NFL Top-10 Rankings: Eagles Solidify Top Spot; Colts, Lions, 49ers In; Chiefs Out

After losing the powerhouse Super Bowl LIX rematch against the Eagles, the Chiefs have dropped from my top 10. Kansas City has started a season 0-2 for the first time since 2014, the only year Andy Reid has missed the playoffs as Chiefs coach. 

So if the Chiefs are out, let's see who's in after some thrilling Week 2 action.

The defending champs look primed for a back-to-back run after a dominant performance in a Super Bowl LIX rematch on the road against the Chiefs. Though far from perfect, the Eagles possess the talent, depth and pedigree to win in any environment against any opponent. Most importantly, they have a franchise quarterback in Jalen Hurts who holds his teammates accountable for playing to a championship standard.

The Micah Parson trade has not only given the Packers the most impressive defense in the league, but the move has put Matt LaFleur’s squad atop the list of title contenders. With a shutdown defense complementing a dynamic offense that can run through Jordan Love or Josh Jacobs, the Packers could be an unstoppable force by season’s end.

After cruising to a victory over the Jets, the Bills hold onto their spot as the AFC’s No. 1 team. Sean McDermott’s squad takes care of business like championship contenders, dispatching opponents in workmanlike fashion.

After opening their season with a win over the Chiefs in Brazil on Sept. 5, the Chargers finally get back into action Monday night against the Raiders. Jim Harbaugh's squad has all of the requisite pieces (franchise quarterback, potent running game and a stingy defense) to compete at the highest level.

It is hard to fancy a team from "Hollywood" as a blue-collar squad, but the Rams play an old-school brand of ball that is perfect for the postseason.
