Goodbye week 1 of the NFL season. Hello week 2 power rankings. Where do the Ravens land?
Week one of the 2019 NFL season is in the books. It was an exciting weekend, filled with a mix of highly-contested and a few blowouts spread in the mix. Some teams surprised us with their play and others showed us that they are exactly who we thought they were. So, with that in mind, let’s go through all 32 teams, 32-1, and see where each stands after opening weekend.
32. Miami Dolphins
This was an example of what happens when a front office is seemingly tanking on purpose. The Dolphins were completely outmatched and outplayed by the Ravens. Brian Flores and the rest of that coaching are in for a long season, if Sunday was any indication of what this team brings to the table.
31. New York Giants
The Giants first action without Odell Beckham Jr. looked like the same offense with him. Eli Manning struggled and looks to be at the end of the road. The defense didn’t look any better, surrendering over 400 yards through the air to Dak Prescott.
30. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Jameis Winston has failed to live up to the number one pick that he was selected with back in the 2015 draft, and he didn’t help his case Sunday against the 49ers. Winston finished the game with three interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns. He also had two fumbles, both being recovered by Tampa Bay however.
29. Arizona Cardinals
All eyes were on number one overall pick, Kyler Murray in the Cardinals matchup against the Lions. Murray struggled through three quarters, until the fourth where he lead an 18 point comeback to tie the game and send it into overtime. The game ultimately ended in a 27-27 tie. Murray had a up and down game, but the Arizona defense surrendered almost 500 yards of offense.
