Blogging The Boys
The first week of the NFL season is in the books and what a set of 16 games it was. We are only one step into this entire journey and it is important to note that plenty of things will change as we traverse it all. Teams will impress and regress and lots of things in between.
This obviously applies to the Dallas Cowboys among the league at large, but on the subject of the latter today marks our first assessment of all 32 teams in the National Football League. Welcome to the first set of Power Rankings of the year here at Blogging The Boys. We rank all 32 teams as we see them and then provide how outlets across the internet view the Cowboys.
Let’s begin.
1 – Philadelphia Eagles
Kings stay kings. It sucks.
2 – Buffalo Bills
Sunday night was incredible. Team of destiny stuff.
3 – Green Bay Packers
Considering we are rooting against them in the name of draft capital, we might be in trouble.
4 – Washington Commanders
It is going to be awesome to see them at Lambeau on Thursday. We will see who is more for real.
5 – Los Angeles Chargers
Along those lines, I definitely don’t trust the Chargers. But we have to give them their due.
6 – Minnesota Vikings
Obviously the first part of the game matters, but wow what a rally. Kevin O’Connell and his staff are incredible.
7 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers

8 – Los Angeles Rams
This is another situation that I don’t fully trust. But they found a way and deserve the benefit of the doubt.
9 – Baltimore Ravens
Obviously they lost, but I feel silly even having them this low. Baltimore looked unstoppable. They proved this on Sunday night, the only people who can beat them is themselves.
10 – Pittsburgh Steelers
I’m not sure how ready I am to believe that this is for real, but this was another group that looked very energetic in Week 1.
11 – Kansas City Chiefs
This is a lot of benefit of the doubt. But imagine if they lose to Philly this week.
12 – Indianapolis Colts
If we had to bet on anything from the first week being a mirage it is probably the performance of the Colts. But what if it isn’t? Could the AFC South be theirs?
13 – Cincinnati Bengals
The second half was a bit rough and tough, but they avoided starting a season slow and that is huge. Time to fix the offense.
14 – San Francisco 49ers
All offseason long I felt like the world forgot about how good the 49ers were before injuries decimated them. They did not exactly dominate in Seattle, but they are back to their winning ways at...
