Well I said, I'd be back to update my Top rankings and here I am after Week 1. There have been some strange, and amazing events happen already in the kickoff to the NFL Season. I'm here to rank the Top 10 teams after week one. I will be basin my ranks on how well a team looked top to bottom, not just by the amount of points a team scored.

1.     Dallas Cowboys (1-0 Next Game: At Philadelphia) - Terrell Owens caught 5 passes for 87 yards with a 35-yard touchdown from Tony Romo. Romo effortlessly picked apart host Cleveland’s secondary and the rest of the defense, going 24-of-32 for 320 yards. But a lot of the credit goes to Marion Barber, Felix Jones, and the offensive line. Barber had a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs, while rushing 16 times for 80 yards. Felix Jones rushed 9 times for 62 yards, while scoring a touchdown on his first carry as an NFL running back. The defense, with Adam “Don’t Call Me PacMan” Jones starting, played well and stopped the Browns high-octane offense. If they play this dominant all year, say hello Super Bowl.

2.     Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0 Next Game: At Cleveland) – “Fast” Willie Parker ran for 138 yards and 3 touchdowns on 25 carries. “Big” Ben Roethlisberger threw 2 touchdowns to Hines Ward. Big Ben missed only one attempt while going 13-of-14 for 137 before being lifted in the third quarter for what is being called shoulder soreness. Rookie running back Rashard Mendenhall rushed for 28 yards on 10 carries. With the win Sunday, the Steelers won their sixth straight opener, the NFL’s longest streak since Miami won 11 from 1992-2002. Expect these performances throughout the entire season.

3.     Philadelphia Eagles (1-0 Next Game: At Dallas) – Donovan McNabb was 21-of-33 for 361 yards and 3 touchdowns, including a 90-yard touchdown pass to Hank Baskett. Rookie wide receiver DeSean Jackson, the first Eagles rookie wide receiver to start a season opener in 18 years, had 6 catches for 106 yards and returned a punt 60 yards, which set up a field goal. Brian Westbrook rushed for 91 yards on 19 carries, and a touchdown; he also had a touchdown catch. I believe the defense is going to be something special this year, stopping Marc Bulger, Jackson, and Co. Sunday. I see a lot of points for this team, as long as they stay healthy, and a solid defense all year.

4.     Green Bay Packers (1-0 Next Game: At Detroit) – The Era of Aaron Rodgers has begun, and boy has it ever started on a high note. Rodgers sowed poise, confidence, arm strength, mobility, and the will to win. He was 18-of-22 for 178 yards and 1 touchdown; he also ran for 35 yards and 1 touchdown also. Ryan Grant didn’t look slowed down, running for 92 yards on 12 carries. The defense looked good, and didn’t give up a homerun play for a touchdown to Adrian Peterson
