Power rankings: Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs fight for top spot
By Darin McCann
4. Green Bay Packers, 2-0 (5)
Aaron Rodgers looks to be in control of this offense, and that is bad news for opponents. They jumped all over Detroit, and have the feel of a team that is going to have a say about who wins the NFC. That pass-rush is scary, too.
3. Buffalo Bills, 2-0 (4)
They are seemingly set at every position, and quarterback Josh Allen’s development is hard to ignore. He is flat-out dealing to start this season. Him and Lamar Jackson have proven that hard work can indeed help a quarterback’s accuracy and growth.
2. Baltimore Ravens, 2-0 (3)
Another game, another lopsided win for the Ravens, as they rolled the Houston Texans 33-16, despite not looking particularly sharp on offense. The defense is doing enough to limit opponents, and the sheer efficiency of the offense is enough to win most games.
Most.
Monday night’s battle against the Kansas City Chiefs will establish the early-season hierarchy of the league’s power teams, and the Ravens would seem to need this confidence boost more than the Chiefs. It’s put-up time.
1. Kansas City Chiefs, 2-0 (1)
Nobody has come to take this title yet, though the Chargers did give the Chiefs a run for their money with an overtime battle. The Chiefs would love to give the Ravens a reminder on who is king in Monday’s battle.
