APC Week 2 NFL Power Rankings: Packers remain in the top 10

Week one is over and we thought we'd start putting together a weekly power rankings post. We've carefully ranked all 32 teams in a painstaking, stats-driven process and they definitely weren't randomly put together based on how annoying they are. Enjoy!


  1. Kansas City ChiefsThey say it's better to be lucky than to be good. What if you're lucky? And good? Must be nice.
  2. San Francisco 49ersNo CMC? No problem. Shanahan, you mad scientist…
  3. Detroit LionsFace it, Packers fans, the Lions are still really good.
  4. Philadelphia EaglesIt's hard to make much of a statement from NFL Presents Football On Rollerskates, but we know the Eagles are good. But are we sure about Jalen Hurts?
  5. Baltimore RavensWe trust Harbaugh, but the Ravens still have a lot of work to do.
  6. Buffalo BillsOh, you forgot Josh Allen was a guy? Sounds like you have a problem.
  7. Houston TexansCJ Stroud picks up right where he left off, but as far as defense and special teams go…
  8. Dallas CowboysBeating the Cleveland Browns is a great start for a team that is under a lot of pressure this year.
  9. Miami DolphinsYou can basically set your watch to the Dolphins being really good in September, but is that sustainable?
  10. Green Bay Packers – The Packers have gotten away with Love's injury and won't have to deal with the Eagles' defensive line (or the Brazilian turf) every week. Don't panic.
  11. Cincinnati BengalsAh yes. So begins another year of the exploratory expedition “Is Zac Taylor actually a good coach?”
  12. LA ChargersNew year, new (weird) coach, same Chargers? Time will tell!
  13. New York JetsAaron Rodgers may no longer have his legs, but his throwing arm appears to be completely intact. The Jets have the potential to be a great team or to completely fall apart. Grab your popcorn.
  14. LA RamsThe Rams' relief effort may be put on hold until their OL is back in order and Puka Nacua is healthy again.
  15. Tampa Bay BuccaneersI'm sure Browns fans are very happy for Baker Mayfield.
  16. Chicago BearsRescued by his defense and Simone Biles' husband, Caleb Williams joins a long list of rookie quarterbacks who looked awful in their first start. He will get better.
  17. Pittsburgh SteelersRussell Wilson in protective gear as an emergency quarterback was the perfect start to another 9-8 season for the Steelers.
  18. Cleveland Browns – The fact that Deshaun Watson continues to stink is some proof of the existence of karma.
  19. Minnesota VikingsWe didn't need to be reminded, but Aaron Jones is still pretty great when he's healthy. And look at that! Sam Darnold!
  20. Jacksonville JaguarsNot a good start for a coach-quarterback duo that feels like time is somehow running out.
  21. The Seattle SeahawksBring back the old uniforms permanently, you cowards.
  22. Indianapolis ColtsRichardson pretty good, run defense pretty bad. Buckle up, Hoosiers, it's going to be an up and down year.
  23. New Orleans SaintsSaints fans were treated to the good Derek Carr in the first week, but the team has some tough games ahead of it.
  24. Atlanta FalconsThis Falcons operation looked as half-baked as Kirk Cousins' mystery meat. If I were a fan, I'd be upset.
  25. Arizona CardinalsNow with even less chemicals!
  26. New England PatriotsThe new look Pats actually showed up. No joke here. They looked better than expected.
  27. Tennessee TitansThrowing away a 17-point lead in the season opener? Not great, Bob!
  28. Denver BroncosA TV announcer yelled “Oh no” immediately after a pass left Bo Nix's hands – an interception in triple coverage. That about sums it up for Denver so far.
  29. Washington CommandersJayden Daniels has a lot of potential, but the Commanders are miserable right now.
  30. Las Vegas RaidersNot a great debut for outgoing head coach Antonio Pierce. How long before Davante Adams completely loses his mind?
  31. New York GiantsOh, it's going to be VERY bad, isn't it?
  32. Carolina PanthersIt's worse than the doctors feared. Carolina is suffering from a full-blown case of poverty.
