NFL Power Rankings: Chiefs, Eagles, Ravens, and Surprise Teams After Week 1

Missing the Point - A Sports Podcast

In this can't-miss episode of Missing the Point, your hosts Dave Clarke, Rayshawn Buchanan, and Bob Kelly break down the top NFL teams following the explosive Week 1 action. This week’s power rankings are full of surprises, and we’re diving deep into every major storyline. Are the Kansas City Chiefs still the top dogs after their strong start? We’ll examine what’s keeping them ahead of the pack and how Patrick Mahomes is adjusting to his new weapons.

The Detroit Lions shocked everyone with their Week 1 performance—are they for real? We debate their chances in the NFC and how they stack up against the ever-dominant San Francisco 49ers. Meanwhile, Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens came close to dethroning the Chiefs—are they ready to take that final step, or are their playoff hopes slipping away?

Other topics include the Philadelphia Eagles, now boasting Saquon Barkley in the backfield, and their quest for NFC supremacy. Can Jalen Hurts lead them to another deep playoff run? We’ll also discuss the Dallas Cowboys’ dominant showing in Week 1—was their blowout win a sign of things to come, or just an early-season fluke?

Plus, find out why the Buffalo Bills might be in trouble, the Texans' sleeper potential, and how injuries are impacting teams across the league. If you're a New England Patriots fan or an NFL fanatic, this episode is packed with all the analysis you need!
