The defense discovering brand-new items to maintain its beat and oppress the Packers was a lot more excellent.
11. Baltimore Ravens 0-1 (7 )
The Ravens saw everybody other than the Browns win from the AFC North on Sunday, so it's unfavorable Lamar Jackson coulldn't deliver a hot beginning for them in the Las vega opener for the Raiders.

Exactly How about Jalen Harms? The Eagles looked arranged and also methodical in Atlanta with new offensive-minded coach Nick Sirianni. Exactly how about the defense? The pass rush revved up once again and also the much reviled back 7 held its own in protection. Don't sleep on them pressing the Cowboys in the NFC East.
19. New England Patriots 0-1 (18 )
Are the Patriots attempting to win with smoke and also mirrors? Nope. Just the running video game, conservative passing away video game with rookie Mac Jones, defense and also special groups.

and also in spite of some flashes in the passing
video game with Daniel Jones, they really did not obtain anything out of a recovering Saquon Barkley as well as the running game. 31. Atlanta Falcons(27 )What was that? Matt Ryan seemed to be on an island as Arthur Smith's first day of violation with his brand-new team had not been
inspiring. While Sirianni had
among the most remarkable coaching debuts, Smith was right down there near the worst. 32. Jacksonville Jaguars (30 )That worst initial mentoring job came from Urban Meyer.
