After getting it handed to them, the Packers need to come back strong. You can’t really ever count Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense out. But for the second time in 2017, the Falcons got the best of the Pack.
9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0, Last Week: 10)
Tampa Bay took down the Bears on Sunday, starting out their season on a high note. Their defense looked sharp and Winston came out of the gates ready to play. If the teams comes with that same energy every game, the Buccaneers may surprise many NFL fans out there.
8. Dallas Cowboys (1-1, Last Week: 1)
The Cowboys showed major flaws on defense in their affair with Denver on Sunday. After a weather delay, the team came back flat as can be. Dallas let Trevor Siemian throw for four touchdown on them, not something you’d like to see if you’re a Dallas coach. With Ezekiel Elliot rushing for less than a yard per carry, you must try to bounce back against Arizona.
7. Denver Broncos (2-0, Last Week: 17)

Moving up ten spots is Denver. The team showed a fantastic game against the Cowboys as they completely shut Ezekiel Elliot down. The defense in that was superb alongside Trevor Siemian throwing for four touchdowns on the Cowboys D.
6. Detroit Lions (2-0, Last Week: 8)
Matt Stafford is shutting the haters up. The Lions are now moving up in the ranks of the NFL through the fantastic play of Matt Stafford and some nicely-executed defense. The next test for Jim Caldwell and the Lions are the Atlanta Falcons as the Lions tough schedule continues.
5. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-0, Last Week: 6)
Another nice win for Pittsburgh moves them up another spot on my rankings. Big Ben with another nice performance alongside Le’Veon Bell and Martavis Bryant. Pittsburgh now has Chicago up as they look to stay undefeated.
4. Atlanta Falcons (2-0, Last Week: 7)
Now time to stay consistent. The Falcons have finished taking down probably their biggest threat in the NFC, it’s time for Matt Ryan and company to stay on the winning path and not let little mistakes ruin the big picture. The goal for Atlanta is obvious, win the Superbowl.
3. New England Patriots (1-1, Last Week: 4)
The Patriots got their first win of the season on Sunday against the horrid Saints defense. Tom Brady turned in a fantastic performance, causing Rob Gronkowski to also have a nice game. The goal is still the same for New England as they’ll travel back home to take on rookie Deshaun Watson and the Houston Texans.
2. Oakland Raiders (2-0, Last Week: 3)

What a week it was for the Raiders. They’re stadium was electric as their team blew the Jets out. Michael Crabtree turned in quite the performance, catching three touchdowns. The Raiders are keeping their momentum going heading into Washington on Sunday Night.
1. Kansas City Chiefs (2-0, Last Week: 2)

Kansas City plays quality football. So far this season they’ve taken down two very good teams. With Tyreek Hill, Kareem Hunt and Travis Kelce at Alex Smith’s disposal, it looks like the Chiefs have a realistic shot at taking home a Superbowl this season.
