Chiefs Ranked No. 7, Rams No. 5, Ravens Worst NFL Defense After Week One

As the NFL season progresses into Week 2, several teams face critical matchups and rankings that highlight their current form and challenges. The Kansas City Chiefs, ranked No. 7 by On SI, aim to avoid an 0-2 start with a pivotal home game against the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, relying heavily on their offensive line to protect Patrick Mahomes and secure a team effort. The Jacksonville Jaguars, ranked No. 19, seek to build on a strong opening performance as they travel to face the Cincinnati Bengals, with head coach Liam Coen's offense showing promise but needing to maintain consistency. The Baltimore Ravens showcase a powerful offense, ranking first in rushing and second in total offense, yet struggle defensively, sitting last in total defense and pass defense after allowing 497 yards and 41 points in their opener. The Los Angeles Rams, ranked fifth by analyst Colin Cowherd, look to continue their momentum from a Week 1 victory, with a defense that has improved markedly and an offense that depends on key playmakers like Puka Nacua. Meanwhile, power rankings reveal struggles for teams like the Saints, Panthers, Dolphins, Giants, Browns, and Patriots, highlighting ongoing issues with quarterback play, defense, and overall team cohesion early in the season.
