2. team. 49. It may have come a few months too late, but the Packers beat the Seattle Seahawks. After taking a 13-3 lead at halftime, they held on for the win. <strong><a href=. (2-0). Previous: 2nd. green bay packers

32. <strong><a href=. (2-0). Previous: 6th. arizona cardinals. 3. team

The Cowboys again had a major injury to a key player as <strong><a href=. (2-0). Previous: 4th. Dallas cowboys. 4. team. 123

36. Starting out 0-2 puts teams in dire straits right off the bat. Only about 13 percent of teams that start with that record make the playoffs (only about 8 percent in the last decade). If there is a team that can do it, though, it is the Seahawks. <strong><a href=. (0-2). Previous: 3rd. seattle seahawks. 5. team

9. team. 46. The Colts had another mistake-filled game. <strong><a href=. (0-2). Previous: 5th. indianapolis colts

59. The Dolphins had an ugly loss on Sunday, losing to the Jacksonville Jaguars. <strong><a href=. (1-1). Previous: 10th. miami dolphins. 10. team

The Chiefs’ literally gave the game away against the Broncos. <strong><a href=. (1-1). Previous: 11th. kansas city chiefs. 11. team. 124

(1-1). Previous: 12th. buffalo bills. 12. team. 16. The good news for the Bills is that they put up 32 points. The bad news is that the defense gave up 40 points. They gave up 466 passing yards to Brady, who usually struggles against Rex Ryan defenses. Don’t worry, Bills, the Patriots are on a mission to destroy their opponents. Ask the Steelers.

The Jets have been impressive so far. <strong><a href=. (2-0). Previous: 18th. new york jets. 13. team. 30

Perhaps the best thing to happen to Minnesota was for them to have a short week. They could put the awful game they had against San Francisco behind them and work on Detroit. It worked, as <strong><a href=. (2-0). Previous: 17th. minnesota vikings. 14. team. 60

Previous: 14th. st. louis rams. 15. team. 51. The Rams fell behind 17-0 at halftime and could not get back into the game. <strong><a href=. (1-1)

87. <strong><a href=. (2-0). Previous: 19th. carolina panthers. 17. team

Previous: 23rd. atlanta falcons. 18. team. 44. The Falcons wanted to show that last week’s win against the Eagles was no fluke. They played the Giants tough, but were down in the fourth quarter and the Giants were driving to put the game away. Then, in what is becoming the norm for <strong><a href=. (2-0)

19. team. 50. Last week, the Vikings’ defense gave up 230 yards on the ground to San Francisco. The Lions could only muster 38 this week. Their defense gave up 134 yards rushing and another 58 yards receiving to Adrian Peterson. They got down 14-0 in the second quarter and could not recover.. (0-2). Previous: 15th. detroit lions

philadelphia eagles. 20. team. 54. The Eagles expected to win a game against the Cowboys without the best receiver in the game, Dez Bryant. Then they knocked out Tony Romo (broken clavicle). Easy win, right? Wrong. Somehow, some way, the Eagles could not win. Their offensive line is playing horribly, and <strong><a href=. (0-2). Previous: 16th

baltimore ravens. 21. team. 26. The Ravens got into a shooting match with…the Raiders? The Ravens defense gave up 448 yards to…the Raiders? <strong><a href=. (0-2). Previous: 20th

28. Derek Carr had the game of his life, carving the Ravens’ defense. Without their best pass rusher in <strong><a href=. (1-1). Previous: 27th. oakland raiders. 22. team

23. team. 10. The Texans made a quarterback change after <strong><a href=. (0-2). Previous: 22nd. houston texans

Previous: 21st. chicago bears. 24. team. 57. Things could not get worse for the Bears on Sunday. The defense could not stop anything, and when it did it was because of a penalty. The offense was moving early on, but once Jay Cutler left due to a strained hamstring, it came to a halt. With Cutler missing at least two weeks, things will not get better for the Bears. The hometown Cubs are playing like Bears, and the Bears are playing like small Cubs.. (0-2)

team. 15. The Saints were going up against the team that arguably disappointed the most last week. They were also playing them at home. That should equal a win, right? Well…no. Add to the mix a <strong><a href=. (0-2). Previous: 24th. new orleans saints. 25

Previous: 29th. jacksonville jaguars. 27. team. 52. The Jaguars avoided going 0-2 for the fourth consecutive season. This was a big win for them. <strong><a href=. (1-1)

28. team. 42. <strong><a href=. (1-1). Previous: 26th. san francisco 49ers

31. The Giants again refused to win a game. With a chance to seal a victory late in the game against the Falcons, an Eli fumble (is he competing with Jay Cutler to see who turns the ball over more?) led to the winning score for Atlanta.. (0-2). Previous: 25th. new york giants. 29. team
