The Philadelphia Eagles looked great in their opener, while the Green Bay Packers were pummeled by the New Orleans Saints.

NFL power rankings: Week 2

Pick Analysis. LW: 30. 32. player. 52. Scouting Report. 0-1. Jacksonville Jaguars

Urban Meyer is already looking for the escape hatch to LSU or USC. What a total mess.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. LW: 27. New York Jets. 30. 0-1. 31. player

Zach Wilson might be great, but it’s hard to tell with six guys hanging off him every play.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 0-1. Atlanta Falcons. 44. LW: 25. 30. player

The Falcons should be contracted after that effort. Just pitiful in every sense.

50. Pick Analysis. 0-1. 29. player. Scouting Report. LW: 31. Detroit Lions

Dan Campbell’s team fought like hell even though they were woefully outclassed.

Houston Texans. Scouting Report. LW: 32. 1-0. 28. player. 10. Pick Analysis

David Culley gets his first win, and the Texans have something to smile about … finally.

player. 31. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 0-1. LW: 26. New York Giants. 27

Terrible news for Giants fans: Daniel Jones and the offensive line appear to be unchanged.

LW: 29. 26. player. 56. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 1-0. Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals get a nice win to start the season, and now head to Chicago? Could 2-0 happen?

LW: 22. 25. 57. Scouting Report. 0-1. Chicago Bears. player. Pick Analysis

The defense was a mess, and is only getting a pass because everyone wants Justin Fields.

54. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. LW: 28. 24. 1-0. Philadelphia Eagles. player

Jalen Hurts looked great, DeVonta Smith had a touchdown and Nick Sirianni got it done.

Washington Football Team. 23. 58. Pick Analysis. 0-1. LW: 19. player. Scouting Report

With Ryan Fitzpatrick hurt, Washington is going to have to rely heavily on its defense.

1-0. LW: 23. Carolina Panthers. 22. player. Pick Analysis. 87. Scouting Report

It’s the Jets, but Sam Darnold looked good, the defense was terrific and the weapons are there.

Scouting Report. 0-1. LW: 18. 46. Pick Analysis. Indianapolis Colts. 21. player

No blocking, no defense and Carson Wentz turning the ball over. Not an idea start in Indy.

60. Pick Analysis. LW: 13. Minnesota Vikings. 20. player. Scouting Report. 0-1

New year, same nonsense. Kirk Cousins checking down, poor line play and breakdowns galore.

Scouting Report. LW: 24. Las Vegas Raiders. player. Pick Analysis. 1-0. 19. 28

That was the most bizarre, exhausting game I can remember. What a rollercoaster.

18. 123. Scouting Report. Dallas Cowboys. LW: 20. player. Pick Analysis. 0-1

The Cowboys lost but move up two spots. Dak Prescott is back, and that’s enough in this division.

45. LW: 21. 1-0. Denver Broncos. 17. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

Denver’s defense was solid, and now the Jaguars and Jets grace the schedule. Here comes 3-0?

47. New England Patriots. 16. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 0-1. LW: 14

Mac Jones was solid, but the Patriots couldn’t finish drives. They’ll need to clean up the red zone.

0-1. 15. LW: 10. Tennessee Titans. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 35

Well, the defense was terrible. The offense was terrible. It was a horrid day for the Titans.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Miami Dolphins. 14. player. 1-0. LW: 15. 59

Tua Tagovailoa didn’t do a ton, but he was solid and the Dolphins got an important road win.

1-0. LW: 17. 13. New Orleans Saints. player. 15. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

If Jameis Winston doesn’t turn the ball over, the Saints are going to be a problem in the NFC.

26. LW: 9. Baltimore Ravens. 12. 0-1. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

Baltimore felt in control most of the night before letting it slip away. Brutal loss, with KC next.

32. Pick Analysis. Arizona Cardinals. 11. 1-0. LW: 16. player. Scouting Report

Kyler Murray came out smoking, and Chandler Jones looked like Bruce Smith on Sunday.

LW: 12. 10. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 1-0. 55. Pittsburgh Steelers

The offense remains hideous, but Pittsburgh could have the league’s best defense.

9. 13. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 1-0. LW: 11. Los Angeles Chargers

Justin Herbert is great, the defense has talent and the coaching was solid. It equals a good team.

Pick Analysis. 0-1. LW: 4. Green Bay Packers. 8. player. Scouting Report. 49

What the hell was that?

Pick Analysis. 1-0. LW: 8. 7. player. Scouting Report. San Francisco 49ers. 42

The Niners were dominant until almost having a historic collapse. All told: 1-0.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 0-1. LW: 5. 6. Cleveland Browns. player. 53

Cleveland should be pissed. Three turnovers unraveled what could have been a huge win.

16. Pick Analysis. 5. player. Buffalo Bills. Scouting Report. 0-1. LW: 3

The Bills need to play much better up front, and Josh Allen can’t miss two easy touchdowns.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 4. player. 51. 1-0. LW: 7. Los Angeles Rams

The Rams looked like we expected. Matthew Stafford made throws and the defense was terrific.

player. 1-0. LW: 6. Seattle Seahawks. 3. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 36

Seattle went on the road and buried a much-hyped Colts team. Now, the Titans at home.

Pick Analysis. LW: 2. Kansas City Chiefs. 2. player. 124. Scouting Report. 1-0

The Chiefs played awful early, got off the deck and came roaring back like a champion.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers. player. 48. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 1-0. LW: 1. 1

The Buccaneers weren’t perfect, but ultimately made the plays needed to win.
