- Green Bay Packers (1) – The champs showed off an unstoppable offense on opening night.
- New York Jets (2) – the Jets showcased their trademark escapability on Sunday night. This week should be spent correcting the reasons they spent so much time playing from behind.
- New England Patriots (3) – The Pats allowed too many points allowed to an average offense, but it will never matter if the passing game executes as well as it did in Miami.
- Philadelphia Eagles (4) – No contest in St. Louis for the ‘dream team’.
- Baltimore Ravens (6) – The Ravens turned a traditionally close rivalry game into a complete blowout. This should be a wave they can ride for a few weeks.
- San Diego Chargers (9) – the Bolts defense clamped down McNabb and Peterson and may finally begin a season on the right foot.
- New Orleans Saints – (8) Can’t fault the Saints for coming up on the short end in Green Bay. They played well enough to win against just about every other team in the league.
- Chicago Bears (NR) – The Bears handled a capable Falcon offense and got good play from a suspect offensive line Sunday.
- Pittsburgh Steelers – (2) The Steelers barely showed up in Baltimore.
- Atlanta Falcons (6) – The Falcons were surprisingly inept on offense in Chicago.
