NFL Power Rankings Week 3: Bills stay on top, Dolphins surge after Tua Tagovioloa comeback, 49ers remain high with Jimmy Garoppolo starting again

See where the Falcons rank after Week 2 loss to Rams

Tua Tagovailoa threw six touchdowns in a crazy comeback over the Ravens.

Yeah, you read that right. Six. Miami looks as good as it has in years, with firepower at the skill spots and a smart-as-a-whip head coach capable of creating opportunities. That has the Dolphins surging up these power rankings, as a surprise team currently residing in the upper tier.

The Philadelphia Eagles seem determined to join an upper echelon that has remained relatively static in recent years. That's fun. And it's good for football. The same three powers are at the very top, despite the Chargers making a serious run at the Chiefs.

Even some regular cellar dwellers are showing some life, another fun development in an early season full of dramatic finishes. Let's take a look at how everything shook out in the NFL following Week 2 action, including where the Falcons landed after their loss to the Rams.

Kyler Murray must've run 100 yards (laterally) on that TD score we've all seen by mow. Impressive, but not as much as the comeback he and the Cards pulled off.

New England Patriots
New England doesn’t belong down this far, but we’ve got to prove a point. Patriots did not look good. I’m sure Boston media is reacting in a calm, measured manner.

Nice job, Jags. Now do it against a team that isn't Indy (a team they apparently own).

Sink 'em like a stone until Indy shows us something.

At one point, the Jets had a 99.9 percent chance of losing to the Browns. Still won. The NFL is nuts. And win probabilities are dumb.

Atlanta could easily have a better record after playing two tough teams. Just gotta finish.
