Packers, Rams, Chargers: GiveMeSport's NFL power rankings after Week 1

The NFL season is through its first week, and now that we have all of the results in, we need to update our power rankings.

Week 1 was certainly one that lived up to the hype that has been building ever since the Los Angeles Rams hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy in the air back in February. We had a highly entertaining first game as the Buffalo Bills eased past the defending champs on their own turf, and that’s before we even got to the opening Sunday of the season.

Multiple games coming down to the wire, plenty of teams already having a lot of their plans dashed as a result of injuries, and we are already starting to get an inkling as to what teams can do well and what they need to improve on if they’re going to be successful.

As we mentioned yesterday in our weekly recap, this is just one game and it’s hard to get a true sense of where things are going, but based on the eye test and other factors, some of which might have been lingering since last season and into the preseason, you can take a bit of an educated guess as to where things are going.

So with that being said, here are who we believe are the top ten teams in the NFL right now:

If there is one thing that their loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers demonstrated, is that their offensive line, despite seeing numerous changes in a bid to improve, still needs a lot of work if they’re going to have any success. A lack of protection for Joe Burrow led to a number of turnovers that, if the Steelers were a better team on offense wouldn’t have been allowed to get as close as it did.

These should get better in time and then the rest of the offense will follow, but until that new unit gels, Burrow is still facing the same problems as last year.

They were ranked pretty closely
