The top-four spots remain the same while the Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins have forced their way into the conversation when it comes to the National Football League’s top teams.
After two weeks of regular season games, here is Talking Pigskin’s Pro Football Top 10 Power Poll…
OUTSIDE LOOKING IN
Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, Cincinnati Bengals, Las Vegas Raiders, Jacksonville Jaguars
FROM 10 TO 1
No. 10 LOS ANGELES CHARGERS 📉 (Previous Rank: 6)
The Kansas City Chiefs are still the team to beat in the AFC West as evidenced by last Thursday’s win over the Chargers, but Justin Herbert and Co. aren’t going away anytime soon.
No. 9 BALTIMORE RAVENS 📉 (Previous Rank: 5)
The Lamar Jackson-led offense was sensational in Week 2, but the Ravens’ defense let Tua Tagovailoa enjoy a career day in Miami’s last-minute 42-38 victory.
No. 8 MIAMI DOLPHINS 📈 (Previous Rank: NR)
Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle have been a real problem for opposing defenses through two weeks and the world-class speedsters show no signs of slowing.
No. 7 PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 📈 (Previous Rank: NR)
The Eagles off-season moves are paying immediate dividends and quarterback Jalen Hurts continues to progress.
No. 6 SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS 📈 (Previous Rank: 8)
While Trey Lance suffered an unfortunate season-ending foot injury in the Week 2 drubbing of Seattle, San Francisco will remain a contender thanks to grizzled veteran Jimmy Garropolo.
No. 5 GREEN BAY PACKERS 📈 (Previous Rank: 7)
Green Bay followed up its season-opening dud with a beatdown of the Chicago Bears as the offense showed signs of life. Aaron Rodgers averaged 9.4 yards per pass attempt and Aaron Jones rushed for 8.8 yards per carry in the 27-10 win.
No. 4 LOS ANGELES RAMS ↔️ (Previous Rank: 4)
The defending Super Bowl champions shot out to a large lead over a less-potent Atlanta Falcons team, but stumbled down the stretch in a 31-27 win.
No. 3 TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS ↔️ (Previous Rank: 3)
Tampa Bay’s defense dominated New Orleans on the road to the tune of six sacks and three interceptions. The Buccaneers’ defensive prowess has offset Tom Brady’s slow start and the receiving corps’ injury woes.
No. 2 KANSAS CITY CHIEFS ↔️ (Previous Rank: 2)
Kansas City’s offense looks a bit different this year, but the end results have been the same through the first two weeks.
No. 1 BUFFALO BILLS ↔️ (Previous Rank: 1)
First, they blew past the defending Super Bowl champion Rams on opening night. Next, they bottled up Derrick Henry while out-classing the No. 1 seed from last year’s AFC playoffs.
