. Denver (Last week 1) - It was just like I imagine it was when they were growing up as big brother Peyton beat up on lil' bro Eli and the Giants. This week Peyton's next victim is the Raiders. They should be safe at number one.
2. Seattle (3) - Last week the Seattle crowd set a new world record as the world's loudest stadium! Oh, and they also beat the stuffing out of NFC favorite San Francisco. Not a bad week.
3. Houston (4) - The Texans are 2-0 despite needing overtime against what may be a tough Titans team. Arian Foster is driving fantasy owners across the country nuts.
4. San Francisco (2) - Seattle is one of the toughest places in the league to play, expect Harbaugh to get his revenge when the Seahawks go south to California.
5. Green Bay (5) - The Packers became the latest team to destroy the Redskins in the first quarter then let them crawl back into the game so it looked close. It wasn't close.
6. New Orleans (6) - The Saints looked shaky on the road against a Bucs team that is on the brink of losing its mind, but when it really mattered Drew Brees led them right down the field to win the game.
7. Chicago (8) - Jay Cutler also showed amazing poise staring down the barrel of a potential loss and threw a perfect ball to get the win for the Bears. If the Bears start clicking they might make a serious run to steal the division from the Packers.
8. Kansas City (15) - I'm all in on Andy Reid and Alex Smith. I freely admit that I might be overreacting like a crazy man, especially after squeaking by the perpetually mediocre Cowboys, but I like what I've seen. I cannot wait for Reid to return to Philly on Thursday night.
9. Atlanta (7) - The Falcons have probably dropped more than they deserve to because of Steven Jackson going down to injury. They let a not-very-good Rams team back in the game at home when they desperately needed the win; not a great sign for the future.
10. New England (9) - When Gronkowski and Amendola return don't be surprised when the Pats skyrocket up the rankings. Until then they shall slowly sink until someone learns how to catch.
11. Miami (16) - The fish might be good. Sure, their wins are against a horrific Browns team and a Colts team that looks to be not nearly as good as they were last year, but Tannehill might be for real and there might finally be a new contender in the AFC East.
12. Philadelphia (11) - The Eagles have an amazing offense that might redefine offense in the NFL for years to come. Their defense, well, imagine the exact opposite of their offense. The best team in a horrible division.
13. San Diego (31) - Welcome to the roller coaster team of the first two weeks! They've gone from 23rd to 31st to 13th. I clearly have no idea what to make of this team so expect them to fall or rise by ten spots every week.
14. Cincinnati (13) - The Bengals are a very talented team that for one reason or another seems to want to be a mediocre team; they might be capable of winning the division but seem pretty much incapable of challenging any of the top tier teams.
15. Dallas (10) - The Cowboys are perennially the team most likely to win every other game, this seems to happen every year. At 8-8 they might win the wretched NFC East.
16. Baltimore (14) - The Super Bowl champs were barely capable of beating the Browns in their home opener. Ravens fans should cancel their January trip to Jersey for a repeat while they still can.
17. Indianapolis (12) - When you open up with two straight home games against the Raiders and Dolphins coming off of a surprisingly good season you need to win both of them. The Colts came darn close to losing both of them.
18. Tennessee (20) - Thanks to a lot of teams looking bad this weekend the Titans managed to lose yet still gain three spots in the power rankings. Congrats! This week against San Diego, a team that has scored a ton so far this year, we'll find out if Tennessee's defense is for real.
19. Buffalo (27) - What an amazing win! The exact opposite of what they did last week against New England. E.J. Manuel looks like he's for real and the tandem of C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson is formidable.
20. St. Louis (19) - Sam Bradford is having a sneaky good start to the season and the Rams might be good enough to surprise some people this year, sadly they aren't anywhere near good enough to compete in their division.
21. Detroit (21) - After looking so good in week 1 the Lions dropped a tough one in Arizona. After one game with Detroit Reggie Bush looks like he may be the lynch pin in their season.
22. Minnesota (26) - Despite falling to 0-2 the Vikings looked scrappy against the Bears. They're a better team than they've shown so far.
23. Carolina (24) - Apparently Ron Rivera is incapable of learning. Cam Newton is darn near unstoppable when he only needs to gain one yard, for the seemingly 100th time forgetting this cost the Panthers a game.
24. New York Giants (17) - The G-Men may have just given up another touchdown. Even if they had both Mannings it would be hard for their offense to keep up with how many points their D is letting in.
25. Tampa Bay (25) - Freeman wants out. Revis wants out. Schiano hates everyone. Yet they easily could be 2-0 right now instead of 0-2.
26. Washington (18) - RGIII can't run. Their secondary can't cover anyone. A lot is wrong in Washington right now and it's uncertain if there is a way to fix it all before they are out of it and it's a lost season.
27. Arizona (29) - Good win for the Cardinals against the Lions. This week they travel to the bayou to take on the Saints, after what former Saint Reggie Bush did to them in week one don't be surprised if similar runner Darren Sproles goes to town on them.
28. Oakland (28) - Sure, beating Jacksonville is an accomplishment akin to surviving the bye week without any players getting arrested but it's still worthy of celebration.
29. Pittsburgh (22) - It's been a very, very long time since this could be said with absolute certainty: The Steelers are awful.
30. Cleveland (30) - In about 6 weeks I'm going to feel guilty for saying this every week; Brandon Weeden is terrible. Jason Campbell can't be any worse, can he?
31. New York Jets (23) - The Jets might not deserve to be this low but if you play in the least entertaining football game of recent memory and lose there is only one thing that can prevent you from finishing dead last. . .
32. Jacksonville (32) - Jaguar fans held a rally to demand the team sign Tim Tebow on Monday and the number of people who attended was lower than Tebow's jersey number.
