Cohen's Top 10 NFL Power Rankings
1) Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0) - Blew out Houston and it appears they won't stop there with a weak division to feast off of.
2) Dallas Cowboys (1-0) - Their convincing win over the struggling Browns showed America that the Boys are indeed focused on the prize. Big challenge in the next two weeks: home vs. Philadelphia and at Green Bay.
3) N.Y. Giants (1-0) - They are the World Champs and are still one of the league's elite until someone stops them. With an easy schedule until Halloween, the Giants will be rolling in 2008.
4) New Orleans Saints (1-0) - Came all the way back to beat the Buccaneers in a huge home game. It might be a preview of things to come for the Saints in 2008.
5) Carolina Panthers (1-0) - It's easy to forget that the Panthers were an NFC favorite to go to the Super Bowl in 2005 and 2006. Well, they are back after a improbable victory in San Diego as Jake Delhome won the game with a touhdown pass in the final two seconds of the game. Watch out if they stay healthy.
6) Chicago Bears (1-0) - Every year people expect the Bears to fold, but each year they suprise everyone and make a postseason charge. Shocking the Colts in Week One was a good start in that direction.
7) N.Y. Jets (1-0) - What a difference Brett Favre is making in New York. The Jets offense played crisp football for three quarters. In the fourth quarter, they had to sweat things out a bit, but the play of corners Dwight Lowery, Darrell Revis and linebacker Calvin Pace has this defense playing at a high level. With Tom Brady out for the Pats, the Jets are now one of the AFC favorites.
8) Buffalo Bills (1-0) - The Bills were a tough team to beat last year, this year they look even better. Beating up an elite team like the Seahawks was a good start in the right direction. The Bills have a good future for 2008, especially with Tom Brady out for the Patriots.
9) Green Bay Packers (1-0) - Impressive start for Aaron Rodgers. The kid looked like a seasoned veteran in his first NFL start against a good Vikings defense. The Packers, with veteran talent, should be fine in 2008.
10) San Diego Chargers (0-1) - Even though they lost in the final seconds to Carolina, the Chargers look like they will be very good this year. Phillip Rivers was slinging the ball all over the field in week one, and, defensivley, they are too talented not to figure out how to live without Shawn Merriman.
