1. Bills (2-0; No. 1): An unexpectedly big challenge looms in Miami. It’s hard to see them not go through with it.
2. Chiefs (2-0; No. 2): The offense is great and the defense is good enough to step up on nights when the offense isn’t playing like that.
3. Buccaneers (2-0; No. 3): Offense is pretty good, defense good enough to step up in the afternoon.
4. Eagles (2-0; No. 5): Great offense and pretty good defense.
5. Rams (1-1; 4th): We still have a lot of work to do to get back to where we were last year.
6. Dolphins (2-0; No. 12): TuAnon is going mainstream.
7. Packers (1-1; 8th): They got the win, but are they ready to compete with the Bucks? We’ll find out on Sunday.
8. 49ers (1-1, 9th): Trey Lance’s experiment postponed for a year. The more games the team can win without him, the better.
9. The Ravens (1-1, 6th): The team coached by John Harbaugh shouldn’t take a big lead.
10. Cowboys (1-1; No. 17): Every win at Cooper Rush puts money in the bank for Duck’s return.
11. Bengals (0-2; 7th): It’s not panic time yet, but it’s coming soon.
12. Charger (1-1; No. 11): This could be a great year if you can stay healthy.
13. Titans (0-2; No. 10): Ryan Tannehill’s days aren’t over yet, but they’re holding onto the ropes of the curtain.
14. Patriots (1-1; No. 20): It wasn’t pretty. Most of their wins this year probably won’t.
15. Steelers (1-1; No. 13): The Steelers aren’t good enough to drop interceptions or muff punts.
16. Cardinals (1-1; No. 21): Let Kyler do the cooking.
17. Raiders (0-2; No. 15): Mark Davis made the right decision to skip Sunday’s game.
18. Jaguars (1-1; No. 31): 1st in AFC South? 1st in AFC South.
19. Jets (1-1; No. 32): Garrett Wilson will be the star of this league.
20. Saints (1-1; No. 19): One team woke up after the brawl, the other didn’t.
21. Giants (2-0; No. 25): An early victory under the new regime wins the players’ approval.
22. Browns (1-1, 16th): If the Jets Browns were playing in prime time, Kevin Stefanski was treated like Nathaniel Hackett all week for late clock management. I guess.
23. Vikings (1-1; No. 18): Changing coaches doesn’t improve Kirk Cousins in prime time.
24. Seahawks (1-1, 22nd): The only thing this team has in common with the 1972 Dolphins is their overall approach to offensive football.
25. Broncos (1-1; No. 24): Winning feels like losing when the coach looks like a deer in the headlights.
26. Lions (1-1; No. 30): The Lions have a chance to grab everyone’s attention in Minnesota this weekend.
27. Washington (1-1, 23rd): They played well in the first half of the game they decided to play.
28. Bears (1-1; No. 27): Not as bad as the final score would suggest, but still not good.
29. Falcons (0-2; No. 28): Stay in this zip code until you start winning.
30. Texans (0-1-1; No. 29): “Work in progress” may be a t-shirt slogan for a while.
31. Panthers (0-2; No. 26): Matt Rule will do well in Nebraska next year.
32. Colts (0-1-1; No. 14): Perhaps the problem wasn’t Carson Wentz.
