Team Ranking(Previous Ranking)
1.(1) Tampa Bay - outstanding defense and good enough offense - sounds like the 2002 Bucs
2.(6) Pittsburgh - dominated both sides of the ball against the Ravens
3.(3) Philadelphia - McNabb had an off day, the Eagles will be fine
4.(2) Tennessee - kicking game may be shaky sans Joe Nedney
5.(15) San Francisco - if Garcia can stay healthy, look out
6.(8) Denver - Plummer still doesn't impress, but the defense looks good
7.(14) Buffalo - an outstanding performance against rival Patriots
8.(4) Miami - weren't up for the Texans, they better be ready for the Jets
9.(5) Oakland - looked slow and sluggish Sunday night
10.(7) Green Bay - Favre needs Donald Driver to get healthy fast
11.(18) Atlanta - defense took care of the Cowboys...one less week until Michael Vick returns
12.(19) Seattle - Hasselbeck and Alexander could be one of the best QB/RB tandems in the league this season
13.(13) Kansas City - Priest Holmes looked as sharp as he did the first half of last season
14.(10) Indianapolis - offense struggled last week, but defense once again is improved
15.(11) St. Louis - Bulger gets his shot with Warner out...controversy looms
16.(26) Minnesota - surprised many by winning at Green Bay
17.(9) New Orleans - Saints struggled on both sides of the ball last week
18.(23) N.Y. Giants - both sides of the ball played well against the Rams
19.(12) Cleveland - defense looked better than expected, offense needs to work on putting the ball in the end zone inside the five
20.(22) Carolina - Jake Delhomme leads comeback win and gets the start this week
21.(25) Jacksonville - Brunell looked outstanding last week
22.(21) San Diego - couldn't beat Chiefs in S.D., you have to win home games against division rivals
23.(27) Washington - Ramsey played well enough not to lose Thursday night
24.(17) N.Y. Jets - need to get Curtis Martin more touches
25.(16) New England - lack of consistent run game may finally catch up to the Pats this season
26.(30) Detroit - Mariucci may make Harrington and Rogers look like Montana and Rice down the road
27.(20) Baltimore - an awful performance all the way around against the Steelers - Browns are next
28.(31) Houston - a thrilling win over the Dolphins will add some confidence, but they still have a long way to go
29.(28) Dallas - already scouting QBs for 2004 draft
30.(24) Chicago - miserable play in every facet of the game last week
31.(29) Cincinnati - weren't they supposed to be improved under Marvin Lewis?
32.(32) Arizona - Blake and Boldin may at least provide some excitement this season
