Week 2 is behind us. Let's take a look at the latest installment of the AFC Power Rankings.
BTSC AFC Power Rankings, Week 2Team | Comment |
---|---|
1. Indianapolis | You know you?re good when you throw for 400 yards and nobody notices. Finally a real test this week against the Jags. |
2. Baltimore | The defense followed up their shutout in Week 1 with an equally impressive encore on Sunday. |
3. Jacksonville | Beating the defending Super Bowl champs puts the Jaguars in the top 3. |
4. Cincinnati | Rudi Johnson got going in Week 2. The defense only gave up 3 pts until the fourth quarter. |
5. San Diego | The NFL?s #1 rush defense last year looks even better this year. Whether Rivers is far enough along to lead them deep in the playoffs is yet to be determined. |
6. New England | The Patriots survived a late charge from Pennington and the Jets to improve to 2-0. I?m still not convinced they have the artillery to win the AFC though. |
7. Pittsburgh | The Steelers can find their way back into the top 5 with a statement win at home against the divisional rival Bengals. |
8. Denver | The Broncos defense carried the team to victory against the Chiefs. When will the offense get going? |
9. Bufallo | The Bills went on the road and shutdown Miami. Has J.P Lohsman really covered the spread in back-to-back road games?!? |
10. New York Jets | The Jets proved why they?re a year or two away on Sunday. They fought back admirably, but were overmatched against the Patriots, even at home. |
11. Kansas City | Coach Edwards has the defense playing tough, but the offense has yet to do anything. |
12. Cleveland | The Brownies are going to have a hard time in the uber-tough AFC North. |
13. Miami | A late, garbage-time TD was all Culpepper and the Fins could muster up at home against the Bills? Yikes. |
14. Houston | The defense got thrashed by Peyton and the Colts. On the bright side, David Carr looked great throwing the ball. |
15. Tennessee | Kerry Collins finished the first half with 0 first downs. How does that happen? |
16. Oakland | It still may not be too late to liquidate all your assets to bet against the Raiders. They?re that bad folks. |
