Week 3

ALEX MARVEZ (Foxsports.com)

1. San francisco bay area 49ers - The 49ers aren't just winning games. They've mauled two quality teams (Green Bay and Detroit) in the process to some 2-0 start.

2. Houston Texans - The Texans have outgained Miami and Jacksonville by almost a two-to-one margin while allowing one offensive touchdown. cheap indianapolis colts jerseys

3. Atlanta Falcons - Just as Joe Flacco in Baltimore, Atlanta's Matt Ryan is making major strides toward becoming at the very top quarterback in her fifth NFL season.

4. Green Bay Packers - The Packers' coaching staff deserves praise with the quick fixes meant to the run and defense inside a four-day span between Week 1 loss to S . fransisco and last Thursday's 23-10 victory over Chicago.

5. Philadelphia Eagles - Nine turnovers by 50 % games should translate for an 0-2 record, Instead, a lot-improved defense has carried the Eagles to consecutive one-point victories.

6. Baltimore Ravens - The Ravens have legitimate reason to gripe about the officiating in a very 24-23 loss to Philadelphia, but Baltimore's offensive line did the team no favors by getting a great deal pressure on quarterback Joe Flacco.

7. Arizona Cardinals - A 20-18 road upset of the Patriots would be a fluke, even so the Cardinals defense is designed for real plus the major reason for just a 2-0 start.

8. New England Patriots - The Patriots enter Sunday night's game against Baltimore with two major questions about offense: How they replace injured tight end Aaron Hernandez (ankle) and why has offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels reduced wide receiver Wes Welker's role?

9. San Diego Chargers - If the Chargers keep rolling, gm A.J. Smith deserves consideration for NFL Executive of the Year honors. San Diego's improved depth and defensive front seven have helped carry they into a 2-0 start.

10. Gambling - Eli Manning once more showcased his capability to lead Big apple back from second-half deficits in last Sunday's 41-34 victory over Tampa Bay. The Giants may require Manning to maintain working his magic until plugging a porous secondary.

11. Gambling - Peyton Manning's comeback hit its first speed bump in a 27-21 loss to Atlanta using a three-interception outing. Manning completed 24 of 37 passes overall, but he seemed to throw more wobblers than spirals. That could not bode well with Denver playing most of its regular season games outdoors.

12. Pittsburgh Steelers - New offensive coordinator Todd Haley's emphasis on the short passing game is paying dividends for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. His 64.8 completion percentage puts him on pace for his best mark since 2009.

13. Dallas Cowboys - Teams coming off 11 days of rest and a road victory on the defending Super Bowl champions shouldn't look as sloppy because the Cowboys did in last Sunday's 27-7 loss at Seattle. Such is par for that course with one of the league's most inconsistent squads.

14. Detroit Lions - The Lions have held the lead for only 8:08 inside their initial couple of games. That ought to change Sunday at Tennessee even with injuries continuing to mount in Detroit's secondary.

15. Chicago Bears - As a result of his meltdown during last Thursday night's loss to Green Bay, the in-game dynamic between Bears quarterback Jay Cutler with the exceptional offensive line is the primary storyline heading into Sunday's home game against St. Louis.

16. Carolina Panthers - After being held to 10 rushing yards on 13 carries inside a Week 1 loss at Tampa Bay, the Panthers rediscovered their offensive identity that has a 221-yard explosion last Sunday against New Orleans.

17. Cincinnati Bengals - The Bengals should tighten a defense that is surrendering 434.5 yards a casino game.

18. Big apple Jets - Could it be Tebow time yet? With starting quarterback Mark Sanchez completing just three of 17 passes during one stretch, the Jets could have used Tim Tebow to spruce an uninspiring offensive effort in Sunday's 27-10 loss to Pittsburgh.

19. Seattle Seahawks - The bone-crunching block that wide receiver Golden Tate sent to Dallas linebacker Sean Lee exemplified what amount more fight the Seahawks been on an unusual 27-7 laugher.

20. Washington Redskins - The news that followed a 31-28 loss to St. Louis only agreed to be as disheartening. The Redskins lost two key defensive players to the season in outside linebacker Brian Orakpo (torn musculus pectoralis) and defensive end Adam Carriker (quadriceps).

21. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - If your Bucs' secondary wouldn't have disappeared within the wife or husband of a 41-34 loss for the Giants, Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano wouldn't have had to try his desperation strategy to force a fumble for the game's final kneel-down.

22. Saints - One of the most painful defensive statistic for the slumping Saints: New Orleans averaged almost 30 points in their first couple of games and lost both. cheap 49ers jerseys  

23. St. Louis Rams - Along with his 15 catches for 160 yards and another touchdown, wide receiver Danny Amendola helped quarterback Sam Bradford look his best since winning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors really.

24. Buffalo Bills - A 35-17 blowout of Kansas proved the Bills aren't badly because they looked within a horrific Week 1 loss towards the Jets.

25. Gambling - The Colts needed many luck - such as Andrew Luck - to win Sunday against Minnesota. Indianapolis survived offensive line injuries and fourth-quarter defensive breakdowns on account of Luck leading the overall game-winning screw a final minute.

26. Minnesota Vikings - Vikings coach Leslie Frazier admitted Monday that his young team "will play lots of close games." Actually Minnesota's defense do not want anymore late collapses like the one out of Sunday's 23-20 loss to Indianapolis.

27. Miami Dolphins - From a rough year personally and professionally, Dolphins coach Joe Philbin deserved a break. He got one - as well as the game ball - with Sunday's 35-13 blowout of Oakland.

28. Oakland Raiders - In defense from the Raiders, we were holding playing a single p.m. ET away game using a short week. That is the only defense Oakland had while surrendering 172 rushing yards and also touchdowns to Miami's Reggie Bush in a very 35-13 loss.

29. Cleveland Browns - The rookie duo of quarterback Brandon Weeden and running back Trent Richardson were considerably more productive against Cincinnati when compared to every week 1 loss to Philadelphia. Unfortunately to the Browns, the opposite was the way it is for just a defense now lacking suspended starting cornerback Joe Haden for three more games.

30. Gambling - Running back Chris Johnson (19 carries for 21 yards) isn't the Titans' only trouble spot. Second-year quarterback Jake Locker looks overmatched and the defense can't cover tight ends.

31. Jacksonville Jaguars - The fan who ran about the field seemingly forever Sunday prior to tackled by lax EverBank Field security during Jacksonville's 27-7 loss to Houston covered more ground as opposed to record-low 117 yards of offense the Jaguars produced. Jacksonville's run defense also is floundering, having allowed an average of 169.5 yards against the Texans and Vikings.

32. Gambling - Was last year's strong 2-1 finish under then-interim coach Romeo Crennel a mirage or will be the Chiefs just slow stepping out of the gate for the second straight season? It seems as if the first sort hitherto, particularly with the disappointing way Kansas City's defense has played.
