Once Week 1 of the regular season is over, it’s time to review our NFL Power Rankings
He concluded the week 1 of the regular season and, at least on this occasion, the teams of the NFL they left the worst for last. the champions Tampa Bay Buccaneers they opened the defense of their title of super Bowl with a magnificent performance on Thursday night, and on Sunday there were several interesting matches, with bells included
Las Vegas Raiders i Baltimore Ravens they gave a great show at the closing of the week 1 a “Football Monday nightThe start of the campaign could not have been more promising.
Many weeks of excitement await us so, without further ado, we order the franchises of the NFL according to what was shown after the first duels of the year.
Note: The numbers in parentheses correspond to the position of each team in the previous week.
It is true that the Jeans they made them suffer more than budgeted and their defense allowed more than 400 yards per air, but if Antonio Brown returns to its version of SteelersThen the defensive can be given more days of “rest.” – LMV
The match against Brown reminded us that to win Patrick Mahomes and the HeadsYou need to play almost perfect for 60 minutes, without losing focus, instead of building a lead and waiting to hold it for 60 minutes. – RZ
No one expected them Saints had only the opportunity to take part in the Packers and reality was diametrically opposed, New Orleans controlled the offensive of Aaron Rodgers i Jameis Winston demonstrated that he can take the baton at the head of a franchise accustomed to destroying its rivals with a powerful attack. – CE
A Seattle he had enough of an acceptable first half of the offensive to inaugurate his column of triumphs, but his divisional rivals, from the start, proved to be ready for now for the challenge that means the West of the National. It will be a quarterless war. – LMV
if the Cardinals they do not want to extend the contract of Chandler Jones, There are 31 other teams that would gladly agree to add the linebacker to their ranks after a five-catch performance. – RZ
Matthew Stafford he had a more than perfect debut in his new offense, he showed that with his powerful arm and the speed of the receivers he can wreak havoc on rivals, but the defense has to raise his level because not every week they will face such limited attacks with that of Chicago. – CE
Take a victory a Buffalo it seemed almost an impossible task, but you only have to see the adjustments in the middle of both sides for the second half to lean 23-6 for the visitors. – LMV
The duo of the veteran Yannick Ngakoue with Maxx Crosby can be something really special for las Vegas, Particularly if the injury of Gerald McCoy it does not result in anything serious, and can bring pressure from within. – RZ
It is true that the Brown they lost in Kansas City, But there is little to claim from a team that scored 29 points as a visitor when in front of it Patrick Mahomes. The ground attack looks more than solid and the air play needs to improve when it returns to activity Odell Beckham Jr.. – CE
The performance of Justin Herbert against a defensive like that of Washington it requires more recognition, but they also can’t aspire to many triumphs if every weekend they’re going to be asking you to throw almost half a hundred passes. – LMV
Triumph in Week 1, yes, but two worrying trends came to light for San Francisco: Kyle Shanahan’s injuries and incredible ability to lose touch after building a major advantage. – RZ
The Dolphins made clear something we already knew, their defense is solid and Tua Tagovailoa does not have the ability to ignite this offensive, the latter will not be a problem against low-level teams or those who are in the early stages of their reconstruction, but the story will be different against rivals who can put points on the scoreboard. – CE
Josh Allen was strangely inaccurate in the past, I want to think that it is still the rust of a long recess and that we will soon see it return to the way it puts the Invoices as one of the contenders. – LMV
If what he offered Alejandro Villanueva in Week 1 is what he intends to play week by week, this team is worse on the offensive line than it was last season, and that’s worrisome. The injury of Tire Phillips, Which seemed to be serious, does not help. – RZ
the Eagles they left a pleasant taste in the mouth on both sides of the ball, first they extinguished the attack of Matt Ryan and the Falcons after two series, they then ignited a dynamic attack led by Jalen hurts, probably Philadelphia it won’t be contending, but it will be a fun team to watch. – CE
There is no such thing as moral victories, but certainly starting this way in the house of the champion can leave a certain sweet taste in Dallas to know that games that are defined by a possession can tilt to your side after the failures of Greg Zuerlein. – LMV
They do not have the reputation of other groups, but the open receptors of Carolina they have the talent to put anyone in trouble. – RZ
the Patriots they found their future quarterback in Mac Jones and while it will surely make beginner mistakes, we should not rule it out New England as a candidate team to qualify as a wildcard this year. – CE
to the Packers they were not warned that the preseason was over and, beyond the pride, with which Aaron Rodgers he referred to defeat against the Saints, They shone away from that hungry team he said In front of Adams before starting the campaign. – LMV
It was really great to see Joe Burrow resume where he stayed until before the injury last season. – RZ
Injury of the open receptor Jerry Jeudy is a hard blow for an offensive of the Broncos that he needs all the help he can get competing in a division as complicated as the AFC West. – CE
The defense shone in front of the rookie Trevor LawrenceBut now we’ll see how close or far from reality this is when measured at Baker Mayfield and the powerful arsenal of the Brown. – LMV
He did not expect to see them pass over him on the offensive line of the Titans as happened on Sunday, but I did not see most of the convictions of Derrick Henry with the ball in his hands. – RZ
In their need to ignite the offensive, the Vikings they shouted from a play by the side in which the receiver opened Justin Jefferson throw a pass for an 11-yard gain and ended up receiving a hard blow from the defensive end, fortunately for Minnesota it had no consequences, but it should be a wake-up call that should not unnecessarily risk your best offensive player. – CE
It’s hard to draw conclusions after just one game, but the main calm in Indianapolis is to see how little competition there will be in South America or maybe it was just a bad day for the Titans. – LMV
It will always catch my eye when a coach (Ron Rivera) Talk so many wonders about a substitute quarterback (Taylor Heinicke), When you have no more options. not only Rivera he relegated him to the bench this summer, but it was he who left him out of the squad Panthers three years ago. Do you fully trust him now? – RZ
the Lions they agreed too late that they had scored points to aspire to win the game and even though they got too close to the 49ers in the final minutes, this was due more to the mistakes of their rivals than to their own successes. It will be a very long season in Detroit. – CE
One of the coaches who comes with the rope around his neck is precisely Matt Nagy and it ‘s right now when you need your bet on Andy Dalton results before the voices asking for a continue to accumulate Justin Fields as the holder. – LMV
The screenshot that circulated through the networks of this match, with Matt Ryan thrown, perfectly sums up everything we saw of Atlanta in his campaign debut, starting with the level of the quarterback himself. – RZ
It must have been particularly painful for them Jets see succeed on the other side a Sam Darnold, The quarterback they gave up looking for a fresh start with Zach Wilson. This is a clear sign that the team could be choosing good quarterbacks, the problem is that they do not give him the weapons to succeed in New York. – CE
You really aspire little by little in a game in which your runner leader is Daniel Jones and no Saquon Barkley and their brilliant number of yards per floor is 27. We’ll see how much they can correct between now and Thursday. – LMV
I don’t know if it will improve, how much it will improve, or how quickly it will improve, though Urban Meyer he is making mistakes on the right and left on purely sporting issues such as the selection of plays and staff that – many of us think – would be blowing and making bottles. – RZ
They participated in these NFL Power Rankings for ESPN: Erick Cervantes (EC), Luis Miguel Vasavilbaso (LMV) and Rafael Zamorano (RZ).
