Week 2 Top 10
1. Philadelphia Eagles
Jalen Hurts silenced the naysayers with a stellar Week 1 showing against the Cowboys, reminding everyone why he’s a Super Bowl MVP. His legs were the difference-maker in the red zone, and with Hurts picking up the slack for Saquon Barkley, the Eagles continue to roll over divisional opponents.
2. Buffalo Bills
The pesky Bills snatched victory from the jaws of defeat against the Ravens. Josh Allen’s late-game heroics once again proved why you can never write off Buffalo—they’re a contender as long as No. 17 is under center.
3. Baltimore Ravens
For 58 minutes, Baltimore looked like the better team against Buffalo. But familiar issues—self-inflicted mistakes and late-game collapses—kept them from sealing the deal. Until the Ravens clean that up, it’s hard to put them in the top tier of Super Bowl favorites.
4. Kansas City Chiefs
A surprising early-season stumble drops the defending AFC champs, but Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid’s track record speaks for itself. No one’s counting the Chiefs out.
5. Green Bay Packers
The Micah Parsons trade has already paid dividends. Even with the All-Pro defender a bit banged up, his disruptive presence fuels a turnover-hungry defense that makes life miserable for opponents. Add in a steadily improving offense, and the Packers look like a real NFC threat.
6. Los Angeles Rams
Sean McVay’s team is built for any style of fight—whether it’s a 35–31 shootout or a 20–17 slugfest. With grit on both sides of the ball and a coach who knows how to win ugly or with flair, the Rams look playoff-ready.
7. Los Angeles Chargers
Jim Harbaugh has quickly built a heavyweight in L.A. With a franchise QB, a strong running game, and a nasty defense, this team checks all the boxes. After knocking off a division rival in Brazil, the rest of the league should be paying close attention.
8. Minnesota Vikings
It wasn’t perfect, but J.J. McCarthy showed why Minnesota spent the 12th overall pick on him. The rookie flashed the highs and lows you expect, but when it mattered most, he delivered in a comeback win over the Bears.
9. Denver Broncos
It wasn’t pretty, but it counts. Denver leaned on its stingy defense and just enough from Bo Nix to beat the Titans. Sean Payton has plenty to fix if the Broncos want to hang with the elite, but starting 1–0 makes that job a little easier.
10. Washington Commanders
Jayden Daniels is already building a legit MVP case. His dual-threat ability and leadership have the Commanders looking more like a seasoned playoff squad than a rebuilding team. Washington is taking care of business early.
