4. Green Bay Packers (1-1)

Aaron Rodgers threw for a career-high 480 yards, and James Starks rushed for 132, becoming the first Packer to reach the century mark in 45 games. Needless to say, this is the best one-loss team in football. (Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty Images)

5. Houston Texans (2-0)

They’ve struggled in back-to-back weeks against inferior teams; they’re also the first team since the 1970 merger to start a season with two wins on the final play of the game. (Photo by Scott Halleran/Getty Images)

8. New Orleans Saints (2-0)

New Orleans’ 16 points were its fewest in a win since Week 4 of 2010. The defense has allowed just 14 points in its last seven quarters. (Photo by Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images)

Julio Jones is on pace for 144 catches, 2,064 yards and 16 touchdowns. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)

10. Cincinnati Bengals (1-1)

That was a game the Bengals needed to win – for many reasons. (Photo by Kirk Irwin/Getty Images)

11. Indianapolis Colts (1-1)

The Colts were just 2-for-4 in the red zone against Miami and didn’t score after the 11:35 mark of the third quarter. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)

12. Baltimore Ravens (1-1)

John Harbaugh is 11-0 against the Browns. Unfortunately, No. 11 cost him Ray Rice. (Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images)

13. Kansas City Chiefs (2-0)

The Chiefs have scored a touchdown on all five of their red-zone trips this year, which is probably why they’re 2-0. They scored a touchdown on just 27 percent of their red-zone trips last year, which is probably why they finished 2-14. (Photo by Kyle Rivas/Getty Images)

14. Miami Dolphins (2-0)

The Dolphins are the only team in the league with two road wins. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)

15. Dallas Cowboys (1-1)

The Cowboys ran 16 times for 37 yards (2.3 yards per carry) against Kansas City and allowed the Chiefs to run 25 times for 114 yards (4.6 yards per carry). When you can’t run or stop the run, winning becomes difficult. (Photo by Kyle Rivas/Getty Images)

16. Detroit Lions (1-1)

The offense didn’t score in the second half against Arizona. That can’t happen. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)

17. St. Louis Rams (1-1)

Moral victories don’t really exist in the NFL, but the Rams turned a 21-0 deficit into a ball game. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)

18. Philadelphia Eagles (1-1)

The offense reached the 30-point barrier once more, but the defense allowed its most yardage (539) since 2005. (Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images)

19. Arizona Cardinals (1-1)

Ten different Cardinals caught passes against Detroit. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)

20. San Diego Chargers (1-1)

21. Buffalo Bills (1-1)

His game-winning pass to Stevie Johnson is something E.J. Manuel will never forget. (Photo by Rick Stewart/Getty Images)

22. Tennessee Titans (1-1)

The Titans didn’t turn the ball over and got a pick-six, but it wasn’t enough to win at Houston. Still, Tennessee looks much more competitive than it did a season ago. (Photo by Bob Levey/Getty Images)

23. Washington Redskins (0-2)

For the second time in less than a week, the Redskins were beaten by halftime. (Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty Images)

24. New York Giants (0-2)

26. Minnesota Vikings (0-2)

For the first time in franchise history, the Vikings returned a kick and a fumble for touchdowns – and they still couldn’t beat the Bears. It’s going to be a long season. (Photo by David Banks/Getty Images)

27. Pittsburgh Steelers (0-2)

The defense isn’t bad; the offense is dreadful. (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)

28. New York Jets (1-1)

Geno Smith showed great maturity last Thursday, putting the loss to the Patriots on himself. Now he just needs to make better decisions – and teach his receivers how to catch. (Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images)
