And just like that we've got a new No. 1 in this week's Wildly Important NFL Power Rankings.
The Packers (1-0) appear to have a nasty defense to go along with their already-potent offense. Green Bay jumps from the third spot to the top spot after putting away the Seahawks (0-1) in a slugfest at Lambeau Field. Bottling up Russell Wilson and Co. and holding them to nine points will do that.
POWER RANKINGS
- Previous weeks: 1
We knew the Chiefs (1-0) were good, but who saw them going into New England and rolling the Patriots after their Super Bowl banner-hanging party? Not me. After that performance, Kansas City jumps four spots to No. 3 this week while the Patriots (0-1) drop down to No. 5.
Biggest tumble? The Giants (0-1), who plummet 11 spots after that performance against the Cowboys (1-0) on "Sunday Night Football." And here are the rankings heading into Week 2.
| Rank | Team | Comment | Last Week | |
| 1 |
 | Packers(1-0) | Beating the Seahawks is never easy. Holding them to three field goals is even more impressive. Up next: A trip to Atlanta for an even bigger test. | 3 |
| 2 |
 | Falcons(1-0) | Defense comes up big in a tougher-than-expected road win. They'll need to tackle better vs. Pack. New stadium debuts on 'SNF.' It'll be a playoff-like atmosphere. | 2 |
| 3 |
 | Chiefs(1-0) | Alex Smith and Co. go into Foxborough and spoil the Patriots' party. Very impressive road win. What happened to all of that Patrick Mahomes talk? | 7 |
| 4 |
 | Steelers(1-0) | The good? Steelers sacked DeShone Kizer seven times and Antonio Brown was, as usual, ridiculously good. The bad? The Browns gave 'em all they could handle. | 4 |
| 5 |
 | Patriots(0-1) | The last time they were embarrassed by the Chiefs in prime time was 2014, and they went on to win the Super Bowl. Now it's "on to New Orleans." | 1 |
| 6 |
 | Cowboys(1-0) | Whoa. The defense was supposed to be this team's Achilles heel, right? Big D holds the Giants to three points and gets an important divisional win. | 6 |
| 7 |
 | Seahawks(0-1) | When isn't the officiating weird in a Seahawks-Packers game? Tough road loss in Lambeau, but they'll likely rebound this week vs. the 49ers. | 5 |
| 8 |
 | Raiders(1-0) | Raiders pick up a nice win on the road over a decent Titans team. Marshawn Lynch ran strong and the D held "exotic smashmouth" in check. | 9 |
| 9 |
 | Lions(1-0) | Nice comeback win for the Lions. Matthew Stafford was solid, as usual. But how about that Lions defense forcing three interceptions? Wow. | 12 |
| 10 |
 | Buccaneers(0-0) | Their game in Miami was postponed due to Hurricane Irma and they stay put in the 10 spot. Next up: Chicago. | 10 |
| 11 |
 | Eagles(1-0) | Strong showing by Carson Wentz and that Eagles defense for an important divisional win. Next game in Kansas City will be very telling. | 14 |
| 12 |
 | Vikings(1-0) | Adrian Peterson who? Rookie Dalvin Cook (127 rushing yards) looks like the real deal in his debut. The NFC North could get interesting. | 19 |
| 13 |
 | Dolphins(0-0) | Their home game vs. the Buccaneers will be played on Nov. 19 due to Hurricane Irma. Both teams will play for 16 consecutive weeks now. | 13 |
| 14 |
 | Ravens(1-0) | Joe Flacco is back and didn't do much, but he didn't have to against the hapless Bengals. Defense pitches a shutout, which is always impressive. | 18 |
| 15 |
 | Broncos(1-0) | Big win over the Chargers on Monday night. Shelby Harris blocks a potential game-tying field goal attempt, giving Vance Joseph his first win. | 16 |
| 16 |
 | Cardinals(0-1) | The four Carson Palmer picks have to be a concern. This team looked primed for a Super Bowl run not that long ago. Not now. Father Time catching up? | 11 |
| 17 |
 | Panthers(1-0) | Cam Newton's shoulder looked OK as he tossed two touchdown passes against a 49ers team that's clearly rebuilding. | 17 |
| 18 |
 | Saints(0-1) | So much for Adrian Peterson "sticking it" to the Vikes. What's up with Sean Payton giving AP just six carries though? Saints' D gives up 470 yards. Sound familiar? | 15 |
| 19 |
 | Giants(0-1) | What a tumble. No Odell Beckham Jr., but how do you explain scoring just three points against the Cowboys' defense? Maybe AP should've signed with the Giants. | 8 |
| 20 |
 | Chargers(0-1) | Gut-wrenching loss for Philip Rivers and the Chargers following that fourth-quarter comeback. Sound familiar? | 22 |
| 21 |
 | Titans(0-1) | Good to see Marcus Mariota back from his broken leg. Suddenly this week's game vs. the Jags doesn't look like cakewalk anymore. | 23 |
| 22 |
 | Jaguars(1-0) | Ten sacks? Are you kidding me? I don't care if it was against Tom Savage and rookie Deshaun Watson. Losing receiver Allen Robinson hurts. | 28 |
| 23 |
 | Rams(1-0) | The Rams won 46-9 in Sean McVay's debut and Jared Goff threw for 306 yards and a touchdown. Relax. It was against the Colts, who stink right now. | 25 |
| 24 |
 | Bears(0-1) | The Bears hung around against the defending NFC champs. Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen give the Bears a nice 1-2 punch. Tough one vs. Bucs next. | 26 |
| 25 |
 | Redskins(0-1) | This team looked like a mess heading into the season and played like it vs. the Eagles. Kirk Cousins was picked off at the goal line and fumbled twice. Woof. | 24 |
| 26 |
 | Bengals(0-1) | Prime-time Andy Dalton played in place of day-time Dalton. Four picks and a fumble vs. the Ravens. Up next: Texans. On Thursday night. Prime time. Oh boy. | 20 |
| 27 |
 | Bills(1-0) | They won, but it was against the Jets. Sean McDermott gets his first win as head coach. But it was against the Jets. | 30 |
| 28 |
 | Texans(0-1) | This team has some parts, but struggled on both sides of the ball against Jacksonville. Maybe a trip to Cincy will help get them back on track. | 21 |
| 29 |
 | Browns(0-1) | They battled the Steelers to the end and gave 'em a scare, so that's a positive. And DeShone played decent, too. Something to build on? | 29 |
| 30 |
 | 49ers(0-1) | They could only muster three points against the Panthers and a trip to Seattle is up next. Looks like it might be a long year for Kyle Shanahan. | 31 |
| 31 |
 | Colts(0-1) | This team isn't very good and who knows when Andrew Luck will be back. Some reports suggest October. Season could be lost by then. | 27 |
| 32 |
 | Jets(0-1) | Is it April yet? The Jets are on the clock. | 32 |
