The NFL Power Rankings are back for a second season. Check back each week for updated rankings. Feel free to leave feedback about how wrong I am in the comments section or throw me an email cosburn@thefatherlife.com.
| Team | TW | LW | Record | |
 |
1 | NR | 1-0 | Drew Brees is on pace for 96 touchdown passes this season. Too bad he can’t play the Lions every week. |
 |
2 | NR | 1-0 | Ben Roethlisberger should buy Santonio Holmes a Roethlis-burger after his week one performance. |
 |
3 | NR | 1-0 | Do you think Matt Ryan is glad he’s got Tony Gonzalez on his team? Uh, yea. |
 |
4 | NR | 1-0 | Wow, that Joe Flacco has an arm. I don’t remember that from last year. |
 |
5 | NR | 1-0 | Sorry Jim Harbaugh, Tom Brady is the new Captain Comeback. |
 |
6 | NR | 1-0 | Wow, is Mark Sanchez this year’s Matt Ryan? |
 |
7 | NR | 1-0 | How will Mcnabb’s injury hurt Philly? Is Vick primed to be the starter when he’s reinstated? |
 |
8 | NR | 1-0 | The Colts offense looks to have lost a step without Dominic Rhodes and Marvin Harrison, but it’s ok because the defense is dirtay. |
 |
9 | NR | 1-0 | Let’s call him Philip “Steve Austin” Rivers, because he’s the $93 million dollar man. |
 |
10 | NR | 1-0 | Is there a harder name to spell in the NFL than Osi Umenyiora? |
 |
11 | NR | 1-0 | Brett Fav-rah had a great game plan. Hand it off to Adrian Peterson and let him run wild. |
 |
12 | NR | 0-1 | Not going to start off 10-0, but still look mighty good. |
 |
13 | NR | 1-0 | Tony Romo got my fantasy team 26 points and led team “WhataboutBrettFavra” to victory this week. Who needs T.O.? |
 |
14 | NR | 1-0 | “Rodgers completes the pass to Jennings” is something we are going to hear a lot during the next few years. |
 |
15 | NR | 1-0 | Frank Gore had 22 rushes for 30 yards. I’m pretty sure I could rush for 30 yards if you gave me 22 carries. |
 |
16 | NR | 1-0 | Kyle Orton = better than Jay Cutler. |
 |
17 | NR | 1-0 | John Carlson is the best tight end in the NFL. There, I said it. Go Notre Dame. |
 |
18 | NR | 0-1 | The Cardinals are setting themselves up to barely make the playoffs again. |
 |
19 | NR | 0-1 | Same ol’ Buffalo Bills. More games like this and you can say hello to the Toronto Bills. |
 |
20 | NR | 0-1 | Tampa had 450 total yards and still lost. I thought the offense was the problem in the preseason. |
 |
21 | NR | 0-1 | The wildcat didn’t seem to scare the Falcon’s D. Has the rest of the league caught on? |
 |
22 | NR | 0-1 | Tough loss. How they turn it around will decide whether they sit at the big boys table or the kiddies table. |
 |
23 | NR | 0-1 | Sound the alarms! Brian Urlachers is out for the year and Jay Cutler is a bust. Too soon? |
 |
24 | NR | 0-1 | London Fletcher is only five feet tall and still had 11 tackles on Sunday. |
 |
25 | NR | 0-1 | Jake Delhomme has eleven turnovers in his last two games. Ouch. |
 |
26 | NR | 0-1 | The Raiders almost looked like a real football team on Monday night. |
 |
27 | NR | 0-1 | Looked like last year’s Chiefs without savior Matt Cassel |
 |
28 | NR | 0-1 | Isn’t this supposed to be the year the Texans finally make the playoffs? |
 |
29 | NR | 0-1 | Ouch, the bungles lost on a tipped pass. Almost as bad of an ending as the Bills/Patriots. |
 |
30 | NR | 0-1 | 2009 Browns: Just as terrible with Brady Quinn. |
 |
31 | NR | 0-1 | How the Rams didn’t end up in last place in my rankings I’ll never know. |
 |
32 | NR | 0-1 | We find the Lions just where we left them, in last place. |
