AFC 2010 Week Three Power Rankings

There are some big changes to my week three power rankings after some outstanding performances. The Steelers showed their teeth on defense, and the Jets outscored the Patriots. What a week two it was in the NFL!

2010 AFC Power Rankings

1.Indianapolis Colts(4) – How could I doubt Peyton Manning and Co.? Sorry Peyton, you are worthy.

2.Baltimore Ravens(1) – Tough loss at Bengals, defense looks as good as ever though. Joe Flacco won't have too many more 4 INT games either.

3.Miami Dolphins(5) – The Dolphins are 2-0 for the first time since 2002. What's more impressive is the fact that Miami hasn't even played a home game yet.

4.Houston Texans(6) – With two morale building wins (Colts,Redskins), the Texans may have a shot at the playoffs for the first time ever.

5.Pittsburgh Steelers(7) – I thought the Steelers would fold without Big Ben – they haven't. With Dennis Dixon now on the shelf, that 2-0 start is huge.

6.Tennessee Titans(3) – 7 turnovers at home against Pittsburgh, Vince Young benched, at least the defense comes to play.

7.New England Patriots(2) – A tough loss to the Jets may raise some concern as to just how good this defense isn't. Randy Moss toasted Darrelle Revis by the way.

8.New York Jets(9) – I get it. Come to play in the games you want – talk trash and hope to scare the opponents in the ones you don't. Genius.

9.Cincinnati Bengals(8) – Will the real Cincinnati Bengals please stand up?

10.Kansas City Chiefs(10) – Charlie Weis calling the offense, Romeo Crennel defense, is this the new Patriots of the next decade?

11.San Diego Chargers(11) – please see #9.

12. Denver Broncos(13) – Kyle Orton continues to impress, why bother messing with Tim Tebow at all in 2010?

13.Oakland Raiders(15) – Finally! Darren McFadden stats after 2 games – 240 rushing yards, 63 receiving, 1 TD.

14.Jacksonville Jaguars(12) – It might be time to dump David Garrard(4 INT Sunday vs SD), guess he was just a one year wonder.

15.Cleveland Browns(14) – Maybe it's time for Eric Mangini to find out what rookie QB Colt McCoy is all about.

16.Buffalo Bills(16) – If they don't get a QB soon, it's going to be a loooooong season in Buffalo, New York.

The AFC is mush like the NBA Western Conference with so many teams playoff worthy. Only six teams can be in the tournament, tune in to week three action to see who improves their chances.
