NFL Power Rankings, Week 2: Vikings, Dolphins climb; Packers, Raiders slip

Football has returned and nobody knows anything.

That’s one way to put it after a Week 1 in which so much of the conventional wisdom that dominated conversation during the summer was scattered to the wind. The defending champs were humbled in their own home, while our No. 32 team entering the season knocked off one of January’s NFC Championship Game participants.

The Bears weren’t alone. The bottom nine teams in the NFL Power Rankings ahead of Week 1 played competitive football, with four wins and a tie among the group. It helps creates an extremely unsettled league landscape as we spin forward — just the way we like it.
