There are five undefeated teams through the first three weeks of the 2026 NFL Season. There are a whopping 11 teams that have won two of their first three games. With there still being so few games played, these 3-0 and 2-1 records can look totally different over the next few weeks.

Being 2-1 and 3-0 should feel pretty good for the most part, but that doesn't mean these teams don't have some sort of major or minor issue. With nearly half the league being 2-1 right now, we'll take a deeper dive into those squads here.

We power-ranked the 11 teams with a 2-1 record through three weeks, simply based on how they have looked so far. Let's get into it.

There are 11 teams that are 2-1 through three weeks, but which team is the best?

11. New York Giants

The New York Giants likely won't stay above .500 for much longer. Jaxson Dart is going to be out for the regular season, and outside of a shocking Week 1 win over the Dallas Cowboys, all the Giants did in Week 2 was squeak past the Tennessee Titans.

If there is such a thing as a bad 2-1 team, it's the Giants right now.

10. Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns are winners of two in a row, and quarterback Deshaun Watson actually looks pretty solid. Having beaten Tampa Bay and Carolina over the past two weeks, the Browns don't exactly have great wins thus far, but things could look a lot worse, and this team has already seemed to exceed expectations through the first month of football.

9. Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia barely got by Washington and Tennessee to open up the season, and then got blown out by a Chicago team with their third-string QB. This is not anything resembling a great team, folks. The offense and defense both look mediocre, and I just don't really see what this team does well.

This could be the year where the wheels really begin to fall off for the Eagles and major changes are made.

8. Cincinnati Bengals

Cincinnati did get some encouraging performances from their new-look defense to begin the season, but an ugly loss against Pittsburgh in Week 3 now has us wondering if the Bengals defense is actually going to be good enough this year.

While divisional games are almost always close, this recent loss did leave a bad taste in our mouths. We may need to pump the brakes on the Bengals right now.
