Week 2 NFL Power Rankings

Number 9: Cincinnati Bengals – Last Week 10

After starting the game with five straight field goals, Andy Dalton was able to connect with A.J. Green on a 77 yard touchdown pass. Despite the win, you want to see those field goals turn into touchdowns.

Number 10: Chicago Bears – Last Week 9

Talk about a disappointing loss. The Bears dropped their opener against the Buffalo Bills; who many expected to be one of the worst teams in the league.

Number 11: Arizona Cardinals – Last Week 14

Carson Palmer is slowly turning into the man in Arizona. As Trent Dilfer said, Palmer played great during the last nine games last season. Now, Palmer goes for over 300 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. A la Kurt Warner?

Number 12: San Diego Chargers – Last Week 11

After a bad first half, the San Diego Chargers were able to score two quick second half touchdowns. Unfortunately, they couldn’t hold it together – allowing twelve unanswered points – including a 13 yard touchdown pass to give the Cardinals the lead with two minutes left.

Number 13: Pittsburgh Steelers – Last Week 13

The Steelers offense excelled in their opener against the Browns. Ben Roethlisberger threw for nearly 400 yards and Le’Veon Bell proved his worth to the team, rushing for over 100 yards and a touchdown. The AFC North will be one of the more interesting divisions this season.

Number 14: Baltimore Ravens – Last Week 12

The Ravens defense did a great job at keeping Cincinnati out of the endzone – other than that – there weren’t too many positives. They can’t win with Flacco throwing the ball 60 times a game, and now with the release of Rice, the Ravens must find some consistency at the running back position.

Number 15: Carolina Panthers – Last Week 15

No Cam, no problem. Derek Anderson was able to fill in nicely for the injured Newton, throwing two touchdown passes in a road win against the Bucs.

Number 16: Miami Dolphins – Last Week 18

While it is just one week, the Miami Dolphins offensive line problems look like a thing of the past. Tannehill struggled with his accuracy, but as long as he can make a few plays, the defense can allow them to get them to the postseason.
