Arizona Cardinals: Arizona crushes the Bears and squashes Jay Cutler.
Atlanta Falcons: Already two games up on the New Orleans Saints and surprisingly 2-0.
Baltimore Ravens: Would Terrell Suggs have helped avoid losing to THE RAIDERS?
Buffalo Bills: Buffalo did a lot of chattering leading up to last Sunday. Then they got schooled.
Carolina Panthers: Thank goodness for a suspect division. It’s any of the four teams opportunity to take the title.
Chicago Bears: Jay Cutler goes out, Jimmy Clausen goes in and it goes downhill.
Cincinnati Bengals: The Bengals are doing the usual … winning in the regular season. Then comes the playoffs. Ouch.
Cleveland Browns: Johnny Football plays pretty well and then finds himself a backup…again. Go figure.
Dallas Cowboys: Losing Dez Bryant was one thing. Losing Tony Romo is a HUGE thing.
Denver Broncos: Peyton is not done just yet. He’s always dangerous even when he is not playing well.
Detroit Lions: One of those teams without a win. Detroit can ill afford to fall too far behind Green Bay.
Green Bay Packers: Preview of the NFC championship in beating Seattle?
Houston Texans: JJ Watt can’t carry this team to victories week in and week out. Besides, he plays defense. You have to score to win.

Kansas City Chiefs: Can Jamaal Charles say choke?
Miami Dolphins: Miami is supposed to be a contender this season. Then they ran into the Jags.
Minnesota Vikings: Adrian Peterson is back in a groove. At least for this game with 134 yards rushing, but that included two fumbles.
New England Patriots: Two games in and their offense is already lighting teams up.
New Orleans Saints: Losing at home to upstart Tampa and 0-2. Another “Aints” season in the making?
New York Giants: Eli is becoming a forgotten hero from Super Bowls past.
New York Jets: They looked pretty good in beating Indy. How good are they…really?
Oakland Raiders: Great comeback win. Believe you me, this team is dangerous.
Philadelphia Eagles: A few more losses and the Eagles fans will be spewing their hatred…on their own team.
Pittsburgh Steelers: A beautiful win on both sides of the ball.
San Diego Chargers: Nothing has really stood out in San Diego’s first two games. Business as usual.
San Francisco 49ers: It will be interesting to see how this team recovers facing the hot Arizona Cardinals in the desert this weekend.
Seattle Seahawks: Is the absence of Kam Chancellor playing a role in the 0-2 record?
St. Louis Rams: Good start with the upsets of the Seahawks, then a downer losing to the Redskins. How will they handle the Big Ben and Antonio show?
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Very nice upset first-ever NFL win for rookie Jameis Winston.
Tennessee Titans: Last week rookie Marcus Mariota outplays fellow top rookie Winston, and then he goes to Cleveland and gets sacked seven times as his team’s loses by two scores.
Washington Redskins: No one expected a 14-point victory over the surprising Rams but there it is in the books.
