MTP Wk 3 Power Rankings
1. Cowboys - Week 2 Result: Won vs. New York Jets 30-10
The Dallas Cowboys are setting the league on fire, and their defense is emerging as a true game-changer. While Dak Prescott delivered an efficient performance, it's the relentless Dallas defense that's been the talk of the town. Allowing just 215 total yards, forcing four turnovers, and incessantly harassing the Jets' Zach Wilson, the Cowboys are proving to be a multifaceted juggernaut.
2. 49ers - Week 2 Result: Won at Los Angeles Rams 30-23
The San Francisco 49ers showcase their depth and talent in a triumphant win over the reigning NFC champions. Even when quarterback Brock Purdy had an off-game, the 49ers demonstrated their ability to win as a cohesive unit. With a potent offense and a playmaking defense, they're proving themselves as a formidable contender in the NFL.
3. Eagles - Week 2 Result: Won vs. Minnesota 34-28
The Philadelphia Eagles are off to a promising 2-0 start, but it's not all smooth sailing. Jalen Hurts and his team are notching victories, but there are rough edges that require smoothing. Despite some hiccups, they're showcasing their ability to compete, and they remain a team worth keeping an eye on.
4. Chiefs - Week 2 Result: Won at Jacksonville 17-9
In a matchup that promised fireworks, the Kansas City Chiefs had to grind out a hard-fought victory. Patrick Mahomes remains a shining star, acknowledging the need for improvement while praising the defense for holding the Jaguars at bay. Even when they're not at their best, the Chiefs stand tall as the team to beat in their division.
5. Dolphins - Week 2 Result: Won at New England 24-17
The Miami Dolphins are making a strong case for themselves among the AFC's elite. With back-to-back road wins against respectable opponents, they're displaying consistency on both sides of the ball. Tua Tagovailoa is playing at an elite level, and the Dolphins possess a dynamic offense capable of competing with the league's best.
6. Ravens - Week 2 Result: Won at Cincinnati 27-24
The Baltimore Ravens made a resounding statement with their victory over the reigning AFC North champions. Lamar Jackson's impressive performance, a dominant ground game, and a stingy defense are proving that the Ravens can go toe-to-toe with any team in the league. They're quietly building a strong case for themselves.
7. Bills - Week 2 Result: Won vs. Las Vegas 38-10
Following a disappointing Week 1, the Buffalo Bills bounced back in style. Josh Allen led the charge with a mistake-free performance, and the defense shut down the Raiders. These Bills look like a serious contender and a threat to anyone in their path.
8. Jags - Week 2 Result: Lost vs. Kansas City 17-9
Despite the pre-game chatter about payback, the Jacksonville Jaguars' offense couldn't deliver against the Chiefs. Trevor Lawrence acknowledged the embarrassing performance and vowed to improve. Until they find their rhythm, it's hard to view them as Super Bowl contenders.
9. Falcons - Week 2 Result: Won vs. Green Bay 25-24
The Atlanta Falcons are turning back the clock and winning games with old-school football. A commitment to the run game is paying off, and they have the makings of a balanced squad. With a two-man backfield and a solid defense, they're a team to keep an eye on.
10. Bucs - Week 2 Result: Won vs. Chicago 27-17
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are off to a solid start with Baker Mayfield at the helm. Mayfield's rapport with Mike Evans is promising, and the Buccaneers are showing they can adapt to a new era. A big test awaits them as they face the defending NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles next week.
