NFL power rankings Week 2: Rams rise, Bengals and Giants fall

The first Sunday of the 2023 season is in the books and there was no shortage of interesting results that have created a shake-up in our NFL power rankings going into Week 2.

One of the biggest upsets of the day came in Seattle, where the Los Angeles Rams went into Lumen Field and not only beat the Seahawks, but trounced them, 30-10.

The other big upset in Week 1 was the Minnesota Vikings losing a 20-17 game to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who simply put the clamps on Kirk Cousins and Co.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, the Dallas Cowboys took care of business against the New York Giants, winning 40-0, and the San Francisco 49ers absolutely dominated the Pittsburgh Steelers, 30-7.

There’s still one more game left to be played in Week 1, with the New York Jets hosting the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football, so check back after to see how that result changes things.

But for now, here’s how things shake out in our NFL power rankings going into Week 2 after Sunday’s action.
