How my rankings work:
If you lose, you drop, if you win you rise. You beat a good team you shoot up, you lose to a bad team and you drop further. You play good and lose, play bad and win, all these will be considered.
1. Dallas Cowboys (previously #5)
After the top four teams lost and after dominating my previously ranked #9 team, the Cincinnati Bengals, the Cowboys shoot up to #1.
The Cowboys have an explosive offense and ferocious defense can anyone stop them?
Leave it up to Philadelphia on Sunday, the game of the week.
2. New York Giants (#7)
The Giants absolutely dominated the Washington Redskins, and showed that they might still be the team that won it all last season.
Eli Manning made his case to be called an elite QB, Plaxico Burress looked like the best WR in the league, and the defense is still tough.
Next tough test Week 6 @ Cleveland
3. Pittsburgh Steelers (#8)
The Steelers dominated the Houston Texans in Steeler fashion. A tough defense and a strong running game.
Willie Parker is back. He rushed for 138 yards and 3 touchdowns.
Next test Week 2 @ Cleveland
4. New Orleans Saints (#10)
Beat Tampa Bay by the skin of their teeth, but their 1-0, and they beat a divisional foe.
Drew Brees threw for almost 350 yards in leading his team to the victory.
Next test Week 3 @ Denver
5. Buffalo Bills (Not Ranked in top 10)
The Bills destroyed Seattle by stopping them from passing, running, and winning.
Trent Edwards had just over 200 yards passing and Marshawn Lynch had 76 yards rushing but both looked sharp. The Bills played outstanding special teams and outstanding defense en route to their first win.
Next test Week 2 @ Jacksonville
6. New England Patriots (#3)
The Pats lost their top leader, top performer, most valuable player and anything else you want to call Tom Brady. Now it’s up to Matt Cassel, who has never started a college football game none-the-less a NFL game.
The Patriots barely skimmed by one of the NFL’s worst, the Kansas City Chiefs.
Next test Weeks 2-17
7. Carolina Panthers (NR)
They beat my previously ranked #1 Chargers, in a game many thought they’d get blown out in.
The Panthers played great defense, holding L.T. to under 100 yards rushing.
