Blogging The Boys
The second week of the season is in the books for the NFL and the feeling of newness has officially worn off. We are knee deep in the season and it is amazing.
While we have legitimate sample sizes to work with, they are obviously still too small to draw serious conclusions from. But this doesn’t change the fact that each team has played over 100 minutes of competitive football and that we can definitely discern some things as a result.
As always, we have done just that by way of our weekly power rankings. Below you will find our listing of all 32 teams following Week 2’s action and then a collection of how various outlets across the internet have the Cowboys ranked.
Here we go.
1 – Buffalo Bills (LW: 2)
They really feel indestructible. The first week was amazing, but the second was sound.
2 – Philadelphia Eagles (LW: 1)
It feels unfair to drop them after they won again, especially in a volatile environment like Arrowhead. But they appear vulnerable. Their passing game is non-existent.
3 – Green Bay Packers (LW: 3)
We might be looking at the NFC Champions here. The season is long and no one remembers mid-September in January, but right now it is Green Bay’s world.
4 – Baltimore Ravens (LW: 9)
I feel very confident that Baltimore is going to be one of the last teams standing. Lamar Jackson is so, so good.
5 – Los Angeles Chargers (LW: 5)
The Chargers have burned football fans in the past and I get it. I have a hard time trust them myself. Right now though, they appear well-put together.
6 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers (LW: 7)
I don’t think we give enough credit to Baker Mayfield in general for his time in Tampa Bay. He has them looking quite solid through two weeks.
7 – Los Angeles Rams (LW: 8)
The Rams are hard to trust as well, but there is zero reason to really doubt them.
8 – Detroit Lions (LW: 22)
It was clearly emotional for them to beat Ben Johnson. I am anxious to see how they fare against Baltimore.
9 – Indianapolis Colts (LW: 12)
I cannot believe that they are this high. Time will tell how real it is.
10 – Washington Commanders (LW: 4)
It doesn’t feel like the clock struck midnight necessarily, but it does seem like Washington has finally begun to regress a little. Fighting that off without Jayden Daniels for at least a week will be hard.
11 – San Francisco 49ers (LW: 14)
No Brock Purdy. No George Kittle. No problem. Obviously it was the Saints, but the whole world left the 49ers for dead and they are back.
12 – Dallas Cowboys (LW: 17)
If the offense can win the moments that matter the most then they can be in every game. Plus, the defense can’t be that bad every week, right? Right?
13 – Atlanta Falcons (LW: 18)
