NFL Week 3 Power Rankings

Some shake up in the top 10 again with the top 2 still intact. A few surprising 2-0 teams and a few surprising 0-2 teams.

Here is how the rankings stack up for Week 3:

Week 3
Rank (Last week)
1)(1) New Orleans Saints (2-0): It was not pretty, but they showed enough poise to hold off the 49ers when it counted.
2)(2) Green Bay Packers (2-0): They took advantage of a bad Bills team all day.
3)(7) Houston Texans (2-0): They needed some luck at the end and a bit of skill to remain unbeaten.
4)(5) Indianapolis Colts (1-1): They took out their Week frustrations all night against the Giants.
5)(8) Pittsburgh Steelers (2-0): Their defense is back to form and could be a bad sign for the league once their offense is back intact.
6)(3) Baltimore Ravens (1-1): They might have run out of steam after their Monday night win or a few bad calls could have contributed to the loss as well.
7)(11) New York Jets (1-1): They showed that they can regain focus after a tough loss and make a divisional statement.
8)(4) New England Patriots (1-1): A big letdown by QB Tom Brady and the offense in the second half cost them a winnable game.
9)(14) Miami Dolphins (2-0): They have two tough division games ahead that can establish the AFC East front runner.
10)(13) Atlanta Falcons (1-1): That type of play on offense could spring them the NFC South crown.
11)(15) Cincinnati Bengals (1-1): The AFC North is still in sight again after a tough division victory.
12)(12) San Diego Chargers (1-1): Beating up the Jaguars should help after their Week 1 upset.
13)(16) Washington Redskins (1-1): They had the Texans beat and let them off the hook.
14)(23) Chicago Bears (2-0): This team is starting to show potential for a balanced attack on both sides of the ball.
15)(9) Tennessee Titans (1-1): They ran into a tough Steelers defense and HB Chris Johnson got shut down.
16)(18) Philadelphia Eagles (1-1): QB Mike Vick will be depended on to keep defenses confused.
17)(6) Minnesota Vikings (0-2): They continue to miss a big play guy like WR Sidney Rice.
18)(10) Dallas Cowboys (0-2): Another dud of a performance for a team that is supposed to compete for a Super Bowl.
19)(17) New York Giants (1-1): They looked even sloppier this week.
20)(24) Kansas City Chiefs (2-0): They have a good chance to get to 3-0 against a shaky 49ers team.
21)(29) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-0): Might be the biggest surprise at 2-0. Tough test against Steelers this week.
22)(21) San Francisco 49ers (0-2): Keeping the defending champions close should build confidence.
23)(25) Denver Broncos (1-1): They are still a bit of enigma in terms of their talent.
24)(19) Jacksonville Jaguars (1-1): Their defense was sliced apart by the Chargers.
25)(20) Arizona Cardinals (1-1): They are starting to wish they had a solid quarterback.
26)(22) Seattle Seahawks (1-1): A big letdown after their opener.
27)(28) Oakland Raiders (1-1): It was not the greatest win, but it still counts.
28)(27) Detroit Lions (0-2): Another close ending resulting in a loss.
29)(30) St. Louis Rams (0-2): They have come close to being 2-0.
30)(26) Carolina Panthers (0-2): A change at quarterback couldn't hurt.
31)(31) Cleveland Browns (0-2): They keep games close, but lack the talent to seal the deal.
32)(32) Buffalo Bills (0-2): They are scrambling for answers at multiple areas.

Some good games ahead this week including a 2-0 Steelers vs a 2-0 Buccaneers. 8 teams are undefeated and 8 teams are still to win.
