PFT's Week 2 2026 NFL power rankings

1. Seahawks (last week No. 1; 1-0): They can win with Drew Lock. It’s unknown how long they’ll have to try to do that.2. Bills (No. 5; 1-0): If winning a regular-season game got Joe Brady to take off his shirt, he’ll be butt naked if they win in the playoffs.3. Bears (No. 6; 1-0): The 59 offense is possibly better than the 46 defense.4. Texans (No. 3; 0-1): Scoring 31 points should be more than enough for that defense.5. Jaguars (No. 9; 1-0): They won 34-10, and it felt way more lopsided than that. 6. Ravens (No. 10; 1-0): Derrick Henry may never lose a step.7. Bengals (No. 11; 1-0): In past years, they would have fully blown a 27-10 lead.8. Chiefs (No. 13; 1-0): Kenneth Walker III earned every penny of his contract in his debut, and then some.9. Eagles (No. 8; 1-0): A Week 1 escape vs. the Commanders answered no questions about whether they’ll be true contenders.10. 49ers (No. 15; 1-0): They turned the page decisively on all of those bizarre offseason storylines.11. Rams (No. 2; 0-1): They’re already all alone in last place of the NFC West.12. Broncos (No. 4; 0-1): Maybe they should have tried to get Drew Brees to come back for last night’s game, too.13. Patriots (No. 7; 0-1): Fortunately, blowing it twice in the same game counts as only one loss.14. Lions (No. 14; 1-0): The Lions had better hope the Saints are destined to be really good this year.15. Vikings (No. 19; 1-0): For the second straight year, the Vikings woke up just in time to get a key division win in Week 1.16. Giants (No. 20; 1-0): Jaxson Dart is the real deal, as long as he can stay healthy.17. Steelers (No. 18; 1-0): For the second time in three years, T.J. Watt personally delivered a win over the Falcons in Week 1.18. Cardinals (No. 32; 1-0): Jacoby Brissett is better than you realize.19. Chargers (No. 12; 0-1): Who’s got it better than us? Don’t ask.20. Packers (No. 16; 0-1): Matt LaFleur should be very happy he got that extension. 21. Saints (No. 24; 0-1): They may already be the best team in the division.22. Cowboys (No. 17; 0-1): Like every year, the offseason’s delusion gets a hard dose of reality. 23. Panthers (No. 21; 0-1): The Panthers have only themselves to blame for giving the Bears the pick that became Caleb Williams.24. Buccaneers (No. 22; 0-1): The Browns are the perfect antidote to a Week 1 clunker.25. Colts (No. 23; 0-1): They get plenty of hype every year, and they ultimately don’t deliver. 26. Jets (No. 29; 1-0): Welcome back, Geno.27. Raiders (No. 30; 1-0): They started 1-0 last year, too.28. Commanders (No. 27; 0-1): At least they didn’t get blown out.29. Falcons (No. 25; 0-1): Maybe they should have just kept Kirk Cousins.30. Titans (No. 26; 0-1): It could be another long year in Nashville. 31. Dolphins (No. 28; 0-1): They aren’t tanking; they’re just not good. 32. Browns (No. 31; 0-1): Prediction — Dillon Gabriel will be the starter by Week 10.
