Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season was full of surprises as we welcomed back football. With the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys kicking off this week with a Thursday night matchup, that fast-paced game (at least in the first half) was a great way to start.

Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills lead off our Week 2 NFL Power Rankings after a furious 22-point performance in the fourth quarter. A late Matt Prater field goal sealed the deal for Buffalo, who earned a key early-season win.
Keon Coleman crossed the 100-yard mark and Dalton Kincaid caught an early TD as the Bills jumped to the top of the AFC East.

Their 27-13 victory was because of a well-balanced approach on both sides of the ball, one that also didn’t ask a ton of Jordan Love.
Love only threw for 188 yards and two touchdowns in the win, finding Jayden Reed and Tucker Kraft for scores. Josh Jacobs found the end zone on one of his 19 carries, and Micah Parsons’ debut saw him earn a sack in rotational duty as he ramps up to a full snap count.
It was far from the well-oiled machine that they were last year, but the Denver Broncos used 10 second-half points to earn their first win of the season in Week 1. In their win over the Tennessee Titans, the Denver defense held number one overall pick Cam Ward to only...
