2020 NFL power rankings, Week 2: Packers roll, 49ers stunned
team. 32. . 1-0. Previous: . Arizona Cardinals. 9
A year ago, the Cardinals showed some improvement late in the season but the club still finished last in the NFC West for the second straight year. The team was swept by the conference champion 49ers but Kyler Murray had other plans on Sunday. He ran 13 times for 91 yards and one score, threw for 230 yards and one touchdown (1 interception) and the Cards came away with the win. DeAndre Hopkins pulled down 14 passes for 151 yards.
8. team. 35. . 0-0. Previous: . Tennessee Titans
The Titans got hot when it counted most a year ago, winning seven of their final 10 games regular-season contests and then surprised both the Patriots and the Ravens on the road in the playoffs before succumbing to the eventual Super Bowl champion Chiefs. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill and workhorse runner Derrick Henry both got paid this offseason and the team recently added Jadeveon Clowney. But defensive back Logan Ryan will certainly be missed.
36. . 1-0. Previous: . Seattle Seahawks. 7. team
Russell Wilson has a baseball pedigree and he did his best to pitch a perfect game at Atlanta. Despite being sacked three times, the nine-year pro hit on 31-of-35 throws for 322 yards and four scores – two to running back Chris Carson, one to wideout D.K. Metcalf and the other to tight end Greg Olsen. He also led the club with 29 yards rushing. Seattle’s defense gave up 506 total yards but Pete Carroll’s team came up with a pair of takeaways.
