Post-Week 1 rankings
The Patriots unleashed an impressive comeback Monday night to beat the Bills, but let’s face it: They were lucky to win. That said, and after Pittsburgh looked impressive from the fourth quarter on (Hines Ward’s fumble notwithstanding) against Tennessee, I moved the Steelers to No. 1 this week. The Seahawks made the week’s biggest jump, from No. 20 to No. 15, while the Panthers dropped eight to No. 22 after their turnover-filled loss to the Eagles. And oh, there’s a new No. 32 — the Rams officially look like the worst team in the NFL.
