NFL Week 1 Power Rankings: Top 10 Teams May Surprise You

Our weekly evaluations will focus on key performance indicators beyond just wins and losses.

We’ll analyze offensive efficiency, defensive improvements, injury management, and how well teams adapt their game plans based on early-season results.
