Time for some NFL Power Rankings... because obviously power rankings are all the rage right now. I'll just give my top 10.1. New England Patriots - OK, they've convinced me to put them at #1. What a thoroughly dominating performance against a talented Chargers team.
2. Indianapolis Colts - Just something about those Titans. I never expected the Titans to be driving at the end of the game, needing just a FG to win. Football is a funny game like that. But still, they have obviously cemented themselves as a top 2 team. Bob Sanders for Defensive Player of the Year?
3. San Diego Chargers - It wasn't pretty, but no one else really sticks out as #3 right now. Plus, with all of this talent, not even Norv Turner can screw this up, right? Right?
4. Pittsburgh Steelers - They were my mini-surprise team coming into the year, and while they've been helped by a really easy schedule, they're certainly looking good so far. The average score of their games so far has been 30-5. That's not a misprint.
5. Dallas Cowboys - Quietly looking like they might be the best team in a very bad NFC team. At the very least, they have the most explosive offense in the League right now, especially with Marion Barber getting a larger and larger workload.
6. Denver Broncos - I had them at 4 last week, but after another mediocre performance they drop to 6. They have a 38-34 margin so far... that's not exactly awe-inspiring.
7. Chicago Bears - They only have 1 offensive TD in 2 weeks. I'm just saying. The defense is great, but with the offense being really mediocre and inconsistent once again, will it matter?
8. Baltimore Ravens - I still tend to think the Ravens are better right now with Kyle Boller at QB. Seriously, a Steve McNair-led offense scored 20 points against the Bengals. A Derek Anderson-led offense score 51 points against the Bengals. Something is not right there.
9. Washington Redskins - Jason Campbell is becoming better and better every week. What a throw by him at the end of the first half! But they'll have to overcome Joe Gibbs at this point, I think. I mean, a delay of game right after a spike on the 2 yard line? Are you kidding me Washington?
10. Green Bay Packers - I am a diehard Packer hater, but you have to be impressed by their start. The first game was very fluky, but beating anyone 35-13 is impressive. I'm still very skeptical about Brett Favre on a week-to-week basis, but their defense is really good.
