NFL Power Rankings Week 3: Denver moves to the top, Dolphins nearing top ten

Following last night's Monday Night Football, it's now time to update our Phinsider Power Rankings. We're still early in the season, so we are seeing some big swings as teams jump up or down the board. I think for the first time ever, I have a team jumping up double digits this week. That's just insane.

As always, feel free to discuss my rankings, and tell us what you would change in the comments below.

	Team	LW	Change	Week 2 Result	Remarks
1	Broncos	2	+1	W, 41-23 at Giants	Peyton beats Eli. I think it's actually written in the NFL rulebook.
2	Seahawks	3	+1	W, 29-3 vs 49ers	That was an impressive way to beat last week's top team. The 49ers will rebound, but the Seahawks clearly know how to beat them.
3	Packers	4	+1	W, 38-20 vs Redskins	Hey, Aaron Rodgers is pretty good.
4	Falcons	5	+1	W, 31-24 vs Rams	The top of the NFC is ridiculous, and the Falcons are right there in that group.
5	49ers	1	-4	L, 29-3 at Seahawks	Losing to Seattle in Seattle isn't a surprise. Only putting up three points is.
6	Texans	11	+5	W, 30-24 vs Titans	Andre Johnson is concussed? DeAndre Hopkins looks ready to pick up the slack.
7	Bears	12	+5	W, 31-30 vs Vikings	Did you know the Bears had receivers not named Brandon Marshall? Jay Cutler didn't either. I guess he does now.
8	Saints	8	---	W, 16-14 at Buccaneers	Can't really make a 2-0 team lose spots, but they should have done better against the Buccaneers.
9	Bengals	13	+4	W, 20-10 vs Steelers	Good Monday Night Football performance for the team looking like they could be the run away AFC North winners.
10	Ravens	14	+4	W, 14-6 vs Browns	This team is clearly not the same team as last year's Super Bowl champions.
11	Patriots	7	-4	W, 13-10 vs Jets	The Patriots may be 2-0, but they are not playing like a top 10 team right now.
12	Dolphins	15	+3	W, 24-20 at Colts	A tough opening five games look more managable starting off 2-0.
13	Giants	6	-7	L, 41-23 vs Broncos	The only reason the Giants stay in the top half of the league with an 0-2 record is because they have to be better than that, right?
14	Colts	10	-4	L, 24-20 vs Dolphins	Slight drop from losing to the Dolphins, but this team will be looking to challenge the Texans for the division this year.
15	Chargers	18	+3	W, 33-30 at Eagles	Impressive win to go across the country, play the 1pm ET game, against Chip Kelly's jailbreak offense, and come away with the win.
16	Chiefs	26	+10	W, 17-16 vs Cowboys	Last week, they didn't move because they won 28-2 over the Jaguars. This week, they jump 10 spots after their win over Dallas.
17	Cowboys	9	-8	L, 17-16 at Chiefs	Probably dropped too much for a one point lost in Arrowhead Stadium, but, they should be able to regain those lost positions.
18	Eagles	17	-1	L, 33-30 vs Chargers	The team either needs to figure out how to run ball control, time killing offense, or keep the gas pressed and just burn out the scoreboard. Right now, they seem stuck in the middle at times.
19	Redskins	19	---	L, 38-20 at Packers	It took two games into the season for some people to start asking if Kirk Cousins would be better under center for the Redskins.
20	Lions	16	-4	L, 25-21 at Cardinals	Reggie Bush is injured, but it's being termed a "medium-term" injury, whatever that means.
21	Steelers	20	-1	L, 20-10 at Bengals	The Steelers have issues. Seriously.
22	Rams	22	---	L, 31-24 at Falcons	Started off slowly, but mounted a rally only to fall a TD short of the Falcons.
23	Vikings	21	-2	L, 31-30 at Bears	This team is better than 23, but they don't have the results to prove it.
24	Bills	27	+3	W, 24-23 vs Panthers	If the Bills can keep C.J. Spiller on track and EJ Manuel can not lose the game, this team could pick up a few more wins. And, congrats to DC$ who hit 55-, 20-, and 48-yard field goals.
25	Browns	24	-1	L, 14-6 at Ravens	I still think the Browns defense is good enough to move up in these rankings, but they have to be the team to get the W in a battle with winless Minnesota this week.
26	Titans	25	-1	L, 30-24 at Texans	With the Steelers looking off, that Week 1 win is not as impressive. Only losing to the Texans by six is, though.
27	Cardinals	29	+2	W, 25-21 vs Lions	Carson Palmer is an impressive first half quarterback for the Cardinals. Somehow, the team has to convince him, and the entire offense, to play both halves.
28	Raiders	30	+2	W, 19-9 vs Jaguars	Like the Chiefs last week, the Raiders beating the Jagaurs is really not all that impressive. They do get a slight bump because two other teams look worse.
29	Panthers	23	-6	L, 24-23 at Bills	With the Cam Newton bashing getting into full swing, this may be a really long year in Charlotte.
30	Jets	28	-2	L, 13-10 at Patriots	A 1-1 team should not be this low, but the Jets just looked horrible this week. Kind of explains why the Patriots fell out of the top 10.
31	Buccaneers	31	---	L, 16-14 vs Saints	To trade Josh Freeman or not to trade Josh Freeman, that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the NFL to suffer the slings and misthrows of outrageous Freeman, or to take arms against a sea of trouble, and by playing Glennon, end them?
32	Jaguars	32	---	L, 19-9 at Raiders	I'm not going to suggest they sign a certain former Florida Gators quarterback. Nope. Won't do it (but I probably will next week).
